What was your first street bike

Im sure there is a thread already started on this but I couldn't find it.And im asking about the first bike you actually had on the road. My first bike was a 1981 Yamaha XS1100 special.
 
I was 15 when I got a 1977 Suzuki GS400 . . . Thinking back.... what a total piece of crap that was!

I usually *win* this one, when it comes to bike crappiness! :cheerleader:

A 1987 Riga Delta!! 50cc, 2 speed, 5hp! Beat THAT! :drools:

I learned to ride on my dad's '69 Suzuki TC120 enduro. He would let me ride it on the street when I was 15 and i used it for my license test. The first bike I owned was a '74 Honda CB750.
 
1978 XS-650 I picked up for $75.00! then cost me $800.00 before I moved on
Loved that bike though and would do It again if I found a straight one!
 
I had a '73 Yamaha TX500. What a total POS. The day it was stolen from my parents driveway I did the happy dance!

A new 1974 Honda CB360G in metallic orange. Had fun, but shudder to think about teaching myself to ride, and only a helmet as motorcycle specific gear. Funny that was considered a mid-sized bike back in those days.
 
Mine was a 1972 Honda CB450 that I got in 1978. Double overhead cams. Woohoo. It really must have been a great bike, since I knew zero about maintenance back then and it lasted two years until wrecked.
