Reliability

[SportsterDoc]

Interesting to see who is at the bottom

https://www.consumerreports.org/cro/news.../index.htm

BTW, highest issue was electrical

I don't know reliable the above report is. I have a BMW for my commute with over 30k miles on it in about 2.5 years. All maintenance done as recommended by the manufacturer. Not a single problem.

From page 2: 11,000 subscribers, 12,300 M/C, 3,000 repairs...by the 4th year of ownership:

"The remaining brands—Triumph, Ducati, BMW, and Can-Am—were among the more trouble-prone. In fact, BMW and Canada-based Can-Am are both estimated to have failure rates of around 40 percent by the fourth year of ownership."

Perhaps repair would be more appropriate than "failure"?

Also, maybe Consumer Reports subscribers (I am not one) are less likely to do their own repairs??
