I have had lots of very dependable bikes, 77 DT100, 74 DT360, 76 Suzuki GT550, 66 Triumph 650 chopper (TR6C), 04 Speedmaster. All equally dependable along with many others I still have. The older bikes required more upkeep to keep them dependable except the 2 DTs, those just ran and ran and ran with no issues.

I learned all I need to know about life by killing smart people and eating their brains.
