RE: WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST BIKE?
Nice pink accents fireball.. I did the same with my 05 Tribal and I'm looking for blue rim tape to match... post more pictures when you get time, I'd like to see full size images of your work.
My first bike had to be a 84 (I believe) Honda 50r, then onto the XR80R. From their I stepped up to the CR125. Next open class CR500 which was boring, had way more fun on the 125. For street rides, I've rode everything in my family from Shadows 750 and 1100, Goldwings 1500 and 1800... First street bike with my name on the title was my 86 ZX600R (sorry... yes I rode a cow). I still have it and I'm rebuilding it for nostalgia. My present ride, 05 CBR600RR black/tribal.

My first bike is my current 2004 F4i. I bought her a year ago on the 17th of this month (Oct)!
These pics taken the night I bought it as soon as we got home from the dealer.... 10-17-04 and a total of 19 miles
No plans on changing bikes anytime soon for me, I love my F4i
1 year and 30,000 miles later, and not one single breakdown or repair, and me and the bike are still kickin'! This one taken about 3 weeks ago

ORIGINAL: fireball
This is my first bike, and is still my bike as I'm nearing the end of my first season.
Had to had a few personal touches to really make her mine....and to match the pink helmet~!

RE: WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST BIKE?
uh oh....
My first post.
My first 'bike' was a 1973 Yamaha 100 LT3.
Older friends had more fun on it but the beginning of my MC experience.
My first streetbike was a 1978 Kawasaki KZ400.
...and I had a string of these
My last dirtbike was a 1986 Honda CR250.
Best girlfriend I ever had.
My last streetbike was a 1998 VFR 750.
ok, too heavy for its looks. Crashed it on the highway.
My current bike is a 2005 Suzuki DRZ400SM.
LIGHT, NIMBLE, 50 MPG FUN!

THEN
a street-legal single-cylinder single-speed step-through TVS 50 cc moped
top speed 35 kmph (20 mph) ... i could ride circles around myself on my bicycle !
economy ... ? 125-135 mpg (approx - could be higher)
no money for gas ? no problem - use kerosene instead ! ;-)
NOW
stock black '04 cbr1000rr (except for lights and fender eliminator)
