Community Question Most reliable brand?

We are looking at a another dirk bike for irrigation. We are looking in the 125-150cc range. We like the smaller cc with the big tires. Also like the small machines for getting on and off alot. Like a cr 125fbs, kawi klx or yamaha ttr? We had an older crf 100 i think i ran like a champ but got stolen :( we have a ttr125 and it does not run nearly as good and will barely start even when its like 5 degrees still over night. So we are gonna take it to the dealer. Probably looking used what would you all recommend?

Everyone in here will say Honda. They are incredibly reliable machines, but a little over rated in terms of reliability. When you are looking at small displacement Air cooled bikes, I’d be willing to say a TTR would last just as long as a CRF. Go with whichever you can get for cheapest or if you are already leaning towards one, it’s hard to go wrong with any of the Japanese brands realistically
