Bad bikes, and I don't mean bad good.

Pick the Top Ten Worst Dirt Bikes of All Time? Wow! Where does one start? Surely not with the current crop of dirt bikes. You would be hard-pres

Your forgot the Malaguzzi Grzzley, the BSA A-10 Super Rocket and perhaps the best of the worst bikes ever made, the Bultaco Bandito. What other dirt bike needed a six-pack of pistons to get through one day of riding? Spanish Amal Monoblock? Need I say more? And let's not forget that giant exhaust headpipe screw-into-the cylinder deal that got cross-threaded nine times out of ten. Then you have the pot-metal crankshaft and bearings straight from an old Messerschmidt 110 gracing the chassis. Not to mention frame material that conformed to Barcelona plumbing codes. I had one, ya know....

I would have started with the '91 CR250..but..'04 KTM 450SX is a death trap to ride. Other than these two I've not had a bike I didnt enjoy riding. Is that too recent Hunky?

crap..I forgot the Bridgstone my dad bought, we never could start the engine despite it having spark and fuel. I think the frame was of pressed metal from old venitian blinds, cables that were rejects from the clothesline factory..cant quite remember but I'm sure it had the screw in header pipe dealio too..what a bitch when it came lose, had to wear asbestos gloves to fiddle with it then belt it with a hammer n chisel. Now I know why I forgot about that one...ok I dont wanna remember anymore bad bikes lol.

I remember well the Rokons. And I have a distinct memory of their steaming, slipping torque convertors in the mud section at South Cairo.
