What was your very first motorcycle. Got a picture?

My first motorcycle was a 1975 CL360 Honda & bought new in the crate in 1977 for $650.00.
I don't have any personal pic's of the bike.
Here is a exact duplicate of the bike I bought.

What was your first motorcycle?

My first was a 250 2 stroke Yamaha dirt bike. Fast bike.
My first street bike was a Honda CB360T, pretty much exactly like this one including the highway bars I added.
I don't remember it having a rack though.
Mine had the stock exhaust.

I guess my first "cycle was about a 62 Sears Moped similar to the attached picture. Before that I had a Cushman walk thru and a Cushman Eagle. Oops, I'm showing my age. The great thing about the Moped was if you ran out of gas, you could pedal it home like a bicycle. The good ol days.

My first and only bike before my wing was a brand new 1981 Suzuki GN400! Man that bike was great! Single cylinder 4 stroke, kick start with compression release and it got 72 MPG on average!

Hodaka ACE100. My first street bike was a Honda 90 step through. No training wheels, no sissy bar, and no pictures.

My first bike was a 62 honda 50, step through frame and after being ran off the road three times in El Paso Tx (Ft. Bliss) :heat: :rant: :rant: it was also my first dirt bike. :whistling: I gota tell you that 50cc is not fit for running in sand. :smilie_happy:

Harley "Hummer" 50 something model ....... think it was a 125...

Pictures? ...... they didn't make cameras back then did they? One of my relatives had some kind of box thing.

65 suzuki 150 twin 2 stroke s32....looked a lot like a honda dream

my first two motorized bike was a whizzer then went to cushman pacemaker, my first motorcycle was a honda 305 dream

First bike I bought was a Yamama 125 Enduro. Rode it for a couple of weeks, then cut the frame, and mounted the frame/engine onto a 3-wheel Cushman "go-cart". That's the vehicle I cut my finger off on. I do have some pics, but...they're painful for me to look at.... :smilie_happy:
After that came a 500 DOHC Yamama street bike w/fairing. Rode that thing for a couple of summers, then bought my '78 Honda 750 automatic, fully dressed. Sweet bike! Wished I still had it... :crying:
Now the '81 'Wing. :music:

My first bike was a 1975 CB360T same red color as in the video. I didn't have the highway bars but had a padded sissy bar on the back. Bought it back in my high school days. Tore that baby down to the crank to rebuild it. Never had a manual for it, just tore it down and learned how to put it together.

My first was a 76 Harley Roadster.

That's highly unusual in the US, wasn't it?
I had GN400 once. Mod'ed as a chopper look-alike. It was fairly rare in Japan also. I have never seen any one but myself riding it in person.





My first bike was 1978 Honda CB50JX-1 factory "cafe". :hihihi: Can't believe I don't have any personal photos with her.

There were not that many, but they sure were affordable! (Compared to a Wing back then :hihihi: )

When I was in Guatamala in 2007, the GN series bikes are everywhere (brand new too!)

The first I owned was a blue version of this.


I traded it for one like this that needed forks and other repairs.

Hey Slabghost, that Yamaha that was your first looks exactly like my first bike, except mine was white! 1969 125 enduro :good: :good:
