As for the Iron 883...I think when it comes to reliability I would go with the Asian bike (yeah, I know that HD is more reliable than years back).



Well if that's how you feel why aren't you riding a "reliable" Japanese rip-off of a classic British bike? I hated the Kawasaki W650 for the same reason.



edit: I don't dislike the w650 or the Bolt because they are Japanese. I don't like them because they are obviously trying to capitalize on other manufacturer's image / heritage. Only the Japanese can get away with this crap if Harley, Ducati, BMW or any other manufacturer built a bike like the W650 the motorcycle community would freak out...but it's like we almost expect this crap from the Japanese.
But I very much like the Honda CB1100...a classic UJM. Now if only Honda dealers would get some to demo ride...
