personally owner a 1971 kawazaki 350 2 stroke, finished in metal flake green with purple flowers ( i kid you not) it through the front sproket off on th efreeway on the ride back from the guy i bought it from, Never really went properly again after that.

Worst bike i've driven was a ural combo. turned it left by accelerating and right by using the rear brake. the handlebars were just something to hang onto as it tipped up on right hand bends. IT WAS SCARY but [sm=alcoholic.gif]caused my to LMAO afterwards.

 

sorry about the typos. but i think you get the idea the front sprocket came off on the first ride was what i was trying to say.

 

ok, you win....worst bike i rode? it was at my MSF it was one of those POS extreme 250s, that bike was such a piece of crap, given it was a training bike so I KNOW it has been through hell, but i was convinced i would never be able to ride since the only experience i had was on that bike. wouldnt shift, couldnt even get it to go from idle to gear without dying, and it wasnt me either. and when it came to finding neutral....forget about it! (donnie brasco rules!)

DKW, in the 70's, made a euro racer 3 cyl, I think 500cc, w/ radial fin heads,exspansion chambers, that was beautiful!!!!!
Remember the yankee 500 twin, made w/ two ossa cyl'ns???, they made a 4 cyln 1000, that they raced!!!!! they were going to put into production, but said" nobody will want a road bike that can wheelie at 70+. A bit short sighted , eh???? look up the yankee site there should be pics.
