Reliability is ultimately a function of maintenance. Do enough maintenance, any bike can be 'reliable'.
Next is build quality; KTM don't have a wonderful reputation for build or reliability, often sacrificing 'reliability' for performance; Honda, tends to be rather the converse... but they make a heck of a lot of bikes! And things like the CBF125's flux problem tend to offer the lie to their paragon or reliability reputation! BUT, if you are more concerned with the performance offered by a KTM, then you have probably already made that compromise to sacrifice Honda like 'reliability' for it.
End of the day, its a bit of string question! It really is!
I pick a bike based on its condition in the metal. Its reputation for 'reliability' is pretty irrelevant; what I want to use it for more so, but either which way, its down to ME, and whether I bother to change the oil and pump up the tyres and check the brake pads from time to time! Not whose factory it might have come out of however many owners ago! ____________________ My Webby'Tef's-tQ, loads of stuff about my bikes, my Land-Rovers, and the stuff I do with them!

Honda.
Based on no experience or knowledge whatsoever other than a childhood memory of my best mate's dad pulling a Honda lawnmower out of a shed having been sat there literally for YEARS and it started at the first tug of the string.
Having said that, I'm loving my Yamaha, even though it's an old dog! Honda don't produce a bike that at this moment in time I'm particularly lusting over. However that's liable to change with the wind. ____________________ Must Go Faster

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 5 years, 14 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
