My first bike was one of these, came to me in pieces. Bought a stroker kit from Powroll and put it back together, had a lot of fun on that little bike.

I'd say this bike was the one that really was my official first bike. AT1-125. I didn't have to share it with my brothers. I took it apart and changed it a bunch of times. Repainted it to a silver frame and turquoise tank with white stripe. Bought a wrecked 175 and ditched the electric start for the 175 mag and barrel.
Stripped it for MX, expansion chamber, ported it, etc.... It's just what you did back then if you couldn't afford a Penton.

My first bike was a Suzuki 120, like 2LZ's except it was the dweeb normal street version, not the cool Scrambler version that Steve McQueen would have ridden.
My second bike was a '67 Honda CL77 305 Scrambler. My best friend in high school had one when I had the Suzuki, and I lusted for it so I got one myself. Looked just like this one. IMO one of the most beautiful 1960s Japanese motorcycles, along with the '69 CB750. But the coolest bikes overall back then were the Triumphs. By modern standards the CL77 was astonishingly crude. But back then, nobody knew any better. And it was fun to ride.

First bike was a KL250.. Went one teeth up on the front and I could get a good 77mph topend out of her, but damm, soon as she saw the slightest incline, speed would drop...
 Was an awesome bike, fond memories of her... After the Kawa, came the GSXR1100G. The bike which I should neva have sold, regrets to this day. I unfortunately don`t have a pic of the two of us together anymore.. I had a fall one night on the way the bikers church and had her sprayed over in a Jazz Blue colour with white rims.. Big mistakes, as those rims got dirty as you rode around the block

This was my first bike (that wasn't built for children). 1992 Dyno VFR. Always was a wanna-be BMXer/skater, but still have yet to be able to pop a bunny hop or drop in.
It was stolen off my driveway less than a year after I saved up lawnmowing money for the previous entire year. Seeing this photo still makes me sad
