Best: I really liked my 04 KX250, I just really gelled with it. It did however have a tendency to buck me over the bars whenever I cased anything.
2011 SXF 350

1989 Rm125

Throttle sticking fuel leaking scary sh@t boxes
The worst bike I have personally owned was my 2008 KX 250, it didn't ride badly but we have never had this much trouble with any bike bought from brand new.
The worst bike i have ever ridden was probably the 2009-10ish Husqvarna TC 449. Everything about that bike was weird.
Worst = cr125 2000- slowest and hardest bike to ride I've owned(build quality was brilliant though).
worst-2005 kx250--1987 rm125
Pit Row
Worst: 1982 RM 250
That bike was a rocket and when things were right it was amazing, but it was a ticking time bomb!!
Worst: 2004 Honda 125 CR
worst 91 kx 125
and i raced and owned Cannondales!
Worst: '07 CRF250. Thing bogged like hell.
Best: '10 CRF250. EFI is such a relief.
Worst: 02 KTM525SX, loved the power, sadly the suspension was brutal. Impossible to start hot.
Worst- 03 KTM 450 by a mile. Like turning a rhino
Best: Probably a tie between my 13 YZ 250F and 12 YZ 450. The 250 handled like it was on velcro, suspension was superb, and the damn thing would not break. Underpowered? yes, but with some mods it was a great race bike. The 450 gets a ton of smack, but it's powerful and fast. If you could get the bike setup down on that bike it's a lot of fun to ride!
Worst: 2004 CR250R. How did they actually produce that engine? No bottom end, a switch went off and it ran like a raped ape. But at least the handling wasn't great either.
Worst. 1991 YZ125. Everything that could break, broke and it was as slow as a week in jail.
Worst: 1988 KX 80 Big Wheel. Bought it brand new, and even as a slow mini beginner I managed to crack the frame in multiple places within a month. Honorable Mention: 1978 YZ 400 (always blubbered and seemed to have no torque despite its considerable weight), 1988 RM 125: Actually slower than the 1976 model I replaced it with, but maybe I did something wrong.
Best:
4T: 2006 CRF 450 - comfortable bike, fast, relatively light, excellent suspension once revalved. Raced it in 2014-2015 and would probably still have it if some dirtbag hadn't stolen it. Replaced it with a '12 RMZ 450 and never felt as comfortable on that bike as the old CRF.
2T: 1989 YZ 125 - I won my first race on this bike, and beat the crap out of it in races and nearly daily practice for two years with no significant failures (ignition went out once). Honorable mention to my current 2006 YZ 125, that little bike also takes a beating and leaves me smiling after every ride!
