Harsh, but true.
In the tear down you see the cam chain. Then suddenly it has a gear driven cam, with the wear on the gears meticulously being measured.
I admit I stopped watching at that point. Not to mention the narrator sounds like that Zeiss CEO.

That was an impressive run. Yes, little too much fluff throw in between facts.
But a bunch of different riders beat it 30,000 mile. And then tore it completely down.
Little damage on the rear piston.
Compression was to spec and it didn't use any oil between normal maintenance.
Nearly ever item was in manufacturing tolerances and they rebuilt it with all the original parts.
The conclusion was it was rated number one in there test. A Triumph didn't even make it testing it in the same way
If you can't watch the video, why bitch?
