Oh hell yes. My first bike was an Aprilia R125 2 stroke that couldn't go more than a day without breaking down. It was constantly fouling spark plugs, or the choke cable would snap, or worse again, it would just go into an electrical coma. I had it for a full 3 months before the shop gave me a full refund. The icing on the cake was one winter morning when the roads were literally frozen over, and I had to push it from Ashton school, across all the bridges in Cork to the bike shop which was about 3 miles away. I must have fallen on my ass a dozen times each time I met a patch of ice, much to the amusement of everyone in traffic.
