Nominations Sought for Worst Motorcycles

Read an article over the weekend by Ted Reed of The Street on the “10 Worst Cars of All Time.” Having owned a couple of them – a 1973 Chevrolet Vega GT and a 1976 Ford Mustang II, but not a Yugo and an Edsel – it got me wondering if compiling a similar list of the “10 Worst Motorcycles of All Time” would be possible?

While I’ve owned a couple of bikes that didn’t suit my needs, especially ergonomically, I’ve never had a truly bad bike. Even the ’69 Triumph T100R that leaks oil, blows fuses and refuses to run sometimes is still fun to ride.

So, any nominations for the baddest bikes of all time – and by “bad” that means truly horrible? And, if so, why?
