Honda cars and motorbikes have in my experience been the most reliable
methods of transport I have ever owned,

Your experience may be different.

I have had an Izy for the last 3 years and it has been fine, despite any
semblance of TLC, provided I remember that if I am going to leave it
unused for more than 4 weeks to turn off the petrol and run until it
stops (helps to prevent the carb jets becoming blocked.
