I'll start this off. My worst was a D reg Honda CBX250 single back in 1993. I had to sell my big GPz coz I was skint and was given this bike solong asI made the last 3 repayments on it. It was slow, gutless, slow, uncomfortable and slow. Replaced it with my gsxr400 after i made the last repayment.

The worst bike i ever had was ironically the best aswell.It was a J plate ZXR 400 it was my first bike and was itching to buy the loudest and fastest thing i saw,hence buying it for £1900 then spending £100 on a back tyre which was squared off more than frankenstein's head!! then had to buy a full system which cost me £360 for a micron then a new battery,chain & sprockets,front pads,service,then had a prob with it starting,took me 3 months to find out that the alternator had 2 tiny cracks in the moulding of it which caused it to blow the regulator rectifier (3 times) then once i sorted all that out i blasted it down the motorway and proceeded to melt the motor!!!! Sorry forgot to mention that a coroner pulled out on me too but only caused slight bruising to my leg!!!! this cost me shit loads of time and money but was my first bike so i still loved it after all the grief!!!

the worst bike I ever owned was a vespa et4 that i used to get around the farm - it had a little aluminuim cog that slipped on the crankshaft for the starter - the teeth on the crank kept eating the teeth on the cog forcing me to use the kickstart which was only meant as a tempory alternative - I don't know if any of you lot have tried to kick over one of these et4s but it broke the sole of my caterpillar boot - this bike cost me a small fortune and in the end it was set on fire - for sure it was cursed - i have never been so unlucky with any other bike i have owned.

mmm....toughy that cos i've had a few mingers...oi yas bastids i was talking about bikes. GPZ900 has to go down as the foulest piece of crap i've ever ridden/owned/cursed. Honda Revere bought in a moment of madness cos it was soooo sensible and ultimately exeedingly dull. I'd like to say the Harley evo i had was the foulest but on reflection at least i sold it without loosing an arm and a leg. One of the best bikes i've ever had was a Honda Step-thru (C-90) which cost feck all to run never broke down, sadly a pay-rise and putting up with all the crap from me m8's the step-thru had to go ...ahhhhh me 350lc...that was the nads

i thought of another old nail i used to have many years ago a cz250 twin ....... now that was a heap of crap couldnt even break the speed limit on it and that combination kickstart/gearlever wtf was that all about.
i also had several superdreams and they were rubbish but strangely sold well after i had abused them i had a z44o ltd as well ............. am starting to think all my bikes were crap come to think of it. cept my lovely xs650 with straight through dragpipes and my halco 840, oh and the gsx1100 et thats in my shed . the rest of em were crap.

rode an aprilla 650 darke super moto for my direct access. I would have had a totally clean test ride if the heap of poo stayed in gear. I wound up with one minor fault , ie not moving off smoothly from a standstill. The bloody thing popped out of gear as i moved out of a junction. I would consider buying one if I had the money just to have the satisfaction of torching the sod. this is truly the fruit of a very sick mind ,I hate them to the point of distraction. Sad I know ,but that's just the way it is

got to give the honda 90 its due though they are reliable.
a mate of mine had one when young and him an a couple of his mates were determined to blow the engine up. they drained the oil and replaced it with washing up liquid. they then ran it for a few days thrashing it up and down some lanes at the top of the village. it didnt blow up tho so.... they drained the sump again and filled it with coke and repeated the thrashing of the machine to no avail. next they ran it with a sump full of water still no problems and finally with nothing at all still couldnt get it to blow.
it was layed up for a few years until he needed some transport to get him to work, fresh oil in and petrol and it ran fine
