Man up people and confess. What is the most embarrassing or horrible motorcycle you've ever owned. This is mine and I can't remember a single thing about it that was good. Oh, maybe that the indicators worked. It was slow, horrible, handled like a bowl of porridge and as you can see, looked like a collection of biscuit tins welded together. What was I thinking?
Easy the XZ400 was easily the worst POS I have ever owned, The electrics were shite, it didn't have enough grunt to pull the skin of a rice pudding and it handled like it had a hinge in the frame.
nah...even if they were horrible.....theye were bikes........
Smallest bike I ever owned was a Nonda CG110cc little yella I called her.Should have seen teh places that bike took me.Had to sell it to get the next one, an XS400 Special in Black naturally!
2C Benelli was perobably the worst bike I raced, but I have been lucky in the fact it wasn't a bad bike in it's own right (45 races without any real drama's), it;s just the rest of the bikes I have raced have all been much better, magnifying the limited performanc eof teh wee thing!
I've never had an embarrassing bike,I'm a shy retiring type by nature...but sitting on a bike cures all my inhibitions. The most horrible bike would be the Matchless G9 (500cc twin).I rode it home,and the wiring burnt out while I was still sitting on it.There was just one incurable problem after another...and on top of that it was the worst handling bike I've ever owned too.I don't know how,but it was easy to sell (someone asked to buy it) and sold for what I paid for it.
I have had two horrible bikes, both Yamaha.The first was a SR 250, the second a XZ 400, both ended up costing me more than i paid for them, with no change in performance.
TAS TAKA farm bike, 100cc of pure crapola, fell apart almost every ride, all my mates had flash xl100s and ts90s but at least i had a full face helmet to hide my identity on the friday night blat through town.
My A100 bucket ! Whata terrible BOS, I kept getting pulled up that the swingarm bushes and rear wheel bearings were shaged......they wernt ......it was all flex it the pressed steel swingarm and frame, let alone the fork flex (had a RD50 disc front, 24mm forks). It kept thowing the chain while racing the horrible thing , the flex would chuck the chain off, still did it not matter how tight the chain was. The last meeting for it was when the chain came off agian lock the rear wheel, i jumped off it in disgust, the rear wheel unlocked and it went into a concrete barrier I draged the pig home, and took off any thing that was good as parts with the grinder and cut off disc Used the caliper today on my newest bucket
awww come on wolf...the SR250 was cool.........one cyclinder...one carb....what can go wrong!!
No question. MZ ETX 250. Performance had n't been invented and it suffered from severe agrophobia. Not to mention the left foot kick start.

I raced one of those once, CB125 Hondas were pulling from me in a straight line, I gave it up when the exhaust fell off mid race
Cmore, one piston, one carb, one constantly leaking seal, one engine overheating all the time, top speed 95km DOWNHILL. What more could a motorcyclist want?
