In fairness I'm just about to switch over to my 5th 1100s and they have a put up with a very hard life with very few problems. The only time I didn't get home was when a busted gearbox selector part left me in neutral. Last one I sold had 121k miles on it. This one has 89k and still going string but it got stolen last year and they did a fair bit of damage to the engine and gearbox bell housing by exploding (literally) the clutch. The next one is on 28k and I got it cheap due to the abs fault.
Never had a problem with the batteries and cranking but I have had a starter come apart. Still got home though.
I've had many Jap bikes and whilst I did enjoy them I won't be going back. Nothing Japan built has ever put up with my daily grind of continual stop start and filtering in all weather's like these tractorbikes do.
