Are people just kidding when they say the Bajaj CT100B is a really reliable bike?

The Bajaj CT100B has a reputation as a workhorse motorcycle with some owners claiming to have run up incredibly high mileage with very few problems. There are also stories of persistent problems and breakdowns, however. That has led to debates as to whether the CT100B’s reliability is overhyped or if it really is as reliable as it’s made out to be. And lastly, individual experiences may be affected by factors like maintenance habits, riding conditions, and or manufacturing variations. For some, its simplicity is an easy reason to fix, for others, the same simplicity causes more problems. The additional dimension to this reliability question in rural areas and/or on the budget conscious rider's bike is that it often operates in harsh conditions and, in some cases, not under perfect maintenance.
