What Was Your First Bike?

[cardkid]

Hey guys, hope this belongs here i think it does. What was your first bike, how much did it cost, how did you find it, would you get somethin different if you could go back? You know just abit of general info on your first taste of freedom , I thought the best way to chose my first would be hearing what you guys started with learning from your mistakes so on and so forth bla bla bla At the mo torn between an nsr125 or an rs125

Get a DT125 if its 1st bike. No hassle when ya drop it and u can go off road with it + there more reliable

I did

CBT
DAS

Bought a '91 ZXR750 for £1200

I toyed with the idea of a 125cc before dong the DAS, I am so glad I didn't and went for the full unrestricted license.

On the CBT I rode a CG and a Yamaha SR125 on the start of the DAS, both very different bikes and equally good as well as equally bad.

Test some bikes that you like the look of and go from there, you may be surprised at how different bikes are like to ride.

Started off on a SR125.. wasn't a particularly brilliant bike, but then 125's aren't meant to be!! Spent about 6 months on that, did my DAS and spent 18 very happy months on a '97 Bandit 600. Traded that in for a 53 plate VFR800 VTec which, i have to say, is the dog's danglies. probably stick with that for quite a while now I reckon!

[TheShaggyDA]

First bike was a CB100N. I think I paid about £300, found it in the Used Bike Guide. It did its job - got me through the test. Under the same circumstances, yes I'd get it again.

Progression in the sig.

Nice knee action Luke lol

[Misc]

Yamaha R6. I was worried at first because of all the negative comments i read & it being my 1st geared bike. Went around in a lil carpark & found it rather easy to control & adapted to the bike in a few minutes. As it's my first i've learnt my mistakes on this bike & it's been good to me. I was determined to get it & i did.

1 month later & shes still great, shes getting sold soon tho.

[Whosthedaddy]

[Misc]

Hopfully if my compensation comes through, i'd want a new R6, Ninja, RR. It's a great bike but i'd like to change because i'll end up spending all the money on this.

First bike was a Yamaha RD250B (Registration number LKP13P) after riding my Fantic chopper into the ground within 3 months of buying it.

My first bike was a 1998 Kawasaki ER-5, It cost me £2200 in 2001.

Was ok for the first few weeks then the problems started, if I could go back I would've bought the 2000 Honda Rebel 250 I ended up buying 9 months later instead.

[scott666]

My 1st was a Honda NS125R, picked it up on ebay for £620 in september just gone, Dropped it 3 times only ended up with a few scratches, ended up with electrical fault, sold in march for £670 and got my CBR125 now. NS was a pretty good ride and is almost identical to the nsr so i suggest it.

[NSR Mick]

If mopeds are included heres mine, cost me £20 bargain, and if any of you laugh there'll be trouble.

Pretty nippy mopeds Puchs. Why should you be embarrased? You should be the one laughing, I bet it did a genuine 45mph, cost next to nothing to insure and never broke down.

All for £20.

My first, and current, bike was a Rieju MRX 50 Castrol. Great little bike, but i kind of wish i had gone for some thing a little older and a little cheaper. I ended up paying 1600 for it but it did only have 500k on the clocks and a brand new one would cost about £2000.
