What was / is your first bike?

[Mattastic]

This board seems to have a good mix of old(er!) riders and new and I'm interested to see who started where in the wonderful world of two wheels.

Me:

Suzuki GS125, 86 C plate, £400!

I started off-road when I was 6. I had a Honda 50R monkey bike. Was great fun, although I didn't ride that much when I was that age.

I really started getting into it when I was 11. Still had the monkey bike but started wheelying and jumping things. A so-called 'friend' crashed it a few months after I had got into it in a big way, I was gutted.

Luckily, my uncle was at hand to give me a Honda CD200 'Benly' which he found dumped near his house. It was/is a twin cylinder 4-stroke road bike that I rode for a few years. Taught a few people to ride on that bike too.

Since then I have lost count of the different bikes that I have owned and rode. My latest bike is a road legal DT125 which I have just finished working on at last.

Only started about a year and a half ago, rode this beastie (cg125) for 9 months, took me 200miles to skeg and back, another 230 miles to leeds festival and back, and a few thousand miles allover the place in all weathers, i really regret having to sell it but thats just how it goes i guess
After ridding 9months i did my direct access and now ride a bike thats 8 years older weights 230KG (dry, god knows what its runing weight is!) and is 5 times as powerfull Mwahahahaha!

[Laura]

I started out on a 100cc ped and then went to the cbr restricted.

My 1st bike was a CB125T (Twin), that got stolen, and then I got the MBX125F.

[T.C]

Started in 1974 with an unrestricted Yamaha FS1E and then went to a Honda CD175 before taking my test on a Yamaha RD250.

Passed my test at 17 went straight onto a Suzuki GT380 Triple and that was the last two stroke I ever owned!

My first bike on the road was a Honda MT5(0) before the days of needing a CBT (showing my age!).

First 'big' bike is the Yamaha Fazer (600) I have just got.

First bike ever, was a Honda C50 for thrashing round the garden!

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

2001 NSR125R. I also managed to sell it in one peice. Which suprised even me!

[dainesefreak]

1992 J reg Aprilia AF125 Europa which was destroyed by my invincibility and a Metro!

[Danny]

Started of on a cursed KH125 that would never go above 55mph.

Got fed up of it and bought a shinny nsr, had it for a year.

Then got bored of that and got a GPz550. Which is fun, when it works.

[vf1000f2f]

my first was a FS1E 50cc then a GP 100 then dt 125
