Most of the worst bikes have already been mentioned, but I would gladly nominate the worst car that had a bike sized engine (600cc) - I give you the slowest cage ever, the 2CV 
My displeasure with them stems from having changed an engine 3 times and each one had the big end go  Junked it in the end  |
I borrowed an air-cooled Honda 600 car thing from my uncle once. One of these and the same colour too:
The engine looked like a CB500 lump, and I mean the early 70s pile of snot CB500, not the modern one, it was so sloooow. The gearchange was a laugh, engaging reverse gear meant I scraped my knuckles on the floor because the lever moved so far. It fried the main fuseable link in its electrics on a trip from Trowbridge to Bedford and I completed the 12 miles from Milton Keynes to my mum's gaff with a set of jump leads running from a spare battery down by my feet, out of the driver's window and under the bonnet to the car's battery, and the bonnet was bungeed down to stop it flying up. Once at my mum's I soldered a thick piece of copper in where the link had been and drove it back to Trowbridge. It never played up again.
