What was your first bike? - MaFiHa_imp - 08-03-2018
I tried to search if there is any thread where I can post my first bike, but didn’t found any thread about the first bike. If there is one I didn’t found, dear admin, please link this to the existing thread.
My first bike in 1990 was a Honda VT 500 E.
Pretty sure nearly nobody knows this bike.
V2, 50 hp (Limited to 27
to obey the law for student drivers within the first two years) I put 70.000 km on it with no problems.

So, what was your first bike?

My true first bike was a Z50, Just like the one pictured below. I was a little kid though, and it was just a toy. My first "real" bike was a POS 1994 Virago 1100, best example I could find also pictured below. Before you say "that's too big of an engine for a new rider." you'd have to ride this thing. it was so old that it didn't have even half of its original HP or Torque. I hated that thing, but i respected it enough to buy a new Vstar when i finally replaced it.

My first bike was *probably* a Honda CB350 -- maybe an early 70's model. Really hard to be sure -- that was about 50 years ago and I had about 1 used bike bought early in the year and sold late in the same year for about the next 5 or 6 years. Can barely remember the sequence. But my goal was for each one to get progressively bigger until I ended up with a series of CB750's

After a 3 hp Briggs and Stratton minibike, my first real bike was a 1973 Hodaka Super Rat. I saved up enough to buy a new Honda XR75 and was on the way to the Honda dealer with my dad to pick it up, when I asked if we could stop at the Kawasaki dealer on the way, just to take a look around. They had a new Super Rat in the corner. I rationalized that a 100cc two-stroke would be much faster than a 75cc four-stroke, so I bought it instead of the Honda. I'm still kicking myself for that stupid mistake!
