Sounds to me a that you may very well have a worn cable, Honda always use the 'push me - pull you' system of two cables to ensure that in the event of failure you can always close the throttle.
It doesn't take very much for the cable to wear somewhere inside the sheathing and become 'sticky'.
It's also possible that somebody in the past has tried to lubricate the cable with a hydraulic lubricator (which forces lub down the casing), the problem with this is most lub oils (WD40 etc.) make the nylon liner swell causing the inner cable to bind. Just a thought.
If its an issue then I'd take it off and double check it for operation, replacing it if I thought it was going to impede my riding.
