My first minibike was a Harley Shortster!! (Thus, my love of 2-strokes!) 65cc of pure fun that would eat my friend's Honda 70 for lunch.
Got the H-1B (euro version) after college. Picked up a Husqvarna 390 (back in the days when real men rode steel framed 2-strokes) Moved up to a Honda 750F, 900F, '86 Suzuki GSXR 750, and finally to the '95 ZX9R. Still have the H-1 and the 390. I ride those on my suicidal days....
That's a great looking Wombat!! Always wanted one of those, along with a Penton Jackpiner!!

 

My first real motorcycle was a 1964 250 Honda scrambler, got it in 1965. But before that I rode a Moped around Seattle, not the kool kind that you could shift the kind you had to petal to start,

 

1979 Honda XL 185 S

 

Mine was a 72 Kawi H-2 750 Triple (2 stroke).
I was 19 and what a handfull !

 

You or the bike?

 

I would have hurt myself on that rocket with my mentality at the time.

Hi Shootgun
Mine was a green Honda ss50 which i brought in 1979 when i was 16 i thrashed it, i thought i was Barry sheen lol
About 4 months on surprise surprise i seized it so my dad and me stripped it down and fixed it.
Great fun happy memories.

 

My first bike was a 1979 Honda XL100S. This was in 1982. That also was my first big crash It died after a night of high speed hooliganisms with a very hot blond. Go faster she kept saying 50 was it.

 

AJS 500 twin when I was at colledge. My mother had lots to say about that. Then a Suzuki Bearcat, Dt250 ,various ITs and KTMS and finally at an ancient age ZX6rs.
