Re: What was your first motorcycle?
Actually, I 'spose my first bike was my "monkey bike" that my dad got me when I was about 8 ! I then had a DT50 and KX80 both off road, but first road bike was the RX50

GP100 for £275 – liked blowing holes in pistons and engine covers!
Could have started on a 250 but wasn’t enough time to pass my test before the rules changed.

Re: What was your first motorcycle?
Had a gilera runner 50 for two months, but first motorbike was a Derbi Senda SM125 supermoto...looked great but struggled to hit 60mph
Stuck a spuddy on the back and used to go green laning which was interesting!
Bikeless again :/
