My first motorcycle. A red 1973 Honda CB350 Four. Had been stored in a barn for years. Paid $150 for it. Did not know much about motorcycles but was working as an automobile mechanic at the time. Drained the gas and put in a fresh battery and got it started. Learned to ride on this bike. Never laid it down or tipped it over. It was daily transportation for a while. Gas tank was so rusted it clogged up the fuel line a time or two. Wish I had know more about motorcycles at the time. Developed a bad oil leak and I parked it and sold it.
Dig the cool riding outfit in the ad!

A 1987 Suzuki Savage - put 40,000 miles on it before selling it for a Suzuki Volusia. After a few years of the v-twin, wised up and got the C-14.

I bought my first bike in 1973. It was a Kaw 350 triple. I was limited on how far I could go as it was like riding a pair of weed eaters. One in each hand. I owned it for a year before I got smart and bought a Z-1A. I still like the Z-1.

This 1968 Yamaha is the very first motorcycle I ever bought and learned to ride on. I paid a hundred bucks for it. Twin cylinder electric start 2 stroke, mine had no second gear, I had to wind it out in first then double shift into third. It left a stream of yamalube behind me like a jets contrails! Ah... my very first, (and last), 2 stroke... good memories!

Not exactly the Smartest bike for a total noob... but mine was an '83 Honda CB1100F
I remember pulling out of the owners driveway, popped a wheelie straight across the street (had a weak battery and I didn't want to struggle with starting it after a stall).
Dumb move #2? After 30 minutes chasing my roommate around an empty Walmart parking lot, we went to the bar.
d'oh... I was the ultimate squid, college kid, no gear (shorts and tank tops in the summer), frequented bars, hit 100mph+ the first night I had the bike, had female passengers within the first week (doing a ton)..... gads, I worked HARD to dump all the luck out of my luck bucket as fast as possible. Glad maturity kicked in before death caught me.

Honda 400 super sport, 4 cylinder, 1975. Followed by a CB 750 F 1981, both great bikes. Grew up on the 750 it was last bike I laid down until my C14 last week.

I always wanted one of those, but went with the VFRs instead. That the actual bike you had or just similar?
