Didn't have one when I was 18 :( My first go on a powered two-wheeler was when I was about 15 on a Dutch Broemfitse, but I was 20-something when I got my first bike, an MZ125 at a time when lots of my mates had Fizzies, alias Yam FS1Es.
After off road riding on an old field bike. My first taste of road riding was on a Fizzy (purple fizzbomb) FS1E. Then I was hooked and plenty more makes and models followed 😃
I was a late comer at 27. Suz Gs550e, till the electrics fried. Then a Suz Gs1000e, till engine blew up. After that a Bandit, till it went hit a tree.......
My first bike was a Yamaha DT. I have recently been trying to find another for sale in decent condition. Has anyone else thought of picking up a bike they had at a young age or their style/year of first bike?
