I would have to say the bike that scares me is the Harley Davidson ultra classic not because its a really pricey bike but because its 900 lbs. I'm 5,7" at 165 riding it was like driving a Cadillac but stomping and holding it up right was like I was holding on for dear life.
I have never really been scared on a bike...Its when I came off the bike that was spooky! Well maybe once.
The bike in my avatar was having a clutch issue and wouldn't pull past 8000 rpm. I was travelling with a group of my friends and was drafting one of them to squeeze a few more rpm out of it when the brake light came on. We were travelling around 100mph at the time. I had to brake really hard to avoid rear ending my friend and the rear of the bike came off the ground about two feet. I had to stop for a smoke after that.

hahaha really got the adrenaline pumping overtime huh! Back when I had a cbr 1000f I got in a fight with my wife and was driving stupid fast around a large corner at night. I was going too fast to make the turn and made a quick decision to stand the bike up, brake hard and take it into the ditch. Didn't wreck but scared the living S$#@ outta me. I'm lucky it was a huge smooth ditch (which I knew it was before deciding to stand it up and take the plan b).
Also had a Yamaha R1 that was scary fast. I sold it before I killed myself on it.

I've had bikes over 30 years ago and none of them scared me and that's exactly why I got a 954 - because I wanted to be scared. And it worked! A Fireblade on full chat should scare anyone, lol.
****, I have raced stock ex500's wana talk about scary. Flex, Wobble, and Slide, gota be smooooth, they make no power don't handle worth a ****, you just have to ride the wheels off em. Production Twins baby!
My scariest point is when I first got the current bike. It has been years since I've ridden and Texas had no curves or hills, but Cali does, and it was hard to try them out on a bad tire. Not to bring on hate storm, but my gixxer was much heavier and faster so that is not it at all.
