CBs OK. Look at BMW's problems

I really don't think an honest discussion about common problems is "bashing". In fact, I wish mechanical and reliability problems were discussed more openly. Many reviews only talk about performance...but that's only one aspect. Many times Honda takes a hit for being down on power...but a higher power bike that has mechanical issues and costs hundreds or thousands to repair while spending days or weeks in the shop is a whole lot more important than missing a few HP IMHO.
