Bought my first bike in 1974; a Honda 350 Four. A lot of weight and not a lot of horsepower. Got a few ladies to like it though
mind you back then I had a lot less waist and a lot more hair (sigh............)

I used to ride it around North Shore in the late 70's with a modified exhaust which was very loud. My friend's parents would ban me from starting it up in their driveways and asked me not to stay too late.
The pic isn't mine, but it looked very similar.

1969 Kawasaki GA3 90sss. Looked a bit like a trail bike, 2 stroke and cost me about $175 back in 1976. Sold it about 18 months later and got a Suzuki T350 which got replaced by another Kawasaki, this time a KZ400. After that a couple of Yamaha TX650's.... and the years went by.
Older, broker & non the wiser.
