I'm 20y+ removed from my motorcycles. The limited/no warranty has always been the case but it was always my impression that the bikes worked well and "manufacturer defects" that required warranty were rare (I'm aware of the Honda 750 Interceptor debacle...). And it seemed fair that the shop/manufacturer shouldnt be on the hook if you cartwheeled your 250lb, 50hp dirt toy off into oblivion.
I'll spend money on a nice bike but I am really looking for some longevity in the next one I buy, similar to the G1 comments above.
$13K+ for a half developed, unreliable, hard to get parts ebike has zero appeal.
