My first bike, back in 1995 at the age of 12, was Yamaha. I don't remember the name but it was known as "Yamaha 100" with 100cc engine and owned by my dad. I had alot of fun on that bike
 
It's soo cool to see everyone's first bike. I am one of the younger riders who has grown up with the luxury of having fast street bikes to start with.

In 1983 lots of you guys were already in full swing as an adult riding your awsome street bikes. I was a little girl on her little Z50R wishing it was a road bike.

Heh, kinda funny but I could remember day dreaming about street bikes.
 
First bike was a Honda 305 Scrambler, then, I think, in this order;

BSA Goldstar 500 single (goldstar)
Triumph 650
BSA 650 (Lightning)
Ducati 250
Norton 850 (Battle of the twins bike)
Ducati Pantah (Wera, CCS, endurance bike)
Honda v4 (endurance bike)
Suzuki gsxr 1100 (endurance bike)
Ducati 748
Ducati 996S
Ducati 1098R
 
I grew up on a little island off of the coast of Alaska and my house was 14 miles from the nearest town. We had about 30 acres of land with a little dirtbike track that my dad carved out for his riding. I grew up riding in the mud and the dirt and in the ditch alongside the 2-lane that led to town. I rode in a gravel pit that was about a mile from my house. I used to ride the ditch there and back, but I admit, there were a few times when if I was sure no cars were coming, I would jump up onto the road and race hell for leather home on the road. funny what memories this thread has brought back. I started on a 1978 honda XR-75. for years I was sure that it was an 80. I still to this day thought it was an 80. But I called my Dad and he said "nope, the 80 wasn't out yet, I got you that beat up 78 for christmas of that year.". I loved that bike, I sold it to buy a bigger 2-stroke kawasaki when I was 7. THAT bike was a kx-80! Of that I am sure! I will never forget that thing spitting me off the back over and over when the powerband would ramp up!
 
My Dad got me pics of the 851 when it was first released from a press kit that we sent off for. I put that poster on my ceiling above my bed and I remember lying there with my older brother staring at that thing for hours and hours, talking about how one day when we were "rich" how we would both ride Ducatis. I am far from wealthy, but this is one dream that I chased down! It just took 30 years! Thanks for these memories Aeon, you ROCK!!!!
 
I had a collabaration of bikes when I was a kid, a 1985 atc70 3-wheeler, 1987 YZ 80, and also a kittycat articat snowmobile. I guess my dad was the man, my first road bike was a honda 350 hahah, that thing sucked almost died. Drove it like it was a superbike, that bad part is that it didnt stop at all on back roads.
