Whats the crappest bike you've ever owned and why?
Arch stanton:
Without a shadow of a doubt.
CBX750. The worst engine I have ever had.
3yrs old, 14,000 miles, Tony Scott blue print motor.
2lt of oil per 1,000 miles. Replacing the rings. Reduced that to 1lr per K. Threw the crank whilst following a mate on a 883 Harley.so Hardy revving. Utter crap.
royhall:
Sounds like Tony Scott had a lot to answer for.
ka-ja:
Without a doubt, my worst was a Matchless 250cc circa 1960'ish.
Arch stanton:
The reason behind the Tony Scott engine was.
The bike was entered into the Production TT. By Bill Head motorcycles. Ridden by Phil Nicolls. The bike would have won but for Bill Head over ruling the rider. By not allowing a fuel stop. Phil pushed in to finish 26th after a good lead.
I think the race must have taken too much out of the motor.
I have had a Tiger cub & even a Norton Jubilee. Both were utter Shite. But nothing more could have been expected of those. But a Honda!
Nurse Julie:
Without a shadow of a doubt a Suzuki T500 back in 1980. She didn't have, or I could never find 2nd gear and the hotter the engine got the more of a bitch she was to start.
