Not that I'm aware of. There are a couple of Korean and Chinese brands sold in the US, Hyosong, Kymco etc., that you might be thinking of.

1st place goes to Honda (easily)
2nd goes to Yamaha
3rd is Suzuki
4th is Kawasaki

Honda have been known for their build quality and reliability for many years but over the past couple of years Yamaha have upped their game and seem to be very close behind Honda. Suzuki have reputation for having almost bullet proof engines but lack in build quality in comparison to Honda and Yamaha. Kawasakis come way down on my list, they just seen to have annoying rattles after a few years use and have really clunky gearboxes.

Just my own personal opinion
