Your First Love?
So, at one point or another, one motorcycle has to peak interest, and make you the motorcycle fan that you are today. Whether it was a motorcycle your dad had when you were a kid, or a bike your friend had in highschool that you wished you had, or just something you saw in a magazine.... what was your first motorcycle love???? Pictures are welcomed!
Mine had to be a 2003/04 CBR600RR that I saw when I was back in HS. It definitely got me interested in sport bikes, and eventually racing.

1979(?) Honda CR250 Elsinore.
My brother had one when I was a kid. My dad had plenty of street bikes, but none had the cool factor of the 'smoker to me.

Id wanted a hurricane 600 for years before I rode. Pure luck I found one for cheap when I first started looking. Still wish I hadn't sold it, but the hawk should be as much fun or more when its done

The Hurricane 600 was probably my first but since my best friend said he would only buy that bike and we both wanted a bike but didn't want the same thing I went for this.
Kind of ugly to look at now but at the time...late 80's...I fell in love with...The Ninja 600R !! I later owned a CBR 600 F2 and an F3. Last edited by z06boy; 06-30-2010 at 01:28 PM.. |

I was totally a katana fan back in the mid 90s, dude up the street from me had one and I thought it was the shiznit. Then I started riding and finally rode one, found out it was crap compared to the sport bikes of the time.

Always been around motorized bikes of some sort but when I was younger this one had me hooked. Also, a friend of my brothers had an '85 or '86 Ninja that I loved.

I really wanted an F4i when I first started riding when I was looking for my first bike, but never really lusted after a bike til the white 600rr came out in 07.
