Re: first bike you ever owned or rode?
First bike I ever rode on was a pre-65 250cc DOT trials bike, sitting on the petrol tank as my old man rode round the back garden
Also liked sitting on his Norton 750 Commando making BRUMM BRUMM noises! First bike I ever rode myself was the very same DOT trials bike in the yard and field behind the house. First road bike was a trusty Honda H100SD, followed by a Suzuki GS500 and finally my ZXR400H (which incidentally has just passed it's MOT!!
)

"good" is a matter of opinion...its a 90's bike...styling is purely up to you, but its a nice bike, dont make it look like some wannabe-toad-looking-need-for-speed-ricer-pile-of-crap...

Re: first bike you ever owned or rode?
First bike i owned and rode was my 2006 Aprilia RS50, and i loved it, blew it up once and somehow blew all the electrics.....and amazingly the 1 year i had at the age of 16 i never crashed or dropped it

Re: first bike you ever owned or rode?
First bike l rode was a dt 125 on rough ground it was a blast enjoyed every minute of it
then after 15 years l got the bug again, started again with a ns125r which was stolen
replaced it with a ns125f which i rebuilt after failing the mot on to a nsr frame. l gave it away when l got hold of a new ajs-cr3 125
i currently have a zx400g which might be leaving me for a zzr 600 in the near future

Re: first bike you ever owned or rode?
Mine was a Honda XR125, looking at the picture it brings me right back to being 17 and the excitement of when it first got delivered.
Loved riding to school on it and thinking I was far more superior to all the 2stroke scooterists, which was obviously true.
Probably crashed it about 3 times but certainly glad I got all that out my system at the time.

Re: first bike you ever owned or rode?
First bike I rode was the Kawasaki ZX12. Never believed on starting small until then. First bike I owned was a 2008 Hyosung GT250. Good bike but I got sick and tired of rebuilding its motor every two months. Now I am on the zx400g
