Every manufacturer bar none has faults, it's impossible to test for everything, too many recalls not a good sign, but mostly a recall is just doing the right thing and admitting to it.

A mates bike has been off the road since 12th December 13. Apparently the cam followers are made of a sort of toffee and dissolve in oil. Repair is under warranty but the dealer has not even offed him a loan bike while his is off the road. He is having to beg / borrow a car from a friend of his dad to get by.
I would have just hired a bike and taken the dealer to court to get the money back.
I did offer him a loan bike to help out but he recons that his bike will be returned soon. The offer stands. I think the dealer is taking the piss. Shame on them.
Won't be spending any money with them in the future.
