I don't think the (alleged) unreliability of the V twin version is anything to do with its 1920 design, as it was created as a new vehicle from the floor up. When you read the article posted by Duncan it appears that most of the problems (which to be fair have been or can be fixed) are down to engineering issues and vibration problems caused by the huge V twin Harley Davidson style engine shaking the thing to bits. However, some of the issues should have been ironed out during development & pre-production.
OK, it's not a Golf, but when you part with a substantial sum of your hard earned dosh for what you expect to be a decent product, it must be disheartening when the damn thing falls apart after only a few outings and then needs thousands spending on it to put it right. I hope they've learned from the experience of the M3W and things are better with the new one. I just think that aesthetically, it's not that pretty.
