According to this website, between 1,000 to 2,000 hours without maintenance. With maintenance, much longer. The huge 16-hp machine basically requires maintenance to run. https://pickgenerators.com/how-many-hours-honda-generator-lasts/
2,000 hours isn't much really, these stationary engines can run for decades, and as for maintenance, whats the problem? As an engineer you shouldn't be scared of maintaining equipment, I am a retired aircraft inspector and grease pots are OK by me.
Be my guest. You will only have to build a garage for it.
