NEV Posted May 22, 2011 Share Posted May 22, 2011 Reading Fuff66UK's thread about him trying to find his first bike, and good luck to him finding it too btw, I got to thinking about my first bike, it was a Honda c50, me and my mate went halves on at £14 quid back in 77, and he kept it at his house cos he had a helmet, lol he's got a nice 'busa nowadays, the bastid, so what was your first bike, and I don't mean something you were riding off road at 11, but road legal aged 16 onwards? Uploaded with ImageShack.us Don't know about whether I'd want it today or not, I do wish though I'd kept my 750/4 k2 mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xv535 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 My first bike was a new 1964 Honda Sport 50. I got it when I turned 16 after a week of nagging at my father to let me purchase it. My Dad decided to let me get it because one of his friends said it would be difficult to get a girl in trouble if I had a bike rather than a car. Boy was he wrong!! I think I paid $325 for it. I rode the little Honda for a year or so. Had a lot of fun with it but I don't think I ever took a picture of it. Rocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leatherat Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 My first bike was one of these (not the one in the picture, mine was a lot more battered, but it was ace!) Then it was a Honda CM125, then a Suzuki X7 then various GS's, GSX's and Triumphs and....oh I wish I'd kept 'em all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE0 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Well here's a laugh for you, genuine period photo taken around end of 1977~1978, This was my first bike!......bike?.......alright scooter! I restored it ...i.e decoke and new rings and painted it blue!!! fitted the crash bars and air horns and added a load of mirrors and front screen. (yet to be added in this photo).but take a look at thoses flares...got to be 12 inches ( my feet were size 12) The best bit is this was BEFORE the mod revival which was a year or two away. I used it on the road to pass my test and used it for a couple of years before it was scrapped as an MOT failure so I replaced it with an Orange one and swapped the chrome and mirrors over, then came the MOD revival and I duly sold it for over £250.....that was a bloody fortune then!! Talk about being in the right place at the right time.......I only paid a few pounds for it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEng Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 My first bike was when I was 16 and it was FS1E – DX 49cc, (the DX had a disc brake, as if it needed it lol). The pic is not the actual bike, just for demo. It was an R reg (the first time around) and it also had pedals, which meant if you wanted you could pedal it, but it also meant it was unrestricted, so not the normal 3 bhp but a whopping 4.5 bhp. Which meant it would fly, well in moped terms anyway, on a good day it would do 45 on the flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
