[@draganmilosevic8583]

Had one Gold Wing 1800 '06. Incredible engine. 200000 km pice of cake.

[@SirMountainpass]

Adding the Yamaha CP3 to the list 😎🔥💯

[@drumsybatabamboom8022]

I'll add BMW airheads.

[@daryldaryl913]

Air heads are in the first half of video

[@LowenKM]

​​@@daryldaryl913The GS 1250 isn't an airhead and is known as an oilhead engine. They came along later, replacing the original airhead design that first made them famous for longevity.

An annoying popular term is "yes its reliable providing you look after it".... Well an f1 engine is reliable if you rebuild it every race. My idea of reliability is when a motor runs and runs regardless of how its looked after...within reason. Remember how reliable Triggers broom was 🤔🤔

[@adamdelarozza1985]

CMX250C twin; stock on the old Honda Rebels, will run forever!

[@gringolopez8116]

Gotta ask the question, how do you determine the longevity and reliability of a motor that realistically is, in the main, no more than 10-15 years old, and most of these are actually quite recent.

[@manuelstapp3359]

I'll add bmw flying brick k75

[@RenghisKhan]

Thank you. That thing is as reliable as a brick. Unless you hit it with a hammer it will keep performing.

[@manuelstapp3359]

I sold my k75c this weekend....talked to a customer of mine I seen in Walmart...ask him how did you loose your foot me motorcycle accident...I miss the bike one thing I enjoyed was the quick starting of bike and the sound of the engine it made idling....but I did ride it hard ...it was wise to let it go...the man that bought it paid asking price after riding it...and seemed happy to own it ....great bike

CRF has a life of very little because of the use it gets, rebuild every year . Most of these bikes have a life of short duration they are mostly just toys for boys.

[@michaellombardo7312]

Moto Guzzis, they are so understressed.

[@davidmacgregor5193]

My mates 1976 Moto Guzzi T3 has covered 370,000 trouble free miles.

[@robertradizlovic8575]

Rotax 800 from BMW F800 series, there are many with 600.000, 700.000, 800.000 and more km

[@davidfalgout7304]

BRAVO SIERRA !

[@cemdrahsan270]

Where is the KLR650 engine?

[@markewing10]

I think Kawasaki never fixed the doohickey problem, correct?

[@speeddemon9555]

BMW, Ducati, Harley, you can't keep the out of the workshops.

[@mattyb7736]

Don't forget KTM

[@speeddemon9555]

@@mattyb7736 right, and BMW too.

[@AGRIV8TD1963]

Who are you to determine this!?!?

[@rossiau]

MT-07 engine is lovely ... but ... too much is saved everywhere else. No point in a dead frame with a good engine.

[@paulmetz4546]

Suzuki 650 V2?

[@andynogood]

Yamaha SR 500

[@collyernicholasjohn]

And the SR 250, Roller bearings both ends of the cam ( SR400/500 plain bronze).

[@ParkerDorsett]

You didn't include the 111 from Indian.

[@antondahl8945]

Milwaukee 8? Naaah lots of problems

[@peterwilliams1004]

KTM?

[@gsxrkz]

K8 gsxr1000

[@tonywilson183]

I don't ride chook chasers

[@JohnDoe-kq1ge]

Ducatis were always nothing but beautiful overpriced junk.And they still are

[@adrianp7475]

honda dealer

[@j.bin_genex1927]

none of these. Long life engine should be some torque ones like goldwing. rocket3.

[@keithpeacock3220]

Yamaha road star

[@Ian-bq7gp]

The Triumph 765cc street triple is much the same as a tiger 800 which just shows how durable and over engineered the crankshaft is. The 800 is around 40 bhp less and they can go on for over 150000 miles. In my opinion these late triumph triples and also big thunderbird 1600 are my favourite engines. Im a BSA fan and didnt like triumph frames . Its sad BSA went bust in the early 1970s because their handling, styling wasgreat and the racing rocket 3 triple of 750cc was a world beater but fragile.

[@stevefavia]

Yamaha Vmax engine!
