Post the 'chocolate-cammed' VF series, Honda have been magnificently reliable. In fairness, a great deal of their earlier bikes are bombproof too. The quality of finish on the top of the range bikes is legendarily exquisite, though the paintwork has suffered a bit post 98(ish) in some markets as they've had to change the paint for environmental reasons.
Speaking of reliable....my K5 GSXR1000 just passed 43k and still has perfect 190psi comp on all 4 cylinders and rides like a new bike. It has not been well looked after. :)
Japan has produced some exceptionally engineered bits of kit in the last 20yrs - still unmatched anywhere in the world I reckon.
