For me it was a 2000 Twin Cam 88 Superglide

It was forever breaking down, I traded it for a 2007 Street Bob I rode until I got my first Freewheeler in 2015
 
BMW K1200GT. Forgot the year. The bike had a difficult to find, intermittent electrical short and the ABS module failed. Bought and sold it within a month.
 
For me it was a 2001 Harley Davidson Ultra Classic (Suede green and black two-tone). Three times while riding out of state and twice on the way home from work the engine just cut out on me. Each time I would take it to the shop and they could not replicate the problem. Seven months after I got rid of the bike, this model had a recall for a switch that would open up under certain conditions and stall the engine.
 
It's was a 750 Suzuki Water Buffalo. Never got the old thing running. Took to 3 different bike shop no luck sold it after about 6 months
 
My 2017 Tri Glide, to many issues to list here. Still fighting front brake drag issues and yes I have the break fluids changed every two years.
 
It was the one I had the most trouble with but it was also my favorite . . . well that is after I got it all sorted after several years, lol. My 2007 CVO Ultra. I was a beta tester for the 110ci motor, the 6 speed tranny and a whole host of other 'improvements' introduced in the 2007 MY.
 
I have a hard time to decide the Worst, my new 1976 AMF XLCH, Harley Screwed me there was only one in the crate, there was supposed to be two in the crate so I had xtra parts to keep it running. Then my new 2020 Harley Tri Glide, My life is too short to explain, I forgot about my new 2000 Harley CVO Road Glide, Great riding, Good Looking, for the times it was fast, 3300 miles I got the dealer to buy it back.
