Bikes you absolutely would NOT own. Ever never

[Pixie]

I would never own any bike whose raison d'etre is to attract the ignorant

[Pixie]

No gearbox? Are you mad???? Buy a Honda DN01? then...

I love the way people are attached to the compromises necessary to deal with the inadequacies in IC engines.

[Ratti]

nothing that needed to be kept shiny, not so heavy I cant pick it up, nothing fast. Yeah yeah so Im a nana...dont give a toss. its the way things are.

Bikes are like icecream...a flavour and size for everyone, and damn it they ALL taste good

I'd never own a Ural of any kind

It's ok, when I get one I'll let you have a go whenever you want...

XR1200X

great looking bike and I THOUGHT I wouldn't mind having one

But

they are car magnets

an average of 1 car every 2 kilometers WILL attemp to occupy the same space as an XR1200X


I think the black paint actually increases the density of the bike and attracts cars towards it

seen it wif me own eyes

[P38]

WTF's with them bloody Spiders!

They're so wrong on so many levels.

Not only does it have too many wheels on it but you gotta get on backwards to ride the bloody thing.

Looks like a butt ugly trike only in reverse.

My motto, if ya havent had it, you cant bag it. Those on the "not to own again list " xs650 special, 1200 sportster KDX 175 (kept falling off) and the ones i wish had never parted with XS1.1 & RD350 LC

Never say never to anything.
Everything I have ever said I would never do I have ended up having to do.

By that way I guess i should say I will never have an LC4 or other such KTM Motard....

[nivram]

I think Hyosung holds the crown of crappiness.......but I hear they are improving......

No worse than any other manufacturer, 26,000k on my Hyo and no problems.

[Big Dog]

I don't believe that there is any brand of Bike I wouldn't buy, but I can't ever see me buying a bike where the foot pegs are so far forward that I can't stand vertically on the pegs. I guess that means most cruiser styles are out as are the touring type Hondas and a few others.

Why would you need to stand up on the pillon pegs from a cruiser?

[Big Dog]

I would own any motorcycle.
Under the right circumstances altogether any bike is worthy. Under the wrong any bike is unworthy.
Not a fan of the vespa but would be keen to own one of the ones Jeremey Clarkson failed to stay on.

I lived in Korea for 12 years - I would personally never buy a Hyosung, nor a Chinese clone. But I have nothing against other people buying them - we are all bikers. Honda are bland, Suzuki are functional, Yamahas - I have had a few and they all blew up, Kawasaki are the real deal. Italian are for extending your dicks, American used to be cool but not anymore - look at the clobber they wear for christsake, it's like something out of Playboy. I've presently got a Suzuki - plain reliable. There, I have probably offended everyone, but this just reflects my personal choices.

Vespa - always in the rear mirror eh? When I was like 18 I had a Suzuki GP100C. One day in Southend (UK) a bunch of them started to chase me. I guess they thought I was a rocker riding a real motorcycle. They probably chased me for 2o miles or so because they couldn't catch anything else and - they didn't catch me either. Not overly impressed with Vespa.
