sorry no pictures, but after the 1969 yamaha 125 enduro when i was 15, i bought my first street bike at 18, a 1980 KZ650 my parents cosigned my first ever loan and bought it for $500 :good: I had a lot of good times on that bike

 

[slabghost]

I have a couple of those old kz650's!

Then i had an 83 GpZ750 that was also a lot of fun, but a little too laid down riding position for very long rides

My first bike was a Hodaka 100 B dirt bike back in 1972. After that it wasa 175 Kaawasaki enduro and a 1964 BMW R50/2. Still wish I had them.

Not a pic of my bike, but mine looked a lot like this one. My first bike was a 1975 Suzuki 750 GT water buffalo, full dress. This was a 3 cylinder, water cooled, 2-stroke screamer of a bike. Even in full dress form, I used to pull away from 1000 cc bikes, at least till about 50 MPH! I do remember it was a cold blooded tempremental beast......

Interested ??? can E-mail me @ [email protected]

I imagine if gas price keeps going up you'll be doing lots of business.
Very cool!

My first bike wasn't quite as fast as 750 Suzuki oo any of the other bikes come to think of it but I still had a great time with it. It was a 1969 Hodaka 100B enduro bike. Sorry I don't have a picture of it.

I've given up trying to find a picture of my bike, but this is what I had: 1985 Suzuki GS550L. That thing was fun to ride, but as I started to, ummm... grow, it told me I needed another bike. The mono-shock was squeaking like a screen door every bump I hit. I bought it new in Virginia in 1985 and in 1996 I had to put it to bed when the threads on the main output shaft stripped and the front sprocket kept falling off. I wanted to rebuild the motor, but life got in the way. Oh the memories of that bike. :music:

I was delivering the Miami Herald in 63 from a bike, Spotted a box full of parts outside of a appartment complex, went back to collect and asked about the parts box, He said it was trash, so I give him 30.00 bucks for all. It was a 1960 Vespa!! Took it home and put it back together and RODE!!! Came back from seeing the Beetles get off of the plane and ran in the back of a 1961 Chevy, Oh well back to the Bikecycle!!

my first bike was a 74 kawaski 100 enduro rode it for a year then some old man pulled in front of me coming down the rode, almost got stoped before i hit the forktube on his bumper, locked up the fork. payed me $300 cash instead of calling the cops. Got a 73 yamaha tx500 and a used fork tube for the kawi with the money, rode the tx for 3 years then traded it for a 76 kz900z1 with turbo, scary fast bike! and the one i wish i still had.
