Well thank fuck you have the depth of experience to make a make a generalisation like this. Make a comment about the build quality of my Suzukis in my earshot and see how far you get.......

What model Suzuki(s) did you own that had poor build quality, and can you be specific about what exactly was wrong with them?

It's a well known fact that Suzukis have suffered poor build quality for quite a while now. My GSXR600 has just about every second nut and bolt rounded off, the switches feel cheap, the paint is quite thin and chips easily, the swingarm markings are terrible, and the whole bike feels badly made compared to my previous Honda which was 10 years older than the Suzuki. The Suzuki is a lot of fun to ride though and handles great. The Suzuki is a great bike, but it's a shame that it's let down by cheap Chinese fittings. Oh, and I own 2 bikes. Both of which are Suzuki so you can hardly call me biased.Well thank fuck you have the depth of experience to make a make a generalisation like this.

Stand next to a 15 year old Suzuki and a 15 year old Honda. Note the differences.

GSXR600 SRAD. Read my post above this one.
You're nuthin
Shut up he's had both a mid 90s gxr250 AND a mid 90s cbr250 - so he is an authority on BOTH suzuki and honda you ignoramusWell thank fuck you have the depth of experience to make a make a generalisation like this.

Shhh. Logical fallacies are bad karma.
I don't think that's ubiquitous. My 2007 GSX1400 was pretty solid.
You may have just struck one from a bad patch. I had an SRAD 750, but there wasn't much stock about it by the time I got it, so I can't really comment on the cosmetics. Motor was strong as, though.
There are some pretty shitty 15-year-old Hondas out there man. And some pretty mint SRADs.

Mechanically they're great bikes, very successful on race tracks as well. It's just a shame that such a great bike is let down by little things for the sake of saving a few $. None of those things affect the way the bike rides, but it's a bit of a pain having to remove and replace rounded off nuts and bolts when I service the bike and having dodgy markings for when I adjust the chain tension.
I've never had any of those issues with a Honda.

So, how do you feel about Buell support in NZ?

I'd totally race an 1125CR in BEARS if someone sponsored me onto it...

I've got a mate with one and he has no complaints.

I've never owned a Honda, on account of Honda only ever making one road bike that wasn't mind-numbingly boring, so I can't comment.
