I've owned mine for 2 years / 7000 miles, and bought it new. Here's the list of problems I've had:

2 indicator bulbs blown (a faulty indicator was replaced under warranty at the 500 mile service)
2 headlight bulbs blown
2 speedo cable loops broken (both replaced under warranty)
Paint peeling inside neck of tank (tank replaced under warranty)
Clutch cover fell off (replaced under warranty)

None of those problems stopped me riding, and the vast majority were sorted out quickly and easily by my local dealer. I can live with that level of reliability
