What was your first street bike

[Lonney]

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:

 

[Lonney]

Here's my first street ride. Honda Rebel 250! Outgrew it in three short weeks.

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.

1980 Honda CB125...just used it to pass my road test then I sold it at a profit.

After that came the 1988 FZR1000

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!

Would an Allstate Puch moped from 1964 count? How about a 1966 Honda Cub50?

First real bike was a Suzuki X6 Hustler of 1967 vintage.

1993 FZR600

1985 VF500F Honda Interceptor. Right off the showroom floor. I felt like the man back then. It got stolen 6 months later. Bastards.

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.

1983 Honda Magna V45 for $800, loved that bike, rode it til i killed the motor

 

[Damn Yankee]

85 Kawi GPZ 550 .....damn good bike:smokin2:

 

[CorrectionsK9]

I had a 1987 FZ600 that's why I like Dustin's bike so much...!!!!

Mine was a 1977 Suzuki GS750. What a great motorcycle! Picked it up for $900 and learned motorcycle mechanics on it, that thing is a blast.

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.
