I started out on the front of my dad's CB350 Honda back in early 1970's then He got a 1975 Goldwing in 1978, By 1981 I was riding it on the street by myself as I had been riding my own 1974 Honda 90 on the street since 1978 and had by 81 gotten on the dirt with CR's MR's and Yz's...
I rode a 1984 Honda V-65 Magna 1100cc Monster wheelie machine, then a 1986 Yamaha FZX700 Fazer a sweet inline 4 with 5 valve per cyl that I should of kept! then a 1994 YZF750 Yamaha another one I shoulda kept..
then a 1995 FZR1000 Yamaha another keeper.....
then a 2002 R1...
then a 2003 Hayabusa...
then a 2005 GSXR1000 bad ass........but I missed the Busa
then a 2007 Hayabusa Limited...the last of the first gen, and Happy I did it knowing the next gen 08 would Require Premium gas and be less friendly to those with little money for go faster add on's.........

I rode a friends two stroke tripple 750 back in 1982 for a few weeks that summer what a blast that summer was...

I still want another 1986 Fazer
THE BIKE I MISS THE MOST AND SHOULD OF KEPT

Wow, definately going back in time on those....

I don't have digital pics.....
but my Dad came home with a new 69' Bonneville and took me for my 1st motorcycle ride. He then traded up for a BMW and then the orange Honda 750four. :laughing:
Parents got out of motorcycling after that.....

After a long pause, I took a friend of mines Honda 450nighthawk for a spin in 1987. A year later bought my 1st bike - 83' 650 NightHawk.
After almost not surviving that bike, I went on to an FJ1200, back to a 650NightHawk, 95' RF900(loved that bike almost as much as the nighthawk),
SV650, then current 03' 1K. :burnout:

I liked the looks of that Faser. :icon14: I Remember the mags talking about how advanced it was but for some reason it didn't catch on that much here in the States. :dunno: Maybe because at that time, the 600 'Hurricane' was coming to market....

Started out on a 1979 Honda cb400a similar to this one; :laughing: Hondamatic baby!

Stepped it up to a 2002 Busa I picked up from my uncle in '05. Only rode that one for 3 months before I realized it was a little to big for me and sold it. (Went from riding in the slow lane to driving a freight train. lmao)

Bought my '06 r6s from rosenau new 2 years ago (still making payments...).

Going from the Hayabusa to the R6 must of been a shock, and a blessing.

Well, I'll contribute.. :)

Here is my first bike.. bought it in 2005 from the original owner. It's a 1981 Honda CB750C. Came just as you see it with the drag bars and V&H's exhaust. The only thing I did was add a baffle to that exhaust because the week I bought it I rode down to southern Ohio and almost went deaf. Called V&H and had them next day me a baffle while down there! LOL!
