If you count a moped as a first, then my fourth was a MZ etz 250...and don't laugh, it was an OK bike. Got me to work every day and never missed a beat. Like the others, I shouldn't have sold it....

A Suzuki AP5O at 16, GT250 at 17. Then passed test, brought an old Yamaha RD350 air-cooled model. That was fun but unreliable so went and got a GS750 which I had for a few years.

I've never been without a bike and at the moment own 7 of them.

somewhere inbetween the right and wrong

Was a 20yr old KH125

Remember out in it the day I passed CBT, some yob on a brand new CBR125 (and his scooter rising mates) were egging me on to race.

They clearly didn't know how nippy 2strokes are, or how much blue clouds they throw out

Mine was an RG250. I loved that bike but had to sell it to get a car. Managed to write it off in a car park in front of the prospective buyer. Insurance payout bought the car instead. A very sad day.

Honda MT50. Got it just before my 16th birthday.

I went everywhere on it rain or shine.

Had to remove the restrictive from it as it was deadly when trying to overtake things like JCB’s lol.
