Re: Your First Bike?
My first (learner 50cc) was a Garelli Record. Had 6.5 bhp, right foot gearchange, and was that little bit faster than an FS1E (but oh so crude in comparison). Registration was OHO 81 L.
Proper next bike was the Suzuki GT250M RamAir jobbie. Reg was HJT79N. Had 32 bhp so was really something. Passed my test on that one.
PS Yes, I am old!

Mine was a Honda CB100N EEU866W
Followed by CB250 Super Dream CFB 20V.
Slightly later registrations because I'm not as old as some
Why can I remember registrations from 25 yrs ago but I can't remember what I had for tea last night?
