lets not forget though, even Honda are far from perfect

you know the Honda -

that took 30 years to figure out how to make a camchain tensioner work or that chocolate wasn't the best material for camshafts on the first VFs.
plus big ends on CXs
cranks on CBX 750s
valve gear on CBX 1000s
early 'blade exhausts that paint flaked off almost imediately

and the Honda that still puts rubber brake hoses on it's sports bikes.
