What bike do you regret buying & why?

My '09 848 it was just such a disappointment, for a number of reasons, after the R1

848 not the best?
Power?
Handling??

Yea, it was way under powered from what I was expecting and the handling is not up to scratch...over all I just found it not as much fun to ride as an everyday work as I did the R1. Beautiful sexy beast yes, but not the best in the Duke line up, maybe the evo will help fix that.

Cool!!

Cant see the EVO making a large difference IMHO.

None. Regret selling a few though.

ditto!!! I shoulda kept them aaaallllllll! Sold my ninja to some growly person, thought it was going to a good home - my poor bike. (actually HE is ok, SHE was not!)

Regret buying the virago.......at 40, shoulda got itwhen I was 18 - woulda been so much the better rider today :-) but like they say, never too late

1980 pre Alpha 1 Maico 490 enduro machine, went like a bat out of hell in a straight line cross country, but thats all it did, cost me a broken colar bone, fractured right knee and several broken ribs, road it for three years in enduro's in europe, then got rid of it and got a Maico Alpha 1 490, not much difference, just threw you farther when you tried to high speed corner.

One can only hope or the 1198SP looks the go
