So where would you draw the line? Putting your own oil in and air in when you collect the bike? Checking all the nuts and bolts to find the ones they've missed? Rewiring it? Replacing the "Hand Grenade" alternator with a car bit you buy on E-bay? Throwing the whole thing away and buying a new one because they missed a bit out of the engine (but they all do that Sir)?
If we buy this crap and fix it ourselves, they'll just sell even crappier stuff next year

All good points but after some 50 machines I have yet to own a bike I didn't manage to fix something on eventually. Sure I'd like the cush rubbers to be better made but if that's the only major flaw in the bike (airbox drain tube slowly fills with oil, oil changes are a pain... I know), the replacements aren't any better than the original and it's easily fixed I'll live with it.
