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!

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:
 
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.

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.

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.

Then i had a CX500.

Then I had a 73' CB750

Then i was without bike for years :(

Then i bought my first Oldwing about 7 years ago, a 86' GL1200I
