Bike you love to hate, but hate to love!

My 88 Yamaha XT350, forgetting about the new crank and piston it needed it is a hoot to ride on the back roads and can go anywhere but sometimes it starts one kick and other times will leave you a pool of sweat like you ran a marathon in full gear. It is a good work out though. So I always have and eye out for a 98 DR350es, but clean ones do not show up very often around here.

Have you ever bought a bike that you have a love/hate relationship with? I have and now that it's down for repairs I miss it. Kinda like a pyscho girl friend! Here's mine! Post yours...

Hate the seat, hate the fuel range,  hate 7,500 valve adjustments and the cost! When it is set up orgasmic! Break a part go bankrupt! Lol On a tight twisty road full on Supersports are toast!

Had one of these for many years. Almost as nice. Probably the best sounding motorcycle I've ever heard.
When it was running.  I wasn't as good a mechanic as I am now.. but.. how can it break? Let me count the ways. I was afraid to ride it any farther than I was willing to walk.
