Would that be European standards as in Ducati?

I'd rather they worked towards Japanese standards.

Saying that, have seen the tiddly version of the SV 650 (can't think what it's called) and that lookes failry solid

Still not really high enough

As bikers we put up with fasteners furring up and components made of cheese.

I ride my bike all year and although I aint a mad cleaner / polisher I look after my bike a whole load more than my car. One's done 30k and the other 110k - can you guess which one I haven't had to change most of the fasteners on?

Can you imagine the uproar with that sort of quality in the car world.
