In this article, certain models of Kawasaki, Harley, Honda, Suzuki, Hasqvarna , Ariel and Greeves, Motoguzzi in general were mentioned. Some believed that the list was lacking Suzuki TM400, Yamaha V-Max, The ATC Hondas, TL1000, GL1000, and many. I have not rode most of them to determine if those mentioned were actually really bad, but I believe that it is not fair to ride one certain model of now-a-vintage bike, which differs greatly each other depending on how it has been treated, then decide whole model was all like the one you ride. One commented that 72 CB750 was one of the worsts. I am sure that he got ill maintained one, though handling was not the strongest field of the model. I read an article about a Motoguzzi fanatic, who is an expert on 60', 70's Guzzi, talking about how each bike were different. "variations ranges from subtle difference in paint colours to different parts on supposedly identical bikes."
I am surprised that people assume the bike's handling was bad just because they wrecked it. I guess you are supposed to ride it like you stole it as soon as you get on the saddle. I thought that you are supposed to go easy until you know bit about the bike's ability. You don't go attack corners till its limit right away, right?
Most of bikes could be a great bike if it was ridden by great riders.
Again, you can't make everyone happy. Someone always has to bitch.
