    Ah, the devil is in the details. Consumer reports makes no designation on “failure”, which leads to the same exact issue with cars. BMW and Harley are down here due to the touring bikes. Remember, in CR world, your radio not connecting to Bluetooth is the same as a drivetrain failure. Electric windshield sticks and you go to the dealer, failure.
    Aside from Triumph (yikes), the rest of these bikes manufactures sell extremely electronic bikes, that tend to fail/work wrong/glitch. Just remember, CR reliability has zero to do with actual reliability (stuck on the side of the road), and is just total incidents requiring a trip to the dealer.

      Not even close. Whereas it may look quite ugly to some (aka: most), it's still a Yamaha and ergo reliable. Other than that, it also has plenty positive riding reviews by several different and unlinked magazines and what not.
      Ugly? Perhaps, taste differs.
      Bad? I wouldn't say that
      Can-Am is both ugly AND bad.

    On my last repair on my 2006 BMW R1200RT, the dealer wanted $4K for a starter/flywheel swap. They created an issue in the process where the bike revved uncontrollably.
    After months of back and forth, I decided to cut my losses and purchased a new Yamaha R3 for $5K. I've had it as my daily driver with over 25K miles and I would not change it for the world!

    I had a seemingly incurable hard-on for Ducati until I owned 2 of them and suffered accordingly. However, I maintain that a Ducati Sport 1000 with Termignoni exhaust is the best sounding bike I have ever heard, and the style points went off the chart. Those along with badge appeal are the (only) attributes I miss. More recently I'm a steadfast supporter of team Suzuki & team Kawasaki. I have no regrets either way.

He is getting this from consumer reports, so maybe we should blame them.
