dave d started this thread, but It got 'lost a bit' over Christmas, so hope he doesn't mind, if I start it again, Memory lane starts here, post pictures of your early bikes, it has probably been done before, but I have just got a scanner, and have been able to scan some pictures of my early bikes, onto my comp. View attachment 17285 This was my 3rd bike, I bought it within 8 weeks, of passing my test, on a Honda 250 Super Dream, in 82/83
My first was a Yamaha WR250x, then an Aprilia SXV 550 then a ZX10 and soon to be blade Ohhh and my scooter when I was 16, Yamaha Aerox.
Kawasaki AR50 first road bike loved it, 40mph flat out everywhere!! Before that a really old puch moped used to fly round my parents garden!
I know you lot are going to laugh but mine was a 1982 MT5 but I did put a 65 kit, racing reeds & full Giannelli on it so I could take on & beat the DT50 gang
First one was a non runner Ap50 followed by the love affair with Yamaha. FS1E Dx T reg in maroon with front disc.Kept it for a few years then put a yb100 engine in it.Regularly raced round the streets of Twydall with the lads as a teenager.Then onto Rd125 twin Rd200 Rd250dx Rd350lc.
I don't have pictures of my first bike, we didn't have camera's back then but it was a Yamaha RD200 twin like this one (yeah drum brakes too)
I had a Yamaha DT 50 with an 80cc kit and larger rear sprocket I'm sure it was faster than the blade lol I crashed it loads mostly off the back wheel (normally with a female audience) came off on some white lines and drain covers too. I was just everywhere on full throttle and trashed the poor thing!
I think you have as much chance as a fart in a gale mate. There are many in that queue for this bike if he ever sells that beaut.
these pics do make her look alot better than she is though .....still.................. we will never be parted i'm afraid
My first Fizzie 1976 Had some Yamaha RD's and LC My first 'big bike' 1978 GS750EC Also had one of these. GPZ1100
Love the flares beckers hehe. Mine first bike was a mbx50, had the smallest rear sprocket and was geared to 70 crazy! Sold it as couldn't get on with it for a dt50 which was ace!
My first bike was the Suzuki TS50X bought it brand new from motorcycle city in Reading when they were still around, I put a big bore kit and changed the exhaust and sprockets must have done 10,000 miles in just over a year on it
