It don't make any difference what make the bike is , all the different makes build bikes that break-down. Italian, German, British, American, japanesse, Indian, Austrian, Chinese. They are only pieces of metal and plastic assembled by man and machine. Talk to mechanics who work on the different makes and they are all the same, they all breakdown at some point . Be it a problem with a regulator or a blown engine.
Look at KTM Superdukes! they have been replacing engines that are barely run-in without even opening them up. No questions asked just swop it over and get the punter back on the road = happy punter=good reputation (even if some bikes have been a problem).
