i am speaking outta turn on Buells but I have owned 2 Kawi's, 3 Yammies, a Honda, and a Suzuki. They have all been far from flawless and have their weak points and strong points. My Yamahas shifted like a tractor, The Honda had to many plastic fasteners but was overall well built even if it did have a cam chain tensioner fail, the Suzuki was bulllet proof if a tad budget (SV), and the Kawi's were really iffy. My Ninja 250, admittedly a budget ride, was poorly assembled and had crappy fit n finish, my 636 is fast as hell but the noisiest SOB I have ever ridden. The forks creek and pop, the body work fits loosely and has too many plastic fasteners, the thing shifts loud, and it sounds like I am carrying $2 in change everytime I hit a bump...
