Italian cars and motorcycles made today unfairly suffer from actual poor experiences that owners had in the 60's, 70's, 80's. Somehow, the reputation of years past has bled over to today, though mostly I hear it from people who've not owned a modern Italian car or motorcycle.
Friends that I have with BMW S1000R's have had more issues with their bikes than my friends with MV Agusta, Ducati, Bimota and Moto Guzzi. Now Aprilia is a bit of a different story.

I'm on total here say on this, I have no experience one way or the other. But the thing I can comment on is that in traffic you notice the Italians, Germans just blend in. Your garage must be heaven for petrol heads. =)
