True. I had a couple of 650 Triumphs and a BSA Lightning in the 70's, and, after turning up my nose at the Japanese bikes for so long, I finally got a Yamaha clone like my buddy's because, unlike the Brit bikes, they didn't leak oil everywhere and didn't have Lucas electrics. No question about it, the Yamaha was superior in every way save for snob appeal.
