My First Bike was a Trail 70, what was yours?

[vfrocket]

My first bike was a Honda Trail 70. I wish I had kept it, I hear they are worth alot now.

This guy's identical twin.

For someone of my size (or lack thereof), a terrible first bike (especially because the steering head bearings were shot, and I didn't know it).  I'm surprised I never dumped it.

Traded it for an '00 GS500E.

1992 Honda Z50R

I got it for Christmas brand new when I was 6 years old. I miss that thing. I really wish I never sold it.

Damn.  Beaten by 10 minutes to declare my GS500 is also my first bike:



At least, it's the first one with a motor and transmission.  

[RVertigo]

My first bike looked a lot like this:

Oh wait... That is it.

The first bike I road was a '68 Yellow Honda 90.      Even though it wasn't mine, I put about 200 miles on it.

I thought they were all one color (in the US anyway) -- Metallic Abyss Blue.

bought it for 150 bucks in a box and built it myself.  I should clean the carbs and break it out again.

1978 Honda XL100

Rode it for a while then completely tore it apart.  Repainted and cleaned everything, put it back together.  Got it in like 1990? just sold it a couple years ago, pulled it out of the garage after a few years of sitting, fired up after a couple kicks.

It was almost exactly like this one I found on the web.... minus some mud. :lol:

THEN!  You should ship it to me!  That thing is SWEEEEEEEET!!!

1965 Yamaha YG1:  80cc 2-stroke, 4 speed, 1st year with oil injection, 45+mph downhill



Got it from my grandpa, sitting in his shed for 30 years, then my dad and I brought her back to life. I rode it to work some for a summer and always to classes that fall (2 years ago).  I miss that bike

[Blingmasta]

My first bike:


got it when I Was in fifth grade. I asked for a cd player for christmas--I got that instead. My life would be much less awesome I think if I had gotten that cd player.

[jake42]

That bike was the precursor to mine.  Mine's a 1967 YCS1 180.  2 stroke oil injection.  Haven't ridden it in two years because the injection tubes rotted.  I'm gonna disconnect the autolube injector and run it on 32:1 premix.

Mine was a 1980 Honda CM400T. My neighbor gave it to me for free!!!   I still have it and it should run. Learned to ride myself and wrenched on it myself and brought it back from the dead. (never worked on a motorcycle before that in my life)
Gotta break it out someday soon. Anyone want to buy it???
