My son-in-law's 1986 Honda VFR700FII has 116 miles on the clock and its four carbs have never been touched. The bike still runs great - as long as its voltage regulators continue to function.
My daughter's 1981 BMW R65LS still has the original Bing vacuum carbs and while they do get adjusted during a tuneup, they never have had to had their parts, including their diaphragms, replaced. Her bike's odometer has rolled over at least once. Her bike even has the original wheel bearings, which have never even been greased since they left the factory. And her stock took kit, which has lived under the seat for the past 40 years, not only has sufficient tools to perform all major servicing, but they still do not have any surface rust on them. BMW really built some great bikes back in the day.
However, I will admit that I have never had any reliability issues with any of my motorcycles with fuel injection systems, although only my BMW R1200RS has a system that works as smoothly as my motorcycles with carburetors, although I did own a 2006 Suzuki SV650 that also used a well designed FI system which seemed to function as well as a carb. Unfortunately, most FI designs and programming seem to be kind of glitchy when just riding around normally, likely due to governments mandating extremely lean fueling to meet emission requirements.
