Ok, what's the worst bike you have ever ridden and why?

Others you have found to be disappointing?

Buell Firebolt. It's the first motorcycle I've ever brought back early from a demo just to give it back....

MV Augusta F4 1000 - it had some incredible flat spots in the power band. Not as awesome as I expected it to be.

CR80.

I thought riding a 2stroke kids bike was a good idea at the time(of being a young adult). Turns out, it sucks.

There are some standouts...

Like the new VMax- awesome torque, but zero modulation. Great if you want to leave a smoking black stripe at the intersection, and nothing else.

Whatever little Zook supermoto- no likey grenades between my legs.

I wouldn't call it a "worst" but the FZ6 was a disappointment. *yawn*

Ninja 250. Sounded like a sewing machine and went about as fast.

gz250 i wasnt expecting much and it still failed to deliver. Maybe if it didnt have the cruiser bars.

Katana 600. owner neglects the fuck outta it and the design is terrible to me. alternately, I dont know whether to say the 92 EX500 I had, or the new 250.

The 500 I was working on CONSTANTLY,
The 250, handles great, even at low speeds, BUT it just felt gutless and behaved like a sewing machine pretty much.

I haven't found one that I absolutely hate, but I haven't ridden very many either.

tached1000rr · 10-12-2009, 08:27 PM

For me, the Hondamatic 750, at least there is a clutch on a Ninja 250

I can enjoy anything with two wheels and an engine... I can't think of any bike I ever hated, but I'd say my least favorite was the nastly little pit bike I shattered my kneecap riding (or more accurately falling off of).
