Ha, maybe we should have a "cheap hacks I've loved sub-thread"...
Honda CB200 - awful
Honda CD175 - cheap > sold someone the CB200 and they gave me the CD to ride home. I fixed it and thrashed it mercilessly for over a year. Kind of fell in love with it.
Kawasaki Z200 - accidentally pulled my biggest ever wheeley when two up.
Honda CB500T - Nothing at all to recommend it.
Honda CB550K - Not bad actually.
Kawasaki Z400 - Porridge.
Suzuki AS50 - 1st bike, looked ridiculous with me on it.
Suzuki A100 - Dreadful.
Makes me laugh when I see people in "Classic WTF Magazine" paying send loads for these things.
If offered one cheap as chips I'd have a CB550, a Z200 and forget the rest.
