I have had my 06 Speedy since new. I probally don't ride her too hard most of the time. I have always had her serviced at the Dealership where I bought her although sometimes a little late. The only problem I have ever had with her is just recently and that was only the battery needed replacing, which is pretty normal for her age.
Never owned a Hardly
but had plenty of jap bikes some of which have given me a lot of problems.
I would seriously recomend a Speedy or an America to you if you like the style of bike, the way she handles and how they make you feel. Mine has been extremely reliable which was your enquiry. After making some modifications I managed to gain some power as well which is very nice.
Go for it.
