We were discussing various brands of bikes and a friend on another forum found this great article about the joys ( or not ) of owning an "exotic" motorcycle (in this case, a Husqvarna).

WOW - all I can say is that I am going to keep this article on-file just in case I ever have an urge to buy a HusDucUzziKTMRilia. In fact, if I ever mention doing that (i.e. buying an exotic) - perhaps one of you American chaps would be good enough to come up here and shoot me - to preserve what is left of my family fortune for my offspring. What a tale of woe - and really bad customer care on the part of Husqvarna USA and the stealership where the poor guy bought that PoS. What is more amazing is that Husqvarna and BMW (who reportedly built the engine of the bike in the story) are both very fine engineering firms with a century or more of excellent products in their past.
If this article doesn't drive you into the arms of HonYamKawiZuki, I don't know what would.
