For every great bike, there's always one that fails so badly you question how it was approved. These failures have been around since the early days of motorcycles, but they became more common in the 1970s.
It was a time of innovation with parallel twins and advanced triples, alongside the rise of sport bikes in America.
Join us as we delve into the world of the worst bikes ever made, where ambitious ideas often ended in disappointment and frustration.

All BS...No credibilty at all. Obviously not a motorcycle rider!!!!!
-
A drop in torque caused unexpected wheelies. That is like saying that rising sea levels will cause more land mass.
-
Nobody wants a Z1 or a V7? Really?
-
You obviously have no real knowledge of these bike. I have owned and rode all the Kawasaki triples, respected them, worked on them and drove them within their limits and the only others who could keep up were others on 2-stroke bikes like mine. I was a mechanic at all the Japanese brands and everything you said in this video simply is distorted misinformation by someone who listens to myths, tall tales and outright lies by others who don't know what they are talking about. If you want the real information, ask the people who were there and experienced it as the greatest times of our lives. Back then if you were owner/riders of these machines you were also mechanic for your bike and YOU did all the riding and handling magic. today the bikes do almost everything for you.

Complete crap, I rode fast bikes in the 1970s, if nobody wants a H2, Z1, V7, T160, Laverda, give it to me, have a look at the second hand prices now. You cant even get the photos right. When talking about the Laverda 1000 triple you keep showing pictures of the 750 Twin, Can you not count from 2 to 3?
-
Dudes a rookie get your shit straight before you make videos. Tell your probably like 20 something.
-
Z1 bad?...Crack is bad for you.
-
I don't agree with 90% of this video..... Go back to school....
-
You have no idea what was bad in the 70's.
-
What a load of BS. From what I remember most Japanese bikes from the 70s had electric starters. That's one of the reasons they sold so well. If I was offered any of these bike I'd love it. He forgot the 70s US motorcycles made by the bowling ball company and how bad they were.
-
So nobody wants a Triumph Trident T160 or a Laverda Jota or a Kawasaki Z900? I can only assume that whoever put this list together knows less about motorcycles than I know about string theory.
-
Can you even ride a bike. The kawasaki 750 triple is one of the most expensive and sought after collectors bikes
-
You have forgotten the 1975 Harley Davidson 1200 cc AMF ,,, the worst pice of crap ever put on the road ,,, crank shaft , Breaks that would fall off the motorcycle, starter , electrical fire , leaking oil , poor performance A real pice of crap , any of the motorcycle that you listed were 100 times better machine than the Harley 1200 ,,, I know I owned one ,,,,
-
This guy has no idea of what he is talking about.
-
Is this guy for real? So nobody wants a Z1, or a Laverda, a Guzzi V7. Really??Or are they being judged by today's standards??
-
You call the Z1 one of the worst bikes of the '70s? You clearly were not alive in the '70s.
-
Btw,british bikes do not leak oil, they just mark there territory......😅
-
Clueless on YouTube
-
The high performance bikes from that era did just fine... if you knew how to wrench, and how to ride.
-
...so says a 20 yr old YouTube creator. The Guzzi Sport and Laverda twins & triples are cherished sought after bikes.
