Re: The First Bike You Bought
Mine was a Puke (Puch) 50cc moped. I was 16 and it was amazing for about three days then it became woeful.
Re: The First Bike You Bought
My 1st bike, if you don't count the trike, was a Yamaha YBR125 which I bought *Way* back in March 2016.
About a month before that, I bought an XVS650 Custom Dragstar with a Reliant back axle, which I could ride on my car licence because I passed my car test back in 1980.

I was in the Army posted in Germany and came back to Ashford in Kent to do my Direct Access in 2000. When I passed I went straight back to Germany and ordered a new Honda CBR600FY. I shit my pants when I first took it on the autobahn! It's a bit more accelerative than a Suzuki GS500...

An orange CG125 just like the one in the pic here. I bought it for £50 and loved it!

Re: The First Bike You Bought
The dtre125cc I bought in 2008 from wigan yamaha only ever let me down once and that was in first week I bought it faulty battery they replaced same day I rang come out in a van was well happy bought it in 2008 pre registered in 2007 been sat in factory waiting for someone to by
I use to love the fact I could get the wheels gleaming like new after dirty in about over the lanes they use to gleam shame about the rest of the bike after few months it looked like it was years oldAll things built not bought . The only way is adventure .
