I travel 200 km to the town with the amenities like supermarket, etc..- three hours travel, 2 liters of fuel, come back the next day.
Clearly for your purposes a motorbike is more appropriate. Also, 200km in 3 hours equates to almost 70km/h. A bicycle is not designed to take those speeds continuously, let alone a vibrating engine on board. If you continue to use it this way, you are giving the government a very good reason to make them illegal.
I didn't say all alloys frames are going to snap. Also, your frame is not representative of all frames.After 37,000 kilometers on my alloy frame with high specification disk brakes and shift kit - your comments are lacking validity.
Leaking fuel valves, exhaust, tank lid, and carbs, busted woodruff key, severed centrifugal clutch bushing, funny vulnerable CDI, jammed chains; are not operator error, these are design flaws that shouldnt have been an issue in the first place. I think you are clutching at straws here. I only agree on one issue; busted rod bearings are indeed mainly due to people abusing the engines.All the problems you have describe relate more to operator error than manufacturing defects.
