    The most boring bike

    This got me thinking from another thread about boring (Corolla and Camry) cars...

    What is the most boring bike you've owned / ridden?
    I know this is an opinion as any bike is more entertaining than any car when you're riding but as far as all of the bikes I've owned it would be my brand-new CG-125 I owned....

    Most boring bike I've owned would be a 1984 Suzuki GSX1100E. It didn't do anything badly, but wasn't all that great either. It just did exactly what was asked of it.

    Most boring bike I've ridden? I was about to say Harley Fatboy, but on reflection it wasn't boring, it was just bloody terrible. So most boring bike I've ridden would have to be the Honda CB350/4. Nice to ride, but nothing out of the ordinary for that period.
    Time to ride

    SV1000, hands down the most boring bike. Sorting out the stupid gearing makes a huge huge difference though... and burning the factory mufflers. Fortunately one is cheap, and the other normally done as it leaves the show room.

    Never had a "boring" bike but I have had one which was just very good at going a long way. Kawasaki GT 750 shaft drive. Lacking ground clearance, performance & brakes, the first & last keeping it from being boring but not stopping me from getting bored riding within it's limitations. The most exciting thing was all the rattling when you started it cold.

    I once owned a CB250 - early 80's version.

    I had to get a communter bike for work. It was so boring I eventually just stopped riding it because I couldn't be arsed getting it out of the shed.

    got a cb250 too. If you give it shit it does quite well in the twisties bottoms out tho lol. Probab;y still more fun then a harley, although kick starts sucks balls.

    I owned a CB250N once also,.....mind you I was 17 at the time and the main goal was to see if I could make it rev to 14,000 rpm on each ride (it redlined at 10,200rpm). .....
