Worst bike you ever bought and why

[Jim21680_imp]

Of the 3 bikes I've owned, the middle one - a 2007 BMW F800ST - was easily the worst. The other two were or are amazing (a 2003 SV-650, and my beloved CB)

With less than 12,000 miles on the odometer, I experienced problems such as piston slap, rear wheel bearing failure, wandering belt drive, and random stalling issues.
When it worked, it worked great, but the thing was such a nightmare to own, and totally unaligned with the BMW name.

I'm glad to hear that those problems with 800 series bikes have now been worked out.
