What's your Euro-Jap ratio?

**Jasper** · 16-11-19, 17:08

2 x Jap
1 x Spaniard
1 x Italian

**ogri** · 16-11-19, 17:24

3 triumphs since 2007 and fek knows how many nippon bikes dating back to 1977

**Julian_Boolean** · 16-11-19, 18:28

Loads of Japanese, 1 x KTM, 1 x Husqvarna, neither we're as good as a Japanese bike

Really? A "Gold Star" 250 with high level exhaust and oil in frame? One of them was my first real bike, and I've still got most of it!

Possibly a couple I have forgotten

That would be a couple of MZ's. Very forgettable.

18 Japanese mostly Kawasaki (only 1 Honda, a C110 that never made it onto the road)
5 British - still have my Bantam from when I was 17 but it did 15 years at the back of a leaky shed so its in a state

Reliability wise, which of your selections were the best? For me, Jap bikes everytime.

None of my bikes have broken down.
Ok so the Triumph had one piece of warranty work done (failed led) aside from that nowt. Oh, the alarm screwed up on it too but that's datatool not triumph.

**KungFooBob** · 17-11-19, 19:10

The only bike I've ever had breakdown was a Suzuki.

RG250, it was probably 15 years old at the time and unloved by a previous owner, I bought it for £150... I seized it solid at 90mph in the fast lane of the M18.

**whysub** · 17-11-19, 19:48

Currently have a Guzzi, 2 KTM's, a Ducati, an Aprilia, a Cagiva, a Monet Goyon and a Royal Enfield.

Nope, not one Japanese bike owned now, but I have had dozens over the years. My current position isnt a conscious one, it's just how things have worked out.
