Your first bike.

[MikeL]

Anyone heard of a Miyapet?

I think I had the only one in the country.

My first bike was a suzuki ts100er (in England).
Stripped down (as probably stolen) for the fields.
Got away from our brothers twice on that bike and caught once with a mere slap on the hand (was 14) BTW the only reason i got away is i'd always ride through apple orchards and knew them like the back of my hand

[magnum]

mine was a 1980 honda xr200.i was 15 and paid $800 cash privately from my own savings,learnt to ride on back roads and firebreaks[and fall off occationaly].at the time it was a good little bike and never gave me any trouble.have since owned a xr250rb,gs650g,gsxr750h,rz350,xt600 and current zx6r.

My first bike of note was a Red Line Series 5. Went as fast as you could pedal the fucker - wicked over the table top to. My back up bike was a Mongoose - didn't like that as much - coz the Red Line had the 'cool factor'.

From there I went to shitty old bikes until the Mountain Bike phase kicked off. I had a Diamond Back, then on to GT RTS.

From there I went on to my Bandit 250.

First bike not counting the countless scooters i have owned was an 89 kr-1s that me and a mate rebuild two wreaked bikes make one good bike, had that for about a year sold moved and didn't have anything until i stumbed across a zzr250 at a dirt cheap price, nz new, so brought it, had it for years, taught many a people to learn to ride on that bike

Bahahahahahaha , legend shit i still remember my first bike a Dirt Squirt BMX that was purple and black

As for the first motorbike well its my current one in the avatar picture (note that is my racing fairing not my road one.....)

Mine was a Suzy GT125, complete with Ram Air Cooling and front disc brake - WOW!! Immac condition and only $650, it traverssed tha Kaimai's successfully in pursuit of uni parties and provided that first 'freedom' of 2 wheels admirably!! I recall lying on the tank in an attempt to hold 100 k/hr on the open road from Hamilton to Tauranga and a guy on a H2 Kawasaki 750 cruised alongside and lay on his tank in encoragement!! lol - til he blasted away in a cloud of smoke.............

My first set of 2 wheels with an engine. A Suzuki FZ50!

At the age of 14, saving up for it with a paper delivery job was so worth it!

My first bike was a K1 Suzuki GZ250. A red one at that - someone told me red is faster. NOT. I thought I wanted to do the Cruiser thing (sportsbikes looked downright scary) turns out I didn't!! Rode the GZ for about 4 months till I had had enough of everyone having to wait for me at the next stop and bought my Thundercat and haven't looked back.

I found out that sportsbikes aren't scary just some of the people riding them are!!!

[scumdog]

Phillips Gadabout - had to pedal like hell to get it going, hit hedges to stop it, 'nuff said!!!!

[sAsLEX]

Had an XR250 for a year but needed a road bike so got my current CBR250RR

[Posh Tourer :P]

MZ ETZ 250.... tallish and not very powerful, 2 stroke 250 single.... but very easily fixed and almost indestructible. Electrics were a bit dodgy, but we sorted that out eventually.... Put a 400-18 on the rear, and managed to spin that up twice on wet roads (I wasnt trying to...) Got me to the coromandel and back in relative comfort too.... Good bike, but it was asking for a rebuild, so we swapped it for the CB125T

[Grumpy]

My first was a Suzuki TS185ER. Thought it was the bees knees when I first got it.
Wasn't until a mate and myself decided to take a ride from Auckland to Rotovegas one Easter, me on my TS and him on his DT175 Yamaha, that I got a yearning for something a little more road worthy, so along came a GS450S. :spudbooge

[slob]

The first bike I rode was an old 100cc Yamaha that my dad had in the corner of the garage. Moved on to Dad's indian-made "hero honda" CD100 (without his permission at first..) and had my first spill on that too (100m down the road from home).

First bike I owned was an '87 Suzuki GN125 in special metallic red paint. I used it for commuting to uni. Loved it and shined and polished it religiously. Still see it on the road every now and then.
