Yeeeaaaaahh...until they do. Sorry, every now and then memories of the "high / low idle issue" pop up for me. One of the reasons I bought the '14 CB1100 standard was that I had heard about Honda's dead-on reliablity. Naturally, I get blessed with one that had the idle problems. But... while I may be slow, I am stupid...after trading the '14 in, I eventually got a '17 EX...and glad to report that after nearly 2 full years, no issues. Guess I was one of the exceptions to prove the rule.

Problems of a mechanical nature are rare on Hondas. It's the little intermittent electronic gremlins that are so hard to track down.
I suspect that electronics and wiring are the major part of BMWs warranty complaints, especially those that have customer installed electrical accessories added.
