I found team-bhp thread on Google news about someone's bad experience with Honda H'ness bike. Person bought high end Honda bike, but it had lots of issue like oil leakage and engine noise. Later in that thread many members started posting their bad experience with Honda bikes. Common comment was that Honda is taking Indian customer for granted and providing bikes with inferior components in Indian markets (might be to lower price?).

But I wonder if Honda is also not reliable any more, then which is reliable bike brand in India
Similar poor experiences are posted (on team-bhp) for Yamaha and Suzuki brands. People have negative impression about Indian brands as well like Bajaj and Hero. So which is really reliable bike brand in India?
