Hiya Everyone! "The Worst Motorcycle Co."

Ok, I know what most of you would say is the best, but what do you all think is the worst of the big motorcycle companies? I'm thinking as far as current product lines.

Having ridden a buell I think their votes are completely undeserved, they are oddly fun to ride, and as a company they have the balls to be unique in many aspects of their design instead of doing what everyone else does. Though all that effort is wasted because the power plants are total junk....

I think its pointless putting hd up there, they make cruisers and since this is a ducati forum, and ducati does not make cruisers, very few of us are likely to like their product line. And as a company I would say they are the stand out best, who else could sell an outdated 700lb pig of a bike with 50hp and no brakes for 30k+ not to mention have people lining up at the door to do so.

My vote went for suzuki, only because they defile the image of their sportbikes by having one get beat by one of their pos suvs in a commercial haha. If given the choice I would spread it between honda, yamaha, kawasaki, and suzuki for killing off twin superbikes for those of us who HATE inline 4s. (rc51s don't count since they have been virtually unchanged since the 00 model year, and are not very competitive)

I worked a a motorcycle shop for years and unless Kawasaki has gotten MUCH better in the last 3-4 years they get my vote. I don't thing there was a zx6E on the road that didn't lose 2nd gear,and they had TONS of recals on the frames and swingarms for their welds breaking.

I agree with BCade. My best friend (who hooked me up with my Ducati) owns a Buell Cyclone and it's a great bike. Looking at some of their new bikes like the Firebolt, I am very impressed. I looked at a lot of bikes including all of the Japanese crotch rockets. In the end it came down to a Buell and a Duc. It was a tough decision between the Buell and the Duc, but in the end I went with the Duc.

Why the negativity? Nothing positive or constructive can come out of this.

I'd bet that 99% of those who voted against the Buell are too much of a pansy @ss to justify their decision and probably ignorant as well.
