Quality - Honda vs. Kawa (and others ?)

[Cormanus]

Critical bits of motorcycles should be designed and built to be as rust proof as possible. To be fit for purpose, a motorcycle has to be able to get as wet as sustained riding in a downpour can make it. That Z900RS tank isn't fit for purpose. Nor are bits of the CB1100. They rust too easily. In my view, that equals poor quality. That's not to say the entire bike is low quality, but Honda has certainly scrimped here and there.
