They're not as bullet proof. Had plenty of bikes, before my legs got old. Some are easy, some not at all. Liked the big heavy cruisers, pref for Japanese. The overall 'best' car today is probably Toyota, but Honda's are very reliable too (NOT sure about accessing the bits these days however). KINDA in the market for another car - never buy new, always "tested". Maybe a simple Corolla. A couple of Subaru's look OK but tend to get a more premium price. Frankly NOT hot on 'smart' cars at all. I'd love a '69 Falcon with the 200 six ... had one long long ago. Super-simple, a tank, you could kinda literally climb into the hood to get at the parts, adequate performance, didn't report your every move to the company. Could maybe add a little selected 'smartness' with a PI ....
