You are silly. Honda has things like the Fury and that other thing.

I was thinking of the 60s when they fueled the motorcycle scene with aggressive ads and the like. I may be off base. The Triumph reincarnate perspective was spot on though

I think a lot of the Honda love is sentimental. The Supercub, the CT70, the CB750, the...... VFR?, the...... NR750  Lol Honda has made some historically great bikes but best manufacturer ever? Hmmm.....

I will say though, that German bikes(eg- BMW etc) are very well made and designed, and usually rack up the highest trouble free mileages of any bikes. But most of the Big Jap touring bikes are also built as good.

actually, Guzzis rack up the most truble-free miles

Guzzi pilots aren't afraid to top off their blinker fluid, whilst most German bike owners start running in circles at the first sign of trouble.

I put aftermarket sealed blinkers on my BMW.
Synthetic blinker fluid is far superior to conventional marmot-based blinker fluid, and lasts the life of the bike.

I voted Triumph.  They have a great lineup with an offering for just about any market, and I love the triple.

I really want to own another triple someday!
