What was the first bike you ever owned? Mine was a 1972 sl 70 and I still have it to this day. Actually have two of these but other than the 500 being my favourite. I have fond memories of the 82 YZ 125 i owned at 13 and only being a 120 pounds it took everthing i had to hold on to the red and white pig.

First "real" bike was a 1982 XR200 with dual shocks. But I had a mini bike that I thrashed out on that I got when I was 5. My Xr200 is peacfully resting in a shallow unmarked grave at my parents house.

HONDA MINI-TRAIL 50. IT WAS A BLAST.

2002 cr250

Rupp Scrambler, it was my dads when he was a kid. I'm still waiting on him to get in the barn and snap some pics when the snow is gone. Every time I go back north I pull it out and ride it around!

77' JR 50

the day I got it.......

First bike was a '98 YZ250, but I only had it a few months prior to selling it and picking up my CR500. I've picked up a minibike, a CRF70, and a CB550 since then though.

I'm still pretty new to 2 wheeled excitement.

MINE WAS A 250 HARLEY DAVIDSON SPRINT 1966 GOT IT WHEN I was 10 years old before that it was a tocko mini bike been riding on and off for 37 years
got like 10 cr500 now 4 of them on nitros.
that dont mean shit

who rides still to this day ???

Mine was a Gilera rt fun 50cc,this is the original bike and the second was my "conversion"












Here before the supermoto conversion,in the start line of an enduro race,that was my real first bike,bought it in 1994 this race was in 1997:





supermoto conversion:

My first bike was a 1976 Honda XR75. I was in the 6th grade back then. My second bike was a 1975 Yamaha DT400 enduro that my dad gave me in 1980. I slapped a set of full knobbies on it and stripped everything off except the headlight, horn, and brake/tail light. That's all that was required for it to be street legal back then. I rode that fucker everywhere.

My first bike was a DRZ400 that I bought in 03. Does that make me a card carrying homo?

Actually I parted out and ebayed the whole thing for my AF project.

First bike I rode was a Honda CT Trail 70. Whem my dad caught me jumping the thing he went out and bought a Honda XL 75. The first bike I owned was a Honda XL 600 in 85. I loved both of those XLs I could ride wheelies for ever.

I had a silver Yamaha GT80 back in '78 or so. My first MX bike was a '79 CR125 (the one with the 23" front wheel). That one was a new leftover that we bought in '81 or '82.

I had a indian moped when I was about 12. My first dirtbike was a 74 yz80. It got left at my uncles when I was about 15. When he passed 3 years ago I went to go get it but some tweekers stole it

My first was a 1978 Honda XL75, I got it in 1979 when I was 13. My first real dirt bike was a 79 YZ100, I think that was in 1981. I also remember having a 1973 Yamaha SC500 but didn't use it much, I think I was scared of it. I thought it was a MX360 when I bought it.

I started driving a street bike when I was 15 and never had a dirt bike again until last year. I bought a 2008 Husqvarna TE450 but barely used it either. Hopefully I will use my Gen 3 CR500 conversion a lot this year.

My first bike was a 91 cr 125.I had it for several years and when I started to get bigger than the bike I started looking for something else. Then I bought an xr 400 thinking I would like the 4 stroke better. A week later I bought my CR500.

73 Yamaha MX80 in 78 I think. My Dad and I fixed it up to sell and by another and did that a couple times till I got a nice enough bike to actually go ride. Buy for $100 sell for $200, buy for $200 sell for $300 and so on. Actually had a 75 Trials 80 which was cool for me cause of the low seat and it was quite so I could ride it in the front yard. Ended up with a 75 XR 80 for a while till I thought I needed a 78 YZ 80. Not fun to ride trails on then....... Dad hit a keno ticket 6/6 for $1480 and bought me a 85 XR100 brand new and rode that till the tires fell off. There was a Yzinger 50 in there somewhere too which I wish we still had but that was just a $$$ maker, I was too big for it!

My first was a 73 Indian 50cc 2 stroke. I loved Caster oil back then, that's why I love 927 now, the smell just means dirt bikes to me.

'70 at-1 125 with the ct-1 175 jug street legal too

First bike was a Honda four-stroke moped with the motor embedded in the back wheel. Did about 30 mph flat out and fell to bits thus convincing parents to loan me money for Yamaha FS1-E moped.



I rode this to school as a teenager. Lots of power, no brakes and a frame made of re-cycled rubber bands.



First dirt bike - 1978 Suzuki RM250C2.

1980 Suzuki JR 50
