I have had no major issues of any kind in almost 6 years of riding my 2013 F6B...I am upgrading the forks and steering head bearings this next week due to a small part-time leak in the right fork seal which is not leaking anymore since I used the SealMate tool a few weeks ago...Sorry the Fuzz is not happy with his bike and I most likely would be a little upset also...But to say Honda's reputation is "fake" is not fair or correct....I have had over 20 bikes in my riding days, of many different brands, and not ONE of the Honda bikes ever went back to the dealer for any reason....Just my personal opinion, I am most likely done riding as I approach 80 years of age soon, but I would not buy any other brand but Honda.....Regards
