Royal Enfield Bullet 2010: Electric start failed, kickstart failed, wiring failed, choke system failed so engine coked up, valve ripped out of tyre, drive chain failed prematurely all in 10,000 miles!
That's them superior engineers they got ova thar in England graduating from Oxford and other nonsense Universities that do not teach QUALITY CONTROL MEASURES in builds. I learned about the Shiiiiiiitty English products from 3 friends while in the Navy. 1 owned an MG-B Midget (fukkin hunk oh crap), 1 owned a Triumph bonneville that at 3,000 miles was burning oil in 1 of the 2 cylinders. Some more of that Great English made crap, and 1 owned a TR8 Triumph car. All giant sized poorly engineered shitboxes. Never had the urge to EVER buy an English made POS Vehicle cause if I remember correctly we fought 2 wars for our Independence from this country. Today the best made and cheapest to own Vehicles are the Totyota and Honda, and American Made vehicles are not even in the top 5.
i've had two 1980 ironhead sportsters....one almost new in 1980 and an old one for the last 12 years.....reliable and semi bulletproof from my experience.....
What a lot of shite, electrical interference causing injector failure, rear cylinder overheating because of its location on a v twin with water cooling. I stopped watching after I heard this crap.
The work around for failing early sportster starters was to install a vw bug starter motor. The vw starters did not last a longer then the harley ones but they were cheaper and more availiable.
The horrible woes of "modern technology" and computer-managed (read computer-buggered) vehicles. I opt for a bone-stock basic 60s or 70s no-headaches classic to go the route.
WTF is a "weeber" carb?.....sorry, worked on.things with engines for about 50 years never heard of that brand...... Bad AI= automatic Dislike + no subscribe. Get a human narrator..... Spend the $100 bucks...
They were awful, at least in the early '70s. My first bike was a 1970 BSA 650. It didn't even have an oil filter and each oil change revealed chunks of metal at the bottom of the crankcase. Three motors lasting about 5,000 miles and I gave up. Bought a R/75 BMW which went over 150,000 miles before a rebuild.
You are talking some mad BS. i got a 535 virago and that thing is solid as a brick. You didn´t do your Homework and it shows: the bike was not in produktion yet during the date shown in this video. The regulator/rectifier is not near the rear cylinder, but behind the kickstand, at leat on my model. I had to fix numeros small things on the bike, but never something serious and all of these minor problems can be atribiuted to the bikes age of 32 and not a lack of produktion Quality.
Shows a picture of a Honda being the least reliable? Give me your drug dealers phone number. It must be some good stuff.
Why did you put a Honda in the thumbnail ?! 😮
Clickbait perhaps?

Your American ignorance is showing - Royal Enfield is an Indian manufacturer, and has been for decades. I know it's difficult, but try to keep up....

So why use a Honda as a thumbnail when it’s not even mentioned?

Hi other Honda fanboys ;) whahahaaaaaa
fortunately, I returned to motorcycling when most problems were weeded out.

These were all the product of trying to do far too much with inadequate R&D budgets, which was also pretty much the default Norton failing.
Another A.I. bubblehead video.
