i believe honda originally recommended it around 60k miles then they changed to 90k miles

being the honda is an interference engine i would go ahead and do it as a preventative maintenance if its never been done. few hundred bucks in parts and few hrs to do the swap is alot cheaper then having to replace the motor if the belt breaks and you end up toasting the motor

Service manual suggests 105k miles under normal conditions. Under severe conditions, change it earlier.
