Hey:

I can't beleave I almost forgot about the worst bike I have ever rode or owned, as I got rid of it in less than 3 months of ownership. I traded it for an 1yr older kz900 with over 2k miles on it, and the bike had less than 500 miles on it, plus I had to pay alot with trade just to get rid of it. (As the Dealership where I worked did not want it either because they did not think they could sell it and it did take forever to sell). My riding buddies had to wait for me even though I had a 1000cc bike and they had 400 -1000 cc bikes, and could spank them on my old CB400F. It did not handle, it vibrated, it had no power and was slow, it was the loudest bike of the group, I could barely get a 100 miles out of the little coffin tank, the brakes sucked and barely stopped it in panic mode, it scraped badly when sport/cafe riding it was supposely made for, and only had 4 gears, but hooked me on the looks and could be one of the most valuable bikes I own today, if I would have kept it, as they have a cult following,
Go figure.
The bike:
an 1977 Harley Davidson XLCR 1000 limited edition, the little black cafe racer sportster, with a performance kit installed (HA HA hi perf kit what a joke) My buddies RD400 Yammer smoked me in a drag race uphill, and any Honda CB350T would eat my lunch.

hmm, how about my EX500. always breakin down on me, never staying tuned the way I wanted it, being a general slowpoke bike, pretty much your average POS. I will give it some credit though, could keep right up with an HD 1200cc bike without much trouble.

 

Buell Blast My buddy owned one.... always broke down, sounded like a briggs and straton lawn mower engine. I have driven cement trucks that corner better. It was his first bike..... he went from there to a 06 cbr 1000 slight jump. I only rode it when i was trouble shooting it....oh yeha all the time.

 

Hey:

anybody got a post for this?

 

I'll agree with the buell. I did the test ride thing with a buddy so we could ride them together. They had a lightning and a firebolt for their test ride month. When we got there, they said the firebolt was "broke down again" and we'd have to both ride the lightning. First off, when you are trying to sale something, never refer to it as "broke down again". If the dealership can't keep the POS running, how can a potential buyer do it? And the ride sucked. I felt like I was going to fall off, the constant vibration and the way the engine was running.... I thought I was going to have to walk back. It did surprise me on the power, but still not as good as my 600 has.

 

i haven't yet...but if i did, i bet it would be Err's bike...
that thing has been down more than monika lewinski! not down as in crashed but down as in not working right! mauahahahahahahahhah

 

My friend has a yzf600r and I can't stand that thing.

 

An old interceptor 750 er something like that, beat up POS, 60mph max.

Either a KawasakiEX250 or Suzuki GS500. I work at a dealership and test ride most of the bikes that we sell and those two are right at the top of the list.
