Hmm! must be another BDG wandering around wiv a big fat wallet

difficult one this as Goldwings/Harleys/Harley clones/Jawa's/BMW K1 have already been mentioned although that BMW K1 deserves a mention as being truely dreadfull.

My personal least favourite was my first big bike after passing my test. A Triumph 650 Bonneville which was a complete pile of junk. Imagine the joy of an 18 year old buying this THING which had ape hanger bars with rear sets! 2 different silencers, one reversve cone mega, and one original peashooter, the whole wiring harness had been rewired in orange wire, everything was orange! One of the shocks snapped a couple of weeks after i bought it. Boy was i gullible. Despite a never ending catalogue of problems an even more patriotic (stupid) mate then me wanted to buy it when i'd had enough. I sold it to him just before i went on holiday and said pay me when i get back, and the ehgine exploded big style before i got home and was paid.

That bike was a complete nightmare and qualifies as my least favourite.
