Top 10 Cursed Motorcycles of ALL TIME

[@haydonreese9370]

Quick history note on the 911 "widow maker". I think the title was somewhat earned because of the handling of the cars. They had huge 80s turbos with tons of lag so people would hit the gas in a corner off boost and nothing would happen. Eventually when the boost would hit when they weren't ready and they would get scared and take their foot off of the gas and due to the rear engine weight balance this would trigger almost instant, non recoverable, oversteer and send the cars into poles, ditches, innocent bystanders. etc. (nerd rant complete)

[@maximborodyuk3773]

Let's just say you should dig deeper than that. 911 is inherently bad construction requiring very specific way of driving; they're more or less figured it out now - not so much in the 80's. Main reason was ultimate combination of absolute dumbass rear suspension and the fact that if you lift (not even after boost hit etc) in the corner while going at least a bit fast - you get yourself a crash no matter what (unlike other cars where you can catch it). Rear suspension was what starting to scare in the corner, than come the lift annnnd crash. Boost was part of that too; scenario you described was also taken place - but it was way more than that. Actually the problem with 911 when going fast is not oversteer, it's understeer. I suppose they were trying to fix that with this abomination of a rear suspension they used in the 80s-90s.

[@shaneflutsch2270]

Wow, reverse snap oversteer that even modern day ford cant compete with... Sorry, had to say that at least once today. As far as danger... Always figured the worst one would be a 959, dual turbos, one big one, one small one... No electronics... Sounds like something a just graduated lawschool guy/gal would crash and crash hard. Slow by modern standards but... Never driven one myself though...maybe one day. Saying you've gotten to drive an f40, 959, or original gt40... That would be a cool story to tell one day. Maybe bucket list dream at this point, but goals still nonetheless.

[@joetroy2904]

Non-recoverable oversteer literally doesn’t exist. A good enough driver can always counter oversteer as it’s happening.

[@maximborodyuk3773]

@@joetroy2904 ehm good enough driver wouldn't do that mistake (abrupt lift off) to begin with. And I bet you don't know how violent it could be once you're going really fast :D Especially in a 80s shitbox (which 911 certainly was) with constantly changing toe and 60+% weight outside rear axle. Once you lift (and I mean complete abrupt lift like regular Joe would do out of fear) you're done.

If a 70's 911 Turbo isn't a widow maker, I don't know what is! Those things are deadly, not only because of the massive turbo lag, but also the fact the whole car is a pendulum, with all the weight behind the rear axle. They used to put lead bricks in the nose of the car to compensate...

[@EnergyXyz]

Agree. Many yuppies died in that car.

[@mikesama5458]

[@Win7ermu7e]

Yammie clearly not familiar with the massive sledgehammer turbo-lag and rear end instability of the 80's 911 Turbos. They were indeed widow-makers.

[@jakel2837]

Try getting back into bikes! It doesn't matter if you're 35 or 75, there's a bike and riding style that you can enjoy. Even if medical issues prevent you from riding a normal bike, I've seen plenty of people having fun in 3 wheelers. I even once saw a guy who'd modified his Goldwing to drop small stabilizing wheels when slowing down, so you don't have to balance the bike until it's at a speed where it basically does it for you.

[@bluevalkyrie2517]

The widow maker here in Brazil is the Yamaha RD350, good power with bad brakes is always a fun combo

[@victorbitter583]

Easily remedied with a RZ front end.

[@TheShantum]

Same in India. The rd350 with its bad brakes killed alot of young rich guys, 350cc was out of the world for India back then.

[@MrHws5mp]

Here in the UK, the RD250LC was pretty much single-handedly responsible for the law limiting learner riders to 125cc 12bhp bikes.

[@JoeBleaux69]

[@efficacitejm]

The B-King is a misunderstood beast. Quirky looks aside, that Hayabusa-powered engine is no joke. Great value for anyone seeking raw, unapologetic power on a budget: 184hp

[@EnergyXyz]

The look def helps with a pair of Yoshimura cans. Awesome bike, easy to manage and strong AF.

[@bigd5899]

for real, considering that it costs less than half of what a z h2 costs and can put out similar numbers with a cheap tune its a steal. he can sing praises about the z h2 and its supercharger all day but in the end it has just 15 hp more and less torque.

[@Togrul_Qurbanov]

5:43 have you played cyberpunk? This bike looks straight out of that universe and i love the design

[@plap.]

1st 911 turbos had peaky power after big turbo lag like the h2. also had snap oversteer. Both combined made "Widowmaker" a absolutely legitimate title for the car. To be sure

[@bodhim4353]

The CX125 is legitimately a dream bike for me, so IDK lol

[@Enakaji]

The Gilera CX 125 is basically a Collectors Item. Gilera only ever made 1000 units of it for the whole World, it was only build for one year and the used prices really reflect that. If you happen to find one thats for sale prices are usualy around 12-15.000 Euros. It was powered by a watercooled 125cc two stroke engine that produced 31 HP and thanks to the aerodynamics it reached Topspeeds of over 160 KPH. It was also a really great handling bike with a weight of only 131 Kg. Luckily though Gilera also produced a more "Civilian" version of that bike with the same engine and similar weight, the Gilera Crono, which was built in way higher numbers and for a few years, with the last few years even using the same single sided rear swingarm of the CX and used prices for those are usualy around 2-3.000 Euros.

[@guymersh3148]

Finding a good one is all important. Spares for bodywork etc are like hen's teeth. How anyone could not appreciate the styling is beyond me 😄

[@gregorsamsa1364]

Gx125 is one of the most beautiful bikes to me

[@maoristereo]

The R1200 C is the best bike i ever had and i never should have sold it. If i could i'd buy one right now.

[@Magnetik_moto]

IMO the F6500CS is kinda cool. I even wanted to buy one last year but decided to get a GS instead. It was very innovative for its time and much ahead of any japanese bike in its class. Also the CD player was the dumbest accessory to install in the 'hole where tank should be'. Other included helmet mount with a lock and various tankbags. It was also fuel injected, had ABS and belt drive. GL finding that in anything you can buy for this cash . BTW while it looks absolutely ugly on photos, in reality it's better.

I have seen 1 DN-01 in the wild, ridden by a gentleman missing his left arm. Said it was a blessing they made the bike as it allowed him to ride again.

[@paulebbers3402]

It's niet a CVTveither. Honda called it HFT, completely different.

[@GearHeadGeeks]

No, the H2 was not a bored out H1, a completely different design. And if you have ever ridden a decent example, you would know that the they were not that bad to ride. Yes, they were a handful, but they actually had a descent power band that came on much earlier than the H1. The handling was not all that terrible and the main problem were the tires at the time. Also it was an extremely dependable motorcycle. I bought one new in 73 (worked at the dealership at the time) and wish I still had mine....but alas.

[@jorgerodrigogomezflores5711]

The R1200C was a cool machine, I had one and swapped it for something bigger after 5 years of ownership, but I would buy one (a 2004 Montauk version specifically) if I can find a nice example with low miles.

[@TheGrifCannon00]

I was just waiting for my F650CS Scarver to make this list. It may be the single most practical, and easiest motorbike to live with ever, but boy is it awkward to look at. Great to ride though, I even took mine mild ADV riding last weekend.

[@jethrobradley7850]

The BMW R1200C is what Homer Simpson would draw if you asked him to design a bike.

[@silvercloud671games]

i disagree. I think its one of the best looking non custom choppers

[@graantmnz]

I had a TM400 - my mate (a fitter turner ) made some air rear shocks for it- and converted the front forks to air - and it was a great bike to ride...even raced it without problems ...just shows decent suspension can cure some issues

[@MKA63]

A museum of these "beauties" would be an awesome place to visit. These bikes would become very expensive collectors items, not for their beauty or practicality, but quite the opposite! 🙃 I would visit such a museum for sure - especially if there were interesting stories about each model and how they might have had their moment in time. Great video - Thank you.

[@hyperfocus4866]

Sam Miller Motorbike museum

[@katywalker8322]

We have a couple of CX125s. The handling is just like a bike with conventional forks. Gilera did talk about developing the front end to fit the fork tube in the head stock. Complete nightmare to work on as the bodywork has to all come off to do many things (and the plastic goes brittle with age). Front brake line goes through the fork lower (makes it fun to put a brake line in place)

[@DarrenFinley]

I actually thought the BMW. R1200C was a good looking moto. But thats probably because it looks a lot like the V65 sabra lol!🤠👍

[@extrameatsammich]

The transmission in the DN-01 is not a conventional belt type CVT, it is a swashplate hydrostatic unit. Much cooler, also more expensive to make.

[@shmac96]

Personally the Beemer's cruiser, also featured in a James Bond film, was cool. I loved the then sort of innovative 90s futuristic design and their front end suspension design using the motor as a stressed member of the chassis. I also liked the idea of the attachable and functional uses that the Scarver offered and its marketing. At least to an impressionable teen I thought it was cool.

