For me, a 1989 Shadow 1100. I loved how it looked but the feet-forward, hands-up riding position was so uncomfortable for me. After 20 miles I had a sharp pain between my shoulder blades.

Just curious as to what bike was the worst for you ?
The 1975, 125cc Gemini (Chinese made, 2-stroke) edges out the 1968 Triumph. The Gemini was a copy of a Yamaha dual sport. I interchanged parts like clutch plates and the rear hub when these items broke (the plates actually broke, they did not wear out). Don't even ask me why I bought this POS, but being only 15 yrs old is a clue, and wanting to get rid of my go-kart on a dealer trade closed the deal.
