Seems like there are 2 types of Honda, I had a similar 400 to BlueQuinn, even though it was repairable it became uneconomical because of the labour/complexity of the engineering. Apparently the Goldwing is incredibly reliable, owners getting 200,000 miles from them and the 250cc Foresight engine in the scooters is supposed to be bulletproof.
Surprised to hear that your Fireblade has stood up so well, you must have looked after it. Most of them will have been thrashed and crashed by now. How many miles have you ridden it?
Recent BMW's have had a few problems in recent years, the latest one is the R1200RT. They've all been recalled for a rear suspension problem, owners are advised not to ride them until it's fixed.
