Well with a thread with almost 2000 posts would be a start. I really like this site because people will give you the straightforward scoop on problems with their bikes, then other people with the given information can make a rational decision on their buying or not buying a new bike. What takes away from this is people taking a problematical model personally. If you own one, and have no problems, well good for you, it should be problem free. If you pay 30k for a bike it shouldnt speed a lot time in the shop.

I agree I love that folks are straight forward and upfront with issues that they have encountered. And that owners or potential owners of a model can use this information to their benefit. But unfortunately some of those very same folks don't actually read all the posts, or threads available on a particular topic, therefor we should do our best to be as accurate as possible to not lead them astray.

What would people do without forums to post about every little problem in their life. Hey Jonnie try reading the "How many miles on your M8" with no problems, over 7,000 replies, so much for your theory on "MOST" are having problems, I've got over 50K on my 17 RG & mine has never been off the dipstick & I go 20K between changes. Half the people complaining don't even have a M8, where's your's?
