I truly loved them all, but the cream of the crop was a 1983 Kawasaki KZ1100 Spectre named Beetlejuice. V&H header, 3mm overbore, shaved head, heavy-duty valve and clutch springs, it was an absolute beast. Two-up or solo, Beetlejuice had this effortless power from idle to 11000 rpm. Reliable as a battle axe.
The worst was more a physical problem with me than with the bike. A 1986 Honda VFR700 with HRC cams and a V&H header. Scarey-fast, sounded like a Formula One car, but I couldn't take the riding position. My hands went to sleep after 10 minutes. It was only comfortable above 100mph. I sold it after only a few months.
