Quality - Honda vs. Kawa (and others ?)

[Tev62]

Quality and Reliability issues also depend on the type of bike. There are so many retro styled bikes out there with very low mileage, the CB included, which just don't do enough to tax the bike to uncover potential issues. There are a handful with very high mileage of course but these don't represent a large enough sample. My CB just starts and runs and I expect no problems over the years, it is after all electronically simple. But the engine paint is awful on it and this bike would look a mess if I was to regularly use it during the winter.
