worst bike ever?

[2strokesteve89]

I did not own this bike but, I will say it was the worst bike I have ever rode. It was a 2004 YZF450.

foreskins are in they're own class of bad

In order to really tell how well made a bike is. It helps if you know how to ride.

I don't know how to ride or work on bikes. I just surf dirt bike forums and pretend.

I got the perfect bike for you to learn on.

foreskin = fourstroke, its a phrase that will catch fire soon

So are you trying to say in a polite manner that four strokes SUCK?

Haters!!! I remember the late 60's too well when we were reluctantly getting off of 4 strokes because the Bultacos and Greeves were taking half the cc's to go about half again as far in the same amount of time. Most of us knew it would change again. Now I know it will once again change. In the meantime I have enjoyed both designs and pretty much refuse to argue that one is superior overall to the other. We are riding in an age of two wheel offroad rigs that we should all just be thankful for. Threads like this serve to remind me of just how BAD the "good old days" were, equipment wise.

YUP, that's the perfect bike for Rack to learn on. Plus, it belongs on a thread titled best bikes to own and ride. Or in your case it's the best bike you will never ride.

I had a blast on a 1974 hodaka when i was a kid, but then it was my first time on a bike

In all seriousness, the most expensive bike repair wise that I've had is my current, but I guess it gets a get out of jail free card since before I owned it, it belonged to an arenacross pro as a practice bike, it probably got hammered and put away wet just because, well, its a practice bike. So he did that, then some pimple faced kid buys it and hammers it some more out in the desert for a season and boom. To its credit it has been very trouble free since it was rebuilt, and its a very good chassis, motor could use some more pep though.

The bikes I grew up with and want to return to are Yamaha's, nothing comes close in the reliability department

If you rode a Hodaka up here you had to know a few people I knew who were selling them. I am sure they dont remember any of it though.

Nothing is more reliable than a 500cc two stroke.

Just found a barn job 500 (87) to go with the "nice" 87 I already own. Now I wont feel so bad about stripping one to put in a steel cr250 frame I have been jonsing to do.
