ive had a lot and i mean a lot of bikes but was thinking about the my childhood and the 1st bike i rode and the 1st bike i owned ,thought it would be fun to see were all of us got our first ride.
1st ride Honda xr75 ,the grey model
1st bike,Yamaha YZ80b 1975
it was 1 year old bought it for 50 bucks previous owner thought it was seized,when he put the stator cover on he got the long bolt mixed up with one of the short ones and it jammed the flywheel ,good for me,lol
i could add around 100 plus bikes to this list but if you want to add a list of bikes please do.picci only for ref.
my 1st road bike was
An old Yamaha DT100. Bought when I was 15 from a friend down the road for $50 worth of 1 and 2 cent coins that I had gathered over a few years. The pic isn't mine but you will get the idea.
First ride was an XR80.
First bike was a TY175B trials bike, could go anywhere with that thing, just couldn't keep up with anyone........
First road bike was a 76 Z1000
First ride was a mates SL70, way back before XR's came around.
Like Revhead... first bike was a CB250t.
Best bike... a 2000 R1
Currently own '07 900 Hornet, Gen 1 & a Gen 2. Ahh memories
People are like turtles....... you don't move forward unless you stick your neck out!!

Great thread.
My first bike was a TS 250 Suzuki similar to this pic.
I was around 17 and 9 mths ready to get my L plates.
Soon after I would buy my brothers bike off him and this was the start of blinging, even back then.
His was a Honda cb750.
Bling included 810 big bore kit irradecent black respray, 4 into one, flat bars and more. it was a great bike until I somehow managed to break the cam in half right in the middle!
Arrr the good ol days.
First bike was a bitsa including bits from an old xl 100, xl 125 and xl 185 and anything else we could find on the farm.
First road bike was 2001 Aprilia RS250.
Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.

Had a mate with one of these. He got it new for christmas in '75. Bloody hell it went hard and fast - when you're 10 years old that is
my first bike was a DT175, first road bike GT185 - I rode it to school in Yr11. Never beaan without one since. Had so so many since. The 'busa is by far the best I've ever had.
