I've had some shit bikes!
Daelim VT125 - Absolute shed. Bought new as my first bike but it fell apart so quickly I had to hire a bike for final few lessons and test.
Yamaha XT660X - Destroyer of rear tyres. Bit heavy for a 'supermoto'. Stripped the engine myself to cure a rattle.
Enfield 500 - Great bike, should have learned to fix it instead of selling it.
BMW K1200RS - Belonged to my old man but he let me ride it a fair bit which was probably a bit stupid as I was used to the Enfield. Could watch the petrol needle drop when giving it the beans up the m.way.
Harley Sportster - Fun way to blow a student loan. Corrosion set in pretty quickly.
Kawasaki KLR250 - Lots of fun till I seized the cams and stuff in the head.
Honda Superdream 400 - cost me something like £300 and ran like it.
KTM Duke 390 - Ridiculous fun, could put much larger bikes to shame on a b road. Pity it sounded like a hairdryer.
Yamaha Virago 250 - I probably looked ridiculous on it. Made a 4ft high sissybar for it!
Matchless G3 - Happy with it so far, despite breaking down on way home from buying it!
