Didn't own any of these, but my friends did and I had the extreme displeasure of working on them.
1. Honda VT500 v-twin Ascot. THE WORST carbs on any bike ever.
2. Yamaha V-twin Vision 750... or was it a 650? Who cares, it needed to be melted down into scrap. Just an all around pain in the ass with goofy plumbing everywhere. The usual host of weird ideas from Yamaha that make you scratch your head.
3. Any HD. See a pattern? The only thing I dislike more than working on V-twins is V-fours.
4. Any Honda V-four. Ughh...Please let me take a hammer to my skull!
5. Honda CB/CL 350 from any year. Yeah, there's a million of them out there and they are easy enough to work on, but they are cheap and all sorts of motor parts like to break. I've seen countless cam chains broken, broken con-rods sticking out the front of the motor, and missing gears.
Only five? Well, I could fill the entire page, but I'll stop complaining. Just give me any KZ, a 2-stroke Kaw, and maybe some sort of Suz GS.
