In no particular order:
1. Any location-specific questions that don't give you a location,eg, 'how do I get my licence?' 'How do I check the history of my bike?' etc. Guess what the first 'w' in 'www' stands for, moron.

2. Any question that shows a vague/non-existent ability to specify a model: 'how fast is a Ducati?' 'what's a better learner bike: a Ninja or a 400?' In fact, any reference to 'Ninja' gets my pissed-off alarm screaming.
3. What's the fastest...? Obviously. Sure indicator of a 7-year old.

4. How much should I spend on a ...? As much as you possibly can. How are you going to handle a bike when you shouldn't be in charge of a wallet?

5. Detailed repair questions. Asking for a reference is okay, but you seriously think you're going to be able to rebuild and engine from a written description, however good?

6. Brand comparisons, preferably involving question #2.

7. Anyone who thinks the fact they're a girl makes any difference.

Used to work in a shop and there was a sub-class that just had to go on an on about their being a girl, as though they were the only gay in the village... but any response to a question that wasn't gender-neutral was a sexist insult. Actually tubby, it isn't that the manufacturers don't make jackets for girls, it's just they don't make jackets for people 4'7" and weighing 160 lbs. And nor should they.
8. Anything involving mini-dirt bikes. I don't mind scooters, but these mini dirt bikes are like pimples: usually seen connected to a greasy adolescent, ready to go pop at any minute.

9. Legal/police questions. You think you're going to get through court on what you get from Yahoo Answers? I hope you like the taste of prison food, dumbarse.
10. Any question written in SMS-text-ese, or without punctuation... if you can't be bothered to use the occasional comma, then I can't be bothered to help you.

My opinion the dumbest question is about top speed. All bikes over a 125 will break the speed limit. Plus where besides a track or you going to be able to go over 100 mph with any margin of safety?

questions from calcutta or somewhere about scooters rate up there. they should have their own category.
top speed and horsepower questions from people who won't buy a magazine.
people looking for free shop manuals. (ever hear of intellectual property?)
also, a lot of questions are based on prejudice for or against a brand or country of a bike's origin. live and let live!
mini bikes, quads and other things not purely motorcycle should be in some other category. (do you hear that, webmaster?)

And some more:
How do I check my oil?
How much air do I put in the tires?
Where is the spark plug?
What gas do I use?
Can I ride ________ on the sidewalk?
Most of the anti-Harley stuff fits in here too, but that makes way more than 10.

My favorite one was
Do women on motorcycles look lez?
Then there was
Should I buy this?
(description was of a Ninja 500 motorcycle that had been totalled by a gang of vandals armed with baseball bats and a can of paint)
How about
Why are Harleys so loud?
and
Are motorbike riders crazy, do you want to kill yourself?
or
How do I start my motorcycle?
I asked one myself:
What are squids riding these days?
