It is a lot to do with how they are looked after but worst for build quality was Yamaha (XZ550 1981), Suzuki (GS500 1991) and Kawa (ER5 1996) best was Suzuki (GSX750F 1989 & 1991) and kawa (GPZ550 1989) so it more seems more related to price when new i.e has it been built down to a low price. None of these ever broke down on me (well, the XZ550 only once). I personally like Suzuki & Honda based on past experience. The SV is much better than the ER5 bty.
