Worst bike before getting licence - Maico 440 Motocrosser. Ex works bike I got cheap when I was 13. Too much power too quickly. Not the sort of thing you want to try your hand at racing on. Sold it the following year for a cr480 Honda. Just as powerful but more manageable.

First bike was a Suzuki TS125 field bike. Nuff said

Worst bike since getting licence - kwacker KL650 Tengai. Too big, too heavy and a bitch to start in the wet.

First bike was one of these...


Worst bike...

... although to be fair it was knackered when I bought it and I on my limited teenage budget I basically just got it roadworthy (and then thrashed it to death )

First bike---BSA Bantam
Worst bike----Honda CB 175. For a newish low mileage bike it was unreliable,doing an alternator and a gear selecter fork witin two months and two thousand miles.

My first bike was an NSR125 super sprint, great fun for a 125 and pretty quick when it was de-restricted, worst bike was my second bike which was a CBF600 naked, wasn't unreliable or anything just very very heavy and very very dull to ride!!! regretted buying it as I could have had a SV but got a good deal on it, that got stolen so I bought my SV which I still love!!!

1st bike..honda mbx 80 had it about a week took it back to the shop and px for a cb100n due to the fact a break caliper seal failed and it was gonna take 3 weeks to get repaired.....not the sort of thing you wanna wait for when your excited about just getting started on a bike

worst bike...suzuki gsx600f (the old tea pot) had a lovely engine but handling that would make a top hollywood stuntman quake in his boots

My 1st "official" bike was an MBX80, which I thought was great. It could keep up with many 125's until about 65 (It topped out at an indicated 80!) Mind you I did tweak it heavily and ran it with a Gianelli power pipe. How overkill were two discs on the front of a bantam weight bike ??

Worst bike? I still own it My XS750, with it's chocolate gearbox. Just can't afford to get rid of it
