@2Wheelz :
You may be correct in your opinion, and you're certainly entitled to it. And I've never even owned a Duc.
The flip side of this -- and I also read a LOT of the comments to that video -- is that a lot of manufacturers were dissed by a lot of its viewers, from H-D on up. Another flip side is that the MotoMillion folks seemed to have disregarded break-in procedures and otherwise voided the warranty. It's one thing to assert that the engine failure wasn't related to anything they did, but it certainly clouds the issue ... and certainly gives BMW an easy out; I suspect that most other manufacturers would also take that easy out.
Now, from personal experience here:
1) I've purchased, from brand new, and kept through their respective warranty periods, bikes from BMW, Honda, Suzuki, Victory, and Royal Enfield (well, I'm still under warranty on that one).
2) I've had minor warranty issues addressed and resolved on many of them, without incident. But the only bike I had a major failure with was my '22 C 400 GT ... and BMW replaced the bike for me, free, with a brand new '23 C 400 GT.
Oh, sure, it took four or five months (depending on when you start the clock: at failure time, or after the service department's van picked up the scoot), which was frustrating, and it took a fair amount of nagging on my part, both at the local and corporate levels. But it got done, i.e., they came through.
You can read the events and their timeline in this post of mine from last October. I made it agonizingly long as a mechanism to help readers get into the proper mood:
Today, My Used 2022 C 400 GT Was Replaced By BMW With A Brand New 2023 C 400 GT. Free. What's In Your Warranty? If those statements pique your curiosity, and you have some free time, here's the tale, in chronological order. Note that it starts LAST year, almost a year and a half ago. [Note...

And, no, I didn't mess with the engine, drivetrain, anything that makes it go. And, yes, I strictly adhered to the stipulated break-in procedures. (In fact, I just finished those same procedures -- do lots of hills, no constant speeds, keep it under 7,000 RPM until 621 miles -- on that replacement C 400 GT in the middle of a ride last Thursday.) And both bikes had their initial service performed by the local BMW dealership, and that first scoot had its first routine service also performed at the dealership.
My experience -- a sample size of, um, one -- may not be statistically significant, but it's all I've got to go on so far.
