Your first bike

[brimo]

Found this and got all teary eyed, mine was dark red.


Love those boots........

[bazz20]

my first was a xr75 , it would take a day just to tie the laces up

[ungeheuer]

My ol' man wouldn't let me have the more desirable.... faster... Yamaha FS1E coz being 2-stroke it "wasn't a proper bike"...  lol...

My first bike:



I know! I know! It's a hard life! 

[craigo]

First bike I actually *owned* was a monster:


I still miss my 620. owned it for 4 months or something. Ducatis really should be red trellis imo. 

[The Don]

A yamaha GT 80

I bought a Kawasaki KLR250, what a blast of a bike, a bit gutless, but still a blast to cruise around on, tough as old boots, dropped it 2 or 3 times.
And I still see it getting around, 10 years later!

My first bike was a home made mini bike. I think it was a 50cc or similar, but my first road going bike was a Yammy IT175 power house.
Back in those days I thought it was fast. I suppose I was only 17.
Man that was 22 years ago! Wow. [moto]

First road bike was a Honda XL 250s, my brother and I had the same bike, we went everywhwere on those things,
dirtriding, great ocean road, scratching round the Kew Boulevarde, even raced mine at winton one weekend.



and you ain't lived til you've scraped a knee while on one of these babies...

[dragonworld.]

This was my first bike. 

I think from memory I picked it up for $50 and rode the wheels off it. A great biuke for its time and it went like stink and was very reliable. First of a number of Yamaha bikes!!  [moto]

In particular the 2 stroke rockets. Real giant killers!

The now old 620 was my first bike.
Unlike Craig, I don't really miss my 620 now anyway.

You will Matty.

Mine was one of these:



1 x crash + 2 x drops but no major damage done - not on that bike anyway 

I wouldn't mind having one in fair condition today. Actually, would prefer it's big brother the T500 or a T350.

[heatherp]

I had a yellow Suzuki TS185ER but i can't find any pictures. 

[Big T]

Grew up out bush and rode some old bikes that we were able to find and get going (Honda 50 step through, BSA Single...). Never registered just rode them anyway (aaahhh those were the days...  )

But this is my first real bike.... A Honda CB750 K2.... Loved that bike... Wish I still had it.... 

All of 19 years old here and full of attitude..... As we all were at that age...... 



All my mates had dirt bikes so of course I had to keep up.......
