What was your first motorcycle?

[0nelilreb]

That's not a bad thing.. lol

Not at all . My most favorite thing to do is walk into a motorcycle dealership and smell that new rubber off the tires of the showroom models and hear the squeak of them on the floor when you sit down on one and move the handlebars . Brings back childhood memories .

A 72 (iirc) TS-125 was my first bike as well, although I started on a Z50 mini-trail. I could not touch the ground with both feet. I took the on road stuff off and added knobbies. It had an under pipe and I took the baffle out and it was loud. Neighbors must of hated me and I could not blame them today.

Coincidentally, it was Orange!

Got my first Honda mini bike when I was 9. 50cc Honda mini trail. I had an XL 250R with trail knobbies when I was in HS.

The best surprise gift ever was my dad buying me a Honda Rebel 250 for my 14th birthday. That bike was freedom.

When I was a freshman my cousin’s husband wrecked the Rebel and I upgraded to a black 450 rebel. Thanks Rick.

I miss motorcycles. I have kept my motorcycle license active since I was 14 but I haven’t ridden in years.

 

[FïreBall]

Mine was a Yamaha GT80

lusted after my friends Honda elsinor mt 250 back in the day

Best friend was small/short. He had the elsinor 50 when we were young teens/pre-teens. He could sit on it normal. My knees were above the seat. We did have a burned out Suzuki 125 for a short while, but technically it was my brothers. I never owned one. Most of the time you had to roll start that thing.

 

[GVF]

Guy in HS rode one of these. With a helmet 2 sizes small, and no face screen. Not sure if he ever acquired a car, or still rides one of these. He was 350+ so it wasn't as fast as factory claimed.

 

[CAVPUT]

Mine kinda resembled this but not nearly as nice and dark green. Ran a sweet lawn mower engine, too!

This was my second one....

 

[sugarhillvol]

Purple and white Yamaha 250. Two Harley’s in the garage now.

 

[marcusluvsvols]

.my 1st true love. Never went more than about 48hours without washing it. Parked it inside so nobody could steal/touch/breathe near it. Honda for life.

 

[rs16]

1968 Triumph 500cc.

 

[VolGirl81]

Yamaha Virago 750, loved that bike, was perfect for my short legs

 

[volinbham]

my latest (not my first) but looks like it could have been my first

 

[YankeeVol]

Welp, selling the S1000RR. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the bike, but I can't do the Super Sport for more than an hour.

Time to get naked. Picked up (well put a deposit on at least), a 2019 (leftover) Aprilia Tuono V4 1100 RR ABS.

 

[Go aeiou]

Honda 350, 1969.
Took a trip to Daytona after I graduated high school in 1970. Had a bad wreck, and spent a day getting things straightened.
More work needed when I got home about 12 days later.

 

[escapegoat2]

1979 Honda Z-50. It still starts on the first kick to this day.

Same. Mine was 1984 though. Loved it

 

[YankeeVol]

Mayyyyyyy change my mind. This is the other option. Yamaha MT-10

 

[YankeeVol]

Decided to go with the Yamaha
