My first bike ever was a '77 Honda XR75 at age 11. Beat the brakes off that poor little bike until I got a new CR125R, then I got the brakes beat off of me :lol:

First street bike was a black '82 Kaw 550LTD at age 19. Kerker 4/1 meg, K&N pods, and a huge rear sprocket :D

Chronologically from age 11 until now...

'96 Bandit 600

 

Wish I still had it... Sold it for way cheaper than I should have too, really.

 

If I had the option to buy it back from whoever I sold it to for ~$1200-1400, I probably would.

First bike was a 1972 CZ175 trail.  Not mine, but the thing I had was exactly the same;  It tried and almost succeeded at killing me.  I don't care to ever ride one again.

I then had a myriad of other machines.
1977 Honda CB550 Supersport
1975 Honda CB750 Supersport
1982 Yamaha YZ125
1985 Honda VF1000F Interceptor.

The only two left in the stable are my,

2007 Ducati Sportclassic.

Shaun has my EX500 for sale in the classifieds currently.

 

If I bought it back though, i would put the fairings in my basement and make it look like a naked SV, and keep the stock stuff around in case I ever needed to sell it.

75 CB550k

God I loved that bike, put 10,000 miles on it in 3 months. Occasionally would flood at highway speed and I couldn't go faster than 65...........

Leaked gas and oil like the Exon-Valdez. Wish I never sold it, my plan was cafe racer, modern swing arm and a modern engine, painted flat black with rising sun on side of gas tank.

Hmmm. I think I win for the oldest/smallest first bike:  1965 Honda S90.  Rode the wheels off that thing and kept it for decades after I stopped riding it.  And following after in some sort of approximate order:

 

1965 Honda 305 Superhawk

1975 Kawasaki Z1B

1972 H-D FX kicker with 6" over tubes

1974 Honda CL175

1983 Honda V65 Magna

1985 H-D FXRS

1973 Kawasaki Z1A

1995 Kawasaki GPZ1100

1991 Honda CBR600F2 (still in the stable)

2008 Honda CBR1000RR

2007 Yamaha FJR1300

2009 Suzuki DL650 (still in the stable)

2009 Yamaha FZ1 (still in the stable)

 

Also a few dirt bikes along the way:

 

1971 CZ 360

1991 Kawasaki KDX200

1996 Honda XR250R

2002 KTM MXC200

2008 Suzuki DRZ400
