Default Love/Hate

Question. I have had many bikes over the past 35 years. But truth is I loved and hated aspects of most. Hated....My BMW R100 with the stripped shaft oil fill plug, The Sporty vibration. My Dynas windshield and thebuffeting. My Honda 350's high speed wobble. Loved .... My BMW K75 smoothness. My SV 650's quickness. My Dyna's sound andfeel. Whatare your love/hates from your motos ?

I don't know where to start.Hated my Dynas pathetic performance in stock trim and it's lack of cornering clearance, love the way it looks, sounds,and feels now,hated my SVs cheap stock suspension and rock hard stock seat, loved the handling and the wheelies,love the Ninja 500s top end rush and overall bang for the buck, hated the cheesy super fragile plastic fairing,loved my XR650s ultra light weight and stump pulling torque, hated the engine blowing up at 20K,loved the classic UJM style of my KZ650 hated the 1970s technology, performance, and the reliability of a 30 year old motorcycle, I loved the flexibility and the true dual sport capability of my KLR250 hated having to give it up for parts when the motor blew and it cost more to fix than it would ever be worth, I could keep going for awhile but my lap tops running out of juice.
