What was your first motor bike ?

[Trumpetier]

Probably sounding like a gang of angry wasp’s followed by a haze of blue smoke !

That's the scene

 

[Livewiref9]

My first one was a BSA B31 350 single which was the same vintage as me and my mates (1954), we were about 10 or 11 at the time but had access to plenty of fields and quarry roads. We had to push start it as none of us was heavy enough to kick it over Wish I had it now......

 

[Nostrolomo]

A brand new Yamaha RS100. I loved that bike..

 

[Mark E Smith]

That's the scene

Micron expansion chamber, K&N Filter and Cazzy R - guaranteed to make any Fizzer feel like it’s doing 70 !

I had a nice little Honda NSR 125 thought I was the dogs danglies and the fastest person on two wheels.

Needless to say I soon had to learn to repair the fairing with fibreglass. Still hate the stuff to this day.

Suzuki Beamish RL325

 

[Laverdabru]

First one I owned, a 1972 CZ in 'Babyshi*e Brown', bought in the late '70's. For £50. Even at that, I was ripped off..

A gutless Suzuki X1, same as this one

Following on from a different thread, but similar title, what was your first motor bike ?

I had one of these, in the same colour. The mighty ER50 in 1983/84.

[Grayingsy]

Kawasaki AR 125.
Mid 80’s I was 16 years old, happy days..

 

[Mrs. H]

1954 BSA M33.
Did the 'Direct Access' course in order to be able to ride unlimited size, and on my test (taken on a Honda 500cc) I can remember the examiner, on being told what I'd bought, laughing through the earpiece headset and telling me to enjoy being able to travel at 70mph as it would probably be my last.

@Trumpetier my first bike was very similar to your second one , my first was a Yamaha XT 125 . Loved it apart from the one time a bee flew into my jacket, the XT wasn't that good at an emergency stop !

After a quick search on the internet I found one

Lovely old bikes

 

[John79]

Kawasaki AR50

 

[Wadcutter]

I started on an RD 50, it was not exactly 'limited' when I got it as it did 52 mph.

Spent every moment tuning it and experimenting with it.
