What was your first bike? And what do you own now?

First bike was 2002 Ninja EX 500.

Just own my FZ6R now, sold my car off to my brother because he needed one but now he's thinking of getting a Ninja 250.

1989 Yamaha YX600 Radian. Basically, the FZ6R's predecessor by 20 years.

1st street legal xr(I think) 175 dualsport. Doing jumps and climbing hills one minute, on the street the next, fun times back in 1978.

92 Ninja 600R
Dropped it the first day at the end of the street at a stop sign, like 3 times. It was a bit scary to ride until I took the MSF course.

Had to delete my previous message because it somehow put a thumbs down in the title.

First time on a bike was on a Motofino 150cc scooter.
Rode a 80s model Honda Shadow I was storing for my dad.
First time on a bike for more than 20 minutes was in the MSF Basic Rider Course.
First bike I owned is my 2009 FZ6R.
The thrill and enjoyment of riding... priceless.

1967 Honda CB450 and I bought it in 1968. I was 16. She was top heavy,but rode like a Caddy. I used to run with friends that had 650 Bonneville Triumphs at that time. They were amazed that the Honda didn't leak oil like their British bikes.
