Favourite jap bike brand.

**naphazoline** · 5th July 2009, 11:16

Heard a conversation the other day,about which brand is best.

Personally,i think that's bullshit.

All bikes have their good and bad models,but i thought it would be interesting to run a poll and see what the outcome is.

You are seeking facts in a KB poll ????

As far as dirt bikes are concerned I'm a Yamaha man.

road bikes....meh.

I don't have a favourite - but facts-wise - Some months Suzuki have sold more units than the others combined.

Always been a pretty staunch Yamaha guy but each to their own, I also have a soft spot for Kawasaki's too, just as well I guess since I bought my first non-yamaha just before xmas last year, can highly recommend ZX14's.

Bottom line is if you're a decent person it does'nt matter what you ride but if you're a wanker/bitch then you're just a wanker/bitch the rides a bike.

They do seem to be able to do some VERY competitive pricing.
I'm not sure why?

I think it comes down to personal choice.
I have always liked the italian machines myself.

I voted Honda as I own one. I have absolutely no facts to support my vote (that's the KB way of course) and actually believe it makes f-all difference which one of the big 4's bike you purchase - they are all bloody good.

Suzuki does have every good pricing and Honda has just stuffed there's up in comparison, so monthly sales probably mean shit with respect to actual quality of the brand.

Only a theory - no facts - You know how some printer manufacturers discount the printer and make their money on the ink cartridges?

Yamaha takes more risks than other Jap brands with new models IMO.
There are a lot of copies from the others of their models from what I see.
Suzuki only make lots of sales cause they are chep, and they make cars
Honda is that big red trobbing thing, and they also make cars
Kawasaki try really hard, and have a few successes
so whats left?
I like playing my keyboard.
