Of two Suzuki's, one Triumph, two BMW's, and five Hondas there are two that come to mind as being less than spectacular.
The worst was the 60's something Triumph Daytona 500. In some degree of fairness, when I bought it a friend helped load the boxes of parts into his truck. I did ride it for most of a summer but sold it quickly.
The other was an '86 Gold Wing Aspencade SEI with a California Sidecar. I bought it in Phoenix and rode it home. The Gold Wing just didn't suit me as the complexity of the dazzling "features" created a constant series of problems wore me down and the appreciation for the bike faded. The difficulty removing all the tupperware to fix anything simple aggravated me to no end.
Add to the list of bikes I've owned all the odd bikes I rode while working in the Moto industry I think most bikes are pretty well engineered.
