What was your first bike? - Page 3 - Honda Shadow Forums : Shadow Motorcycle Forum

My first bike was a 2000 Suzuki SV650 which I got to learn how to ride on with my brother who is a sportbike nut. I put a lot of time and energy into that bike and I loved it but then fell on somewhat hard times and had to let it go.

It ended up being 5 years before I got my current bike . (1985 VT500c)

First bike - 1982 Honda Nighthawk 450, in 1991.

Seemed old at the time.

Current bike is only 4 years younger.

first bike was 71 Honda SL 100,think I was around 14
then also a couple of dirt bikes, and then when I was 16 I got my Yamaha RD350, loved that bike, and was hell on wheels on it.
Pictures are of what bikes looked like, but not mine

First bike was a Bridgestone 60, for my 14th birthday..I was excited about moving to Alabama when I was informed I could get a motorcycle license at 14. This was in 1969, and even today a 14 yr old can get a license for a motorcycle.

69 CB 350 Honda, it was stock when I bought it, I did a few things to it

Started riding in 69'. Didn't want a Honda because everybody had one. So I purchased this 1966 S32 Suzuki. Paid $200 for it. A real POS. Last "2 smoker" I owned for along time. So my BF purchased one just like it and it didn't last very long either.
