What was your first/worst bike?? - Page 2 - SV650.org

First & Worst: CG125 with the dodgiest kill switch set up on it. Would cut out in traffic if I wasnt careful.

Rode it til it died though. But tbh despite the dodgy kill switch and its tendency to switch the engine off at the most inopportune moments, I learnt loads and had a lot of fun on it. So its probably unfair to say its worst bike in that respect.

Did my test on a CG125! Thought it was quite friendly!?

first bike a cb250t

worst bike a vs700 but only because the battery packed up altogether

honda ss50 and yes it did have fully functional pedals

used em twice :P

worst bike was the 250 superdream heavy and sluggish . so muggins here bought the 400 much the same.

best alround bike cb900f1 with lots of engine tuning and suspension mods I wish i still had it was heavy but boy was it quick in those days.

super fun bike and rd400 yamaha with a full race topend and pipes or the standard topend and pipes . i could choose which to fit on a rainy night and run out the next fine day. Lasted quite well until a blockage in the oil pump caused a major sieze at about 100 mph. YOU DO NOT WANT TO GO THERE

Just to differentiate why I put that there and why you probably wouldnt think yours was anything but friendly.

Ah Lynw,
I didn't own it,just used it to do my course/test on!

I can imagine why you feel that way though!

The words I used to describe it are unprintable. I got one after my CBT because I liked the one Id used. Ho hum. Live and learn.

First bike was a BSA bantam, ( ex post office ), first bike on the road a Yamaha FS1E.
My worst bike.. well the SV is the most uncomforable thing I've ever owned, but the worst has got to be a Honda RS250, closely followed by a Harley Davidson trail bike.
