Joe,
I wasn't saying that the Honda was reliable at all. I was asking the question not giving the answer. That reference was for someone with experience to answer the question, not you. I was just stateing that you've never seen the inside of your motor so I was wondering how good of mechanical and technical skills and expertise you could really give. It must be hard to live every day life seeing everything the wrong way, it must be like your working twice as hard and going backwards the harder you work. Maybe thats why you have such negeative undertones in things you say.
Also the BSA was always reliable under 8000, it just specifically asked me to run it above 9000, but don't worry you'll get to run against it again.
