What Was Your First Motorcycle?

[BLACK WIDOW]

First motorcycle was a ALLSTATE step through, 3hp, friction clutch scooter. I was 12 years old. There has been a long list of bikes since, but still have fond memories of that little Allstate.

In 1999 as a graduation gift dad bought me a 95 Honda Rebel. He said is was a good starter bike. I still decided it was prudent to remove the pink windshield.

My next bike was USMC issued in the the form of a Kawasaki KLR 650. I thought it would be the death of me. Motorcycles = fun. Motorcycles + flying bullets = not so much.

As a kid I had a 3&1/2 hp Sears mini bike, then the much faster Rupp Hustler 7hp then a Honda 250cc.
First Road bike was a Kawi 1000 LTD, used that to go cross country right after getting out of college. Wish I had kept the LTD - very fast and comfy....
Since then I've had 9 other bikes. Still have my Sabre 1100 and a Motoguzzi ElDorado 900.

WOW! now thats a memory...the Rupp Hustler....my dad bought one for the family to use(4 boys)....we had it for about 4 years or more....I used to drive it in the snow up north when the roads were closed....great fun:2thumbs:

My first bike was a brand new RED S90 Honda, I used to carry it on a carrier that fit on the trailer hitch of my new Red 64 Malibu SS. A lot of good memories!

Not sure of the year (late sixties)I took my brothers 180 Yamaha street bike out for a spin in the hills of california. I was 12 or 13. I was a bad boy that day.

First time I ever rode was on a friends Sears Minibike around 1975. I had a 'borrowed' Honda 70 Trail bike for 1 summer and then saved up enough and bought my first motorcycle - a Late 70's Honda CR-125.

I rode plenty of other dirt bikes after that - but the CR-125 always held a special place in my heart.
