I have only had a few motorcycles, but have had problems with
a) 2013 CB1100 - fast idle, replaced ECU at 5,000 miles
b) 1995 Harley Sportster 1200 - rebuilt clutch at 20,000 miles.
Never had a problem with my 1981 Suzuki GS1100E which I rode for 24years and 24K miles
Never had a problem with my 1976 Kawasaki KZ750 vertical twin. Only rode for under two years and don't know how many miles on it, but rode it a lot.
More recently I had a 2009 BMW K1300GT, which I loved, but put very few miles on it and had no problems. Had a 2004 BMW R1150RT which I had no problems with. Rode both BMWs very few miles and got rid of them when I found out how expensive they are when any little thing goes wrong with them. and how much routine maintenance costs on them.
I like my CB1100, but they are not without problems.
