My Z has 30K on the clock... it has let me down once, at home where the loom was over tightened with cable ties.



What you have seen is the worst, of a small selection of bikes. Many others have had faultless lives.


Don't panic, you could have bought a BMW, and be calling the RAC even before it's arrived !

Be aware though, reliability is a subjective issue, some people see rusty spokes as an issue, others look at the 'has the bike left me stranded' issue, others have a more pragmatic view, and look at the whole ownership, for me, this bike has been the longest I have owned a main bike (I have a TTR too), I get bored of sick of faults usually after about 2 years, this bike is coming up on it's 4th birthday. I've found that it is by far the best bike to get along with by far. It's comfy, it's got a huge range, it's cheap to run, and like a trusty Landrover, you might not get there first, but you'l deffo get there, and nature never holds you back.
