Ive never had to use zip ties on my new bike other than to keep wires or hoses in place. However, my first camaro was a 81 Z28 and I kept a roll of duct tape in the trunk and I had 3 full bags of zip ties in there, (three diffrent sizes) and there were times I wouldn't have made it home with out them.

The only zip ties on my bike are holding a few wires down.

My current bike's tail fairings are pretty well ziptied onto the bike on account of the tabs that are SUPPOSED to keep em there breakin off. fuck it, they work, and I'm good with that.

no duct tape, penty of electrical though holding various things in their places.

Mine was for a while since I lost a bolt. I just replaced when I hacked my fender off after having it zip tied for about a year.
