I find most problems are brought on by the owner one way or another. Check out any of the forums that actually give on honest answer on what the end result of the problem was. The exception might be the electronics as they are almost all made in china now and the new style connectors seem to have constant connectivity issues. This includes the 4RT as they have issues that other bikes would never have. Otherwise every time a new model comes along is when the most complaints happen.
Back to the question, no. Most of the bikes in the mid eighties were built better. TY Mono, RTL`s, TR34, Fantics.
