Worst. 94 KX 250. Great motor but, the engine mounts were about  as strong as Saltine crackers
 

Best. 87 CR 125. I enjoyed everything about it.

True, relative to it's competition, that machine was worlds ahead in ways no other bike before or since has attained, honorable mention to the 1981 RM's though, they were just as superior to their peers as the Elsinore but the Honda changed the trajectory of MX bike development in an instant.  For a decade, bikes became obsolete year upon year as the Japanese dirt bike arms race raged.   It was glorious !

The worst bike I ever owned was a Hodaka Super Rat, the CCM was one of the worst I ever rode.

I'm guessing most of you guys listing the TM400 as the worst bike never had a chance to ride a Yamaha SC500.

Another +1 for the 2008 CRF450R...   Bought a low hour one to flip a couple years ago ($2200) - then I rode it.  I will never sell that bike.  The '08 CRF450R made sweet, passionate love to your mom - and even called her the next day - like a gentleman.  There I said it.

I had both a 2005 and 2008 CRF450,  I liked the 2005 power and handling much better.
