The worse for me was a 1974 Yamaha DT 250. It didn't have any ground
clearance and it was heavy. Rode a couple enduros and then I sold it
to get a Suzuki RL250.

Same here. Only I was stupid enough to race it for two seasons in the desert
from '79-'80. Thank goodness I replaced it with an RM250 in 1981 or it
probably would have killed me eventually.

'71 Yamaha DT1 - bought used in '73, ditched in '74

My friends had much worse luck with theirs. They tried the late sixties and
early seventies euro bikes and got burned bad. I was so spooked by their
misfortunes that it took 25 years before I bought a European bike (KTM) in
'01.

In hindsight i'd say my first real one the Honda XL500R was
really horrible: cable driven drumbrake at the front and a carb
whose piston actuating lever couldn't be fixed to the shaft properly.
Idle would change between 1600 and 900 with every traffic stop.

Although in those times, i was incredibly thrilled to finally
have a real bike to ride instead of the previous 50cc mopeds and
was beaming like the sun in spring whenever i'd try to go WFO.
