TL1000R was my first bike, if you know your going to be serious, get something you like or in 6 months your going to be looking for something bigger. And last month after 2 years i got my CBR1000RR. And I am loving it!!!!!

 

My first bike was a 00 gixxer 750. I wouldn't have gotten rid of it if I hadn't gotten hit by a car. It helps that the parents gave me a substantial amount of cash to pay for this one as a graduation present too.(COLLEGE not High School) Oh, no regrets on the buy either. I like this thing way better than the suzuki. It handles better, to me, and has unbelievable low and mid range power. I haven't went past 6k rpm, well once, due to proper break in. I'm taking it easy on it until I get past the first oil change, then I'm still not going to be hard on it until over 1k miles.

 

Hey all you 1000 riders... God rockets are a blast, eh????
Back in the day... a 72 Norton 750 combat comando barn find. damn near killed myself so many times.. hardest part was try'n to stop putt'n my foot down in the corners, cause of my open class mx background !!!!!!!! kz1300, gs1100, vf1000f, 860 gts duc, cbr1000f, gsxr1100... wheeee!!!!!!!! I love 'em big and fast !!!!!!!!!!
But i've got to say in retrospect... I should have really try'd to LEARN how to ride a bike properly!!!!!!!! I't would have been much easy'r and safer TOO. I used to use Jesus as a brake'n marker, way to often..."slow down, my son "!!!!!!!!!!!! ,white robes and everystuff !!!!!!!! To all learning... look everyplace you can to find wisdom and therory...Everyday, I try to learn more... and the more I understand... the more, I'm able to practice, ponder, absorb the larger picture. This is truely the joy of the sport we have chosen. This forum has taught me much... THANKS, to all that have a hand in my future. My beast friend... a teachable spirit, that alows me to learn more and enjoy, what has truely become, a lifes "love", for me.
Take it easy, lots of time to go way fast, learn smoooth, and the control subtulty's, that make it so much safer and enjoyable, for all envolved. Get good gear, and wear it proudly, even when others don't. This is a sport that can pay off in so many ways... have'n made a better person of me, manifold. Your future... looks great !!!!!!!!! Clean and freeeee, Ripp'n

 

G'Day all,
I from Melb Australia and my first bike was back in 99' it was a 96' blade 900rr. had it for a few months then money probs came and she had to go. Then at the start of 06' bumped into a couple mates down at an industrial estate practising monoing, I just had to have one of those new blades and the very next day bought my self a 1000rr 05' had it for just over 6 weeks and dropped it trying to change gears while monoing. fixed it and 06' 1000rr came out at the same time. Just had to have the 06'. traded up and been loving it ever since. Was contemplating a GSXr1000 K6 but I am so glad I got the 06' Blade instead. The new bike is sooo much more responsive and turn in is sooo soo much quicker... cnt get enough don't know why it took me sooo long to get back on a bike....? so much time wasted when I could of been riding!!!!!

Hehe...my first bike was a Honda CT110 trail bike. Got a Honda V45 Magna after that. Stepped up to a 1990 CBR600 after that. Bought an 04 CBR1000RR a little over a year ago. But here is my list of Hondas that I have owned...

1. ATC110
2. CT110
2. ATC200X
3. V45 Magna
4. ATC350X
5. CBR600R
6. ATC250R
7. TRX250R
8. CBR1000RR

Me thinks I like the Hondas. They have always had the best fit and finish of the big 4 Japanese companies. I still own the TRX250R and the CBR1000RR. They are both keepers...the best that Honda made for the dirt on 4 wheels and the best that they make for the street on 2 wheels.

 

I have an 06' 1krr. I have 6132 miles on her already. Can't get off... So bad that I sold my sup'd up honda 92 civic. More money for mods... I pad a couple of bills first. BUt now going mod crazy.... It's an awsome bike.

 

my first bike is what i have now which is an 05 cbr1000RR. ive only been riding for about 2 months now. i didnt wanna settle for anything less.

 

My first bike is a 06 1k have not looked back since.

 

Me too!!!
