[Motorcycle] Forums are notorious for its imbalance of posts of own problems with motorcycles. After all, what are forums mostly about? One might get bored for the otherwise reports of great behaviour of owner machines.
All my present and past Honda motorcycles have been excellent machines to own and all of them had no major problems that prevented me from riding. None.
The CB1100, CRF1000 and PCX150 have been the most reliable Honda motorcycles I have ever owned. Zero manufacturing and designs issues have stopped me from riding them in any temperature and weather situation.
I have left my CB1100 and CRF1000 under the sun/rain/bird crap all day, and overnight in rain countless times. I have never had switch gear problems. That is my experience. If you go to the Africa Twin Forum you will find owners who pamper their CRF1000/1100s and they get gear switch problems.
So how does one get a measure of Honda reliability? Keep in mind that problems are posted significantly more often then "no problems" on forums.
