I would say my BMW F800R. I had an R3 before and felt that I needed something "bigger". At that time, I used to commute daily on my bike,
but me being young, naive and stupid didn't take into consideration three obvious things before making the move.
1) The bigger the CCs the bigger the fuel consumption. I was spending almost twice on gas compared to before.
2) Usually, more CCs mean a heavier bike. In Mexico, you can lane split and filter; maneuvering between cars became quite more difficult.
3)Back in my home country, most of the "premium" car/motorcycle products are first owned by people who can afford to buy and maintain them. Then down the road, when they get bored, they sell these vehicles to people that want the status quo but can barely afford to purchase them; thus, the maintenance gets neglected because they have no money to pay the "premium" brand prices.
After that, Paco comes into the picture, he buys a motorcycle/car that was neglected and spends an absurd amount of money to take it back to a decent status where it's safe to use it.
