All completely true.

My personal ownnership experience reliability has been best with Kawasakis - but I've owned more of those than the other Japanese makes, so it's hardly objective.

As for worst, Yamaha by a long way, but with same proviso as above, I've not owned of many them so my experince of them may not be truly representative.
