1980 HD FLH1200. The last year of the 74 cu. in. shovelhead engine. That bike was a piece of crap. Ignition module failed, electronic voltage regulator failed. I hit a deer at 55 mph, went down and rashed up both sides of the bike. The bike accelerated like a lorry and stopped like a train. Eventually, it developed brake squeal like a train, an auditory reminder of its substandard stoppers. By 4000 miles, it had been into the shop 3 times under warranty repair and once for the deer strike. The shop owner said to me, "next time the bill is on you." No, sir. I rid myself of that POS shortly thereafter.

GS500, over and over. Wouldn't have one if you gave it to me with the airbox and underseat stuffed with £50 notes and promised me a new one in 3 weeks when it would inevitalbly die.

Proper shit bike.

without doubt my KTM 625 SMC, really thought I wanted a supermoto and convinced myself it would be a great bike - tried and tried to like it but with exception to the 0 - 40mph acceleration it was boring as fuck and road handling was no where near as good as id imagined once you got moving a bit faster, sold after 12 months and wasn't too arsed about the 500 loss I took.
