What was the first bike you have rode and owned and how old was ya when you did?

the first bike that i rode was a 1974 honda MR50 dirt bike. I was about 4 or 5 when my dad taught me to ride it.

street bike was a 1987 kawasaki 454 LTD! before that I rode trikes and quads as a kid - I had Honda 250 SX trike when I 13!

Not counting a mini-bike with a lawn mover engine, the first bike I owned was when I was 15 years old a Honda 350 CL.  I can't remember what year the bike was, but since it was in 1973, I'm guessing late 60's model.


Looked something like this, except solid candy apple red...

My first bike was a 67 Honda 160 that a friend had sitting around.

First bike was a ragged out Suzuki K15. My brother bought it from a friend and gave it to me. At the time I was too young to appreciate what my brother had done for me. Living in the boonies of Louisiana, there weren't many shops around, so you had to fix things yourself. Keeping the thing running is what gave me the (learned) mechanical skills to build the bikes I ride today. Thanks Big Brother.

Oh yeah, I was 9 years old.

1966 I need more coffee

this is a buddy of mines bikes that he has restored.....

BINGO!!! Its a 1966 Red Honda Dream

Still working on my first but the first one i rode on was an worn out 3 wheeler some old farmer had watching a fire my dad was training on. in 1980's

Age 5 - Honda Mini-Trail 50

remember the loop framed mini-bikes with the little briggs and stratton engines on them? that was the first two wheeler i rode, well, sometimes it rode me, no suspension, no real brakes to speak of, throttle would hang wide open, god what a blast!

Honda Z-50 Mini-trail ~ age 8. Then the 175 Twin, 350 Twin, CB-400 four (screamer!!!), CB -550 Four, CB-650 Custom, Kawi KZ-900, graduated to Harley Dyna Lowrider big twin :-) Where to go, what to do next...  

BTW ~ My shop teacher and I spent some 'quality' time together brazing the handlebars back together after my sister tried to crawl a tree with the Z-50... remember they folded down???

First one I owned - Liked it a lot, reliable as a rock, easier to repair than a toaster

My first was a Yamaha AS 3..1977 more smoke from that, t'was like a mini Chernobyl

Santa got my brother and I a suzuki quadrunner 50cc. Probably around 1988 or so. Rode the crap out of that thing! This was all before I ever learned how to ride a bicycle.

'78 Honda CR125 Elsinore. Bought it for $100 with a blown engine from my Uncle because my folks wouldn't give me the money to buy a "death trap". Rebuilt it in the garage and on the kitchen table and the love affair was born......

197? Honda Trail 70. It was the four speed with a clutch model.
Some of the other neighborhood kids had the three speed automatic.

Like a couple others. I started with the Mini-Bike with a Briggs & Stratton. Got a 70 something Yamaha RD-360 in Jr High School.. Kept getting bigger and faster after that...

It started for me when I had just turned 7, It was a hand me down from my dad's friend's son. I think we paid $140 for it in '75 and I rode it every day the first year and a half, then some a$$bag stole it and I moved on, but I still miss that bike..... and well every motorcycle since.

1st bike was a moped my dad brought home for me. Next real bike was a suzuki 250 enduro style bike. rode it forever. quit for awhile (kids &job) got back into it with a Yamaha xs650 which I chopped, went through several of those then got a 1982 Sportster and chopped it. Now ride a 2000 FLHTPI (police bike) better for my back and body.
