we all mustve had bad bike situations. what do you consider the worst bike youve come across. unreliable, dangerous, bad handling, all that. just wondering. mine was cr 250 honda elsinore. just impossible to start sometimes. broke my maters ankle, nearly mine also. yes, it was tuned properly. ended up throwing it in corner of my shed, never ever went near it again. someone bought it. another mate bought xs750 yamaha, that was bad.

Got my license on it 3 days after turning 15. Kawasaki F11 250 trail bike. Some days it started.......some days it just didn't. Had a lot of fun on it as a young bloke. Got a bulldog clip full of tickets on it too.
Another great day on the right side of the grass.😎

Not sure between my old Kawasaki z900 and my GT750A

- Handling was bad on the early z900's so much so that a gusset kit which could be welded on was made available. - that sorted it quite a bit!
- On my GT750A the swing arm bushes were bakerlite as standard, and I used to go through those like nobody's business. Fitted a Dave Degens bracked swing arm with sintered bronze bushes which sorted it once and for all

Nothing to do.............all day to do it....I love retirement :lol:

T 24

Husqvarna CR 490 -84. I liked it a lot when it worked, but it was dangerous. Power without brakes and suspension.

BMW K1200RS (second generation) '03 in grey in red.

Great in the straight.. the worse i ever had in the corners... would eat tires very quick.
Only in walking pace I could get it through hairpins  :facepalm:
Also the the servo assisted brakes ( yes.. power brakes on a motorcycle ) did take to time to get used to it.

That was the worse of my list:

Kawasaki Z400J3 1st bike
Suzuki GSX750ET 2nd bike
Then it goes blurry  :tongue:
Suzuki GSX1100ESD
