Honda CX 500

Bloody thing snapped its camchain the day after i bought it, been stood for 2 years. Rebuilt engine and the bloody thing would need a new cam chain every 30,000 miles without fail.

It blew itself to pieces after about 150,000 miles, but at least gave me a supply of bits to keep the other one going.

It handled like a pig.

Looked absolutely disgusting, i wanted a cheap fairing to get me thru winter, rang round various manufacturers until i found a cheap one. It was horrendous huge Gary Glitter type metalflake electric blue leftover from the 70's. No wonder no one had bought it. The mounting brackets were real Heath Robinson and as you got upto speed (relatively speaking of course) the whole fairing would begin to pivot and move backwards. Complete utter bag of poo.

Probably the worst point was the pi$$ take you'd get from other people, but it earnt me enough money to run GS1000 and Katana 1100.