The Kawasaki 750 H2 had a purple colour option when it launched in the UK, which lead to it being christened "The Purple People Eater" after the novelty monster song. One journalist (Mark Williams?) published a review of it which saw the immortal phrase " earth, sky, earth, sky, nurse" used in print for the first time. I used to regularly see a Honda DN-01 parked in my local town centre here in the UK for years after it's one-year production run, so somebody must have loved it. I quite like the way it looked, but the eye-watering superbike price for a warmed-over NT650 Revere engine (a bike so boring it was nicknamed the "Reverie") and the lack of sensible luggage options mde it a non-starter. I believe to this day that had it been cheaper it might have sold better.

This is probably the fifth version of Bad motorcycles that I've seen, and I think at least three of them were done by you. In at least two of these two of my favorite motorcycles are have been mentioned. And in all of them the motorcycle I currently own and actually is one of the best bikes I've ever ridden is constantly coming up, the BMW r1200c. Now I did not intend to own one of these bikes. But I ran across one that somebody had dropped off at the BMW dealer and had left it for 2 years and had yet to pick it up. It had 3,300 Mi on it and I bought it for $3,500. Because that same BMW dealer also used the same type of motorcycle for their land out bike and it probably had $200,000 Mi on it at the time that I purchased this 1998 r1200c. I decided to go ahead and buy it and I then took an advanced motorcycle course, and this has been a wonderful motorcycle. It does everything I need it to do. I have never put the bags on it that I originally intended but it gets me around just fine. I wrote it from western Canada back to Detroit in 29 hour marathon of several years ago on the first week of March of 2012. That's a long ride on a naked bike with a small windscreen. And it worked flawlessly. Is a 500 CX honda, I only owned the one and I believe it was a 1982 custom model, it only had a 2 and 1/2 gallon tank but it ran pretty good and I had a nice sweet spot of about 72 to 75 mph, it would only top out at about 1:05 but it was a wonderful bike for around town and when I did go to the BMW dealer and told them that I was looking to move into a BMW if I sold it. He said don't worry about that that is the best bike that Honda has ever built. He was correct, I have seen CX500 bikes run for freaking ever with almost zero maintenance. It's not particularly fast. But I was surprised at how wonderful the bike rides even when you lift the front wheel off the ground while accelerating out into traffic I actually held the wheel up through four gears about 5 or 6 in off the ground and was still able to steer it just fine. Never had a bike that easy and intuitive to ride. I did have to be careful about are in the front tire because it would get a head shake when you change lanes on the freeway. I repacked the bearings in the head of the fork, put a little bit heavier grease in them snug them up a little bit better and made sure that I had good air pressure in the front tire it's amazing how often the front end skittishness is caused by air pressure and sometimes by the type of tread that's on the tires. But I had no problem with either of those two bikes and you keep knocking them. I'm guessing that you have never picked up an r1200c and wrote it for a little while. It's really a nice ride. It is comfortable to sit on. Try it out for a little while once. And they run for flipping ever

There’s a CX125 in the Timmelsjochen motorcycle museum. It’s the only one I’ve seen - it looked a bit odd, but in a good way.

I went into this video thinking about Hunter S. Thompson, and his description of the Vincent Black Shadow. I was not disappointed.

Funnily enough my dad literally almost died on a Kawasaki H2 Mach 4 back in the 70’s. He was in high school and full throttled it past some onlookers before losing control and flying straight into a corn field. Couple days in the hospital, months of recovery and one berating by my grandpa later, he was okay 👍

HI Eu motorcycle mechanic here. I had the pleasure of working in all of the bike's in this list except the bimota, hayabusa an black shadow. The CX was a prof of concept and give way to the cagiva fereccia C10, C11, C12 you can still see influence on the first Aprilias Rs 125 /250. The H2 was to fast for the time (chasis wise). M'I grand grand grampa had a vincent black shadow I'still have the manual same as the H2, Lorence of Arabia died on one of those. The C1 is Shite, and I work in a few of those here in BCN, but the F650CS is tank the second version without of the belt still runs, Rotax is Rotax. The DNO1 it's bad, but same concept as the CX now you have the Integra and X-ADV. And the BMW R1200C Is a sofa and prof of concept for the tele-lever suspension that you can find in a RT 1200 . So very USA point of view most of this bikes are grate, not with problems we have to admit, but not designed for the USA, we have Very diferent roads and uses for bikes here, for allot of us bikes are like cars for you so please take this in consideration, les hipe and more facts.
