i've heard the opposite.

ktm's are generally more maintenance, they have tighter specs, higher compression engines and just need more maintenance to keep in tip top shape.

so i guess the reliability issue comes down to whether or not the person services the bike the way it should be.

that new supermoto i just got, requires a valve check/adjustment after 10 hours of use, or after every race.

no other Japanese bike will be able to touch that thing stock vs stock.
