    Not exactly following good practice with the camshaft caps but an interesting video that's put me right off even considering one of these

    Aprilias have always made me wary. Same with KTMs.

    I'm too spoiled and boring I guess.

    I've been watching that channel recently as well. The guy is very good at identifying the source of all the components which makes for interesting viewing. I learnt that the S1000RR BMW uses a Chinese crankshaft and Japanese shell bearings; I had always assumed for that model all would be the best of German tech. He is also demystifying the insides of many of the Chinese brands as well.
