CBR1988 -> Worst bike you have rode (10/31/2006 4:00:20 PM)

Hey:
I can't beleave I almost forgot about the worst bike I have ever rode or owned, as I got rid of it in less than 3 months of ownership. I traded it for an 1yr older kz900 with over 2k miles on it, and the bike had less than 500 miles on it, plus I had to pay alot with trade just to get rid of it. (As the Dealership where I worked did not want it either because they did not think they could sell it and it did take forever to sell). My riding buddies had to wait for me even though I had a 1000cc bike and they had 400 -1000 cc bikes, and could spank them on my old CB400F. It did not handle, it vibrated, it had no power and was slow, it was the loudest bike of the group, I could barely get a 100 miles out of the little coffin tank, the brakes sucked and barely stopped it in panic mode, it scraped badly when sport/cafe riding it was supposely made for, and only had 4 gears, but hooked me on the looks and could be one of the most valuable bikes I own today, if I would have kept it, as they have a cult following,
Go figure.
The bike:
an 1977 Harley Davidson XLCR 1000 limited edition, the little black cafe racer sportster, with a performance kit installed (HA HA hi perf kit what a joke) My buddies RD400 Yammer smoked me in a drag race uphill, and any Honda CB350T would eat my lunch.
