dude kawasaki has so many recalls that it makes me not want to even bother looking into buying one anymore.

I think they have the most out of everyone.

All bikes have problems - I'm happy to see Kawi doing something about them. The R/R on Triumph's 675 models is known to be absolute garbage and they cause problems for a significant portion of owners, but Triumph has refused to do anything since 2006.
