The GL1000 should be number 1. Those engines would easily go well over 100, 000 trouble free miles. Great bikes on this list, but the GoldWing was the top choice of tourers for a reason. That engine was extremely reliable, smooth, and durable.

I had a Honda 350 back in the 70’s.I bought it after riding a friends bike in México.I rode it for a couple of years and got rid of it after getting sideswiped by a car.I was just starting a family and did not want to leave my wife a widow.Had fun with it though.

XS650 better than any other parallel twin

Back in the early 2000s the Suzuki GT750 was my daily rider for almost 5 years

[chriswalford]

My GT380 had a missing water cooling system

Alle bikes in einem optischen Topzustand, danke.

ive owned a Honda CB750/4 and a Yam XS1100, both of which I regret selling

[daverees]

Kawasali triples were not reliable, it is a TS185, not TS one hundred and eighty five. You talk of Kawasaki H1 but show a KH500. Where is the Suzuki gs550 and 750, they are more reliable than most of the bike you show.

I owned a 74 XS 650 and a 72 Z1. Both bikess were fantastic. A XS 650 could keep up with a Z1 up to about 80mph.

A z1 is a 1000 cc the Z9 is the 900 as shown in the video need to do your home work if you're going to put videos out like this😊

Nice job, a mish mash of incorrect photographs to go along with the narration to keep the viewer totally confused.

[bradbeall]

Nope. I’ve had exhaust valves stick open on Honda CB450 engines, caused by the weak “hairpin” valve springs. I won’t own another. Trying to get any multi-cylinder 2-stroke bike to run correctly is an exercise in frustration. When you finally get one plug firing correctly, it throws off the other cylinder(s), and a simple tune-up will be an all-day job.

Wenn aus dem Auspuff eine blaue Wolke kommt möchte ich nicht hinter dem Stuhl her fahren müssen.

[BLASENLAURAMUSIC]

Rd350 …. Reliable….
Nice to see old bikes but about as accurate opinions in the narrative as Wiley coyote on ketamine ….

What a rubish selection, unreliable 2 strokes, and no Suzuki gs750, xs650s are not that reliable either, do better research.
