My first bike (back in 1991) was a very secondhand Suzuki GT 250 2-Stroke Ram Head. Now classed as an all time classic. Loved the thing and wish I still had it....

My first street bike was a 1972 Triumph Bonneville! I got it with about 1000 miles on it for $600. Such a deal! First dirt bike was a Hodaka Super Rat. Oh the old days!
