Italian bikes are super reliable. I've owned one. The only thing Japanese bikes got better is a bigger distribution network, you can even find parts in convenience stores. This does not mean you won't find what you need for an Italian bike either. Italian bikes are super reliable and stylish. Not saying Japanese bikes lack anywhere, I've also owned one, but please don't perpetuate lies. The only bikes I've heard of actually lacking in reliability are British made bikes. They are built like crap and they will blame the Chinese or the Indian.

Any bike can be as reliable or unreliable depending on how you look after it. Yamahas are kinda workhorses so need a little less maintenance. I'd class the ducatis and aprilias as kinda exotic bikes so ud need to maintain them accordingly.

@@BeastLifeBro Agreed on the workhorse part. It's something people don't really see with Italian vehicles however. You might some others might not. They just think because they can afford the ticket price of the bike, they can afford to own one and sometimes critics (not yourself btw) but people like MCN or bikeworld don't touch on the nuances of owning a bike like an Aprilia, Ducati, mvagusta etc.

@DavidusMaximus654 yea it's the same with bmws, I've owned bmws (cars) all my life and people say they aren't reliable. But they just don't know how to look after them or did the previous owner abuse it.
