What was your first motorcycle?

My first bike was a 2000 gsx-r 600. I loved this bike!! Aside from the fact I almost killed myself on it numerous times. I bought it lower and full yoshumaro racing exhaust. For a first bike I think it was a little too much. It took quite some time to be confident taking turns at high speeds. Once I got it down though I wanted a 1000. I topped it off at 169 pushing 6th in to red line. Now I have a gsx-r 1000. So much faster, but was weird taking turns at 4k on the 1000 when I used to take them at 13k with the same power. I love the feel of the wind. Popping up at 150+ feeling the it hit you is so much fun. Sport bikes rule the road =P Thank god I didn't get a cruiser. Loud and slow hahahaha junk. My buddy has his boy that's three now saying junk every time we see a harley. Three years old and already knows cruisers are just an excuss for fat people to think they cool because their guts won't fit on a real bike. So sad to see those bikes on the road. It is so funny seeing these people riding junk and saying look at my resale value. Real bikers don't care about that crap. That is why sport bikes out sale cruisers. People are realizing that real bikes for real riders all come from japan. Too bad Harley's answer this is the Beull lmfao!! Sport bike riders don't like it and even Harley riders hate it!! Unless your old or obese stick with a real bike for your first bike.

I loved my little Honda Ct 70!!! My brother got a good job when he first got out of school and bought me this little Honda CT 70 from a friend of his for $50.I was 14. By far the best present I have EVER gotten! I used to just love getting out of the house and riding all over the mountain roads near my house! I used to just ride around and enjoyed watching all the animals and such. Only cost me like 75 cents to fill the tank if I remember correctly. I know I didn't work and I still always found enough money to fill the tank! Wish I still had it! I've owned probably 30 bikes since then! I currently have 3 Hondas,4 Yamahas and a Polaris 4 Wheeler. lol. Let's just say I fell in love! ;)

First bike was a Harley - 1942, 45 c.i.- in 1952, just out of high school. The engine had a rod knock, my Dad got me a bearing and pin set, I lapped the rods, put it together, and rode it for the summer. Sold it in fall, next spring, bought a 1947 India Chief. Rode it a year or so, sold it and got a 1947 Harley 74. Got hit by a guy who pulled out to pass a car he was following, on an S curve. Bought a 1949 Hd 74, bad engine, put the 47 in it and rode on. Next was a new Triumph T110, in 1956. Many new bikes since, and many, many miles of street, dirt, a bit of road racing, a lot of drag racing, Bonneville, and other speed trials, and still at it. Several have been "Special bikes" to me, but afraid the first few do not fit that description.

My first bike was a 1967 Lambretta scooter. 200cc. It was the only model of scooter that was freeway legal here in California, but almost every time I went on the freeway I got pulled over by cops thinking it was a Vespa. It had two separate seats, one behind the other, and behind that was a luggage rack that held a spare wheel. I bought it just to go to school and back (community college) but I loved riding it so much I ended up going for 150-mile day rides on weekends. I took it camping on weekends and for long rides along the ocean on Hwy 1.

I paid $175 for it (used, of course), I kept it for about two years and then sold it for $200. I wish now I'd kept it, it would be worth about 10 times as much.

I enjoyed riding it so much I traded up for a 'real' motorcycle, and I've been riding ever since.

I got a mini bike with a 3 hp Tecumseh motor when I was 10. Bought my first real motorcycle when I was 23. It was a 1982 yamaha 400 2 cylinder. I had to add 2 helmets, a windshield and a sissy bar with backrest to get the price up to $1500, so the loan company would finance it.

My first bike was a Honda Step-through, it was used to ride round the paddock and all i remember is waiting for my turn which always seemed less than any of the others and falling off in a bed of nettles and thistles.

My first road bike was a Suzuki B120-student...

I loved that bike pulled my first power wheelie on that bike.... and learned the colour of adrenaline was definitely BROWN.. It took me on many a journey and taught me Independence...

I love the bike as it introduced me to the open road. many bikes followed but few have the same memories.

1967 Gemini 60 a little dirt bike. .

I was 5 so there wasn't a whole lot of "open road" but I did tear up all the hills and fields within 5 miles of the house and I've been riding ever since.

Harley S 90 (1970). Stripped that thing down and used it for dirt bike riding and racing till I got to be 16 and then put the lights and turnsignals and street legal tires back on it, got it registered and the rest is history. I loved that lil bike.

Cushman Motor Scooter then a Beesr (BSA) 250 Trials

my first bike was a black and silver 2003 Suzuki GSX-R600. I loved that bike it was sporty compact. Looked great handles very well, but not to much for a new rider to handle. Now I have a Plasma Blue 2006 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-636
