Update again - 1 month on brakes still the same. They certainly arn't leaking, the reservoir is full, but they are still very spongy. The bike is not fun to ride! Still nothing from Honda!
Update- I did take the bike back in, they bled the brakes for 2 hours, but they still didn't improve. They assured me that there was no leak, but they didn't know why the brakes were still so spongy and poor. They said they would contact Honda and get back to me. 2 weeks on and I still haven't heard anything back from them. My front brakes still need pumping before I set off anywhere and have to be very careful not to be caught out with them not working after a run outside city traffic. I certainly cannot trouble the ABS with them! The lever just comes back to the bar!

By the look of these reviews my bike seem to be the only bike that seems to be returned with issues. I've previously had problems with fuel tank breather tube, chain, and brakes leaking after the pistons were replaced. I thought after the previous service they had improved their QC process, I had no problems. But I've just had another service, the brake pads needed replacing (filled me with dread again) and I wasn't disappointed. The brakes felt very spongy, thought it was just the new pads, but this morning noticed that the reservoir was wet after getting my bike out, dried this prior to riding to work, it's not raining, but on arriving at work as you can see it is wet again. Is this personal against me? Do I need to slip back handers to the staff to get my bike actually fixed? I certainly didn't think I was unpleasant to anyone there. Why is everyone else singing praises, when my bike seems to be more broken when I get it back than when I take it in? This is now the second review I've written, leaking brakes are not acceptable once, this is twice I've now got my bike back with leaking brakes!
