Why was the G450 considered to be so bad?

Its no secret these bikes wasn't popular.

I bought one 6 years ago. During that time Dwerg had his one in the Kaokoland which didnt want to start. I could believe that was a dealbreaker of note.

Shortly after that, mine had the same issues. Some days it would start, but, when hot it would drop you all of the sudden. Nobody, like nobody wanted to work on it. I took it eventually to Alfred Warrick, it stood there and he couldnt find the problem, as it started when it was in CT.

The fact that it didnt had a kicker didn't help either. Riding on the farm, getting dropped 15km from home wasn't fun.

I bought a new battery, and the problem was solved to this day.

Its 6 years with me now, and it didnt give me a headache of a day since then.

So, why do everybody else have a grudge with a 450? I would like to hear your experience, not YouTube's

Thank you
