Well the GS850 was discussed recently, but my vote would have to be
with the XS1100.

Of course, thats excluding Hardleys and the like.

XS750. Mate had one. Crock of shite.

Not to be confused with the XS650.

My bad. I thought you were referring to the tx750, which frequently is
described as the xs750.

Although I think to qualify, the bike is required to have no redeeming values.
I think the TX takes
the lifetime achievement award for that. The XS750/XS850 may not be desirable,
but you can still
find a few running around.
