First road legal bike or two. ?
My first was a yellow fs1e-dx. Home from school and out on my 16th birthday. The new world had begun. It was my elder brothers who had moved on to a gsx 250 in red.
My second was a blue gp100. 17th birthday. More power, a better world. Engine blew and had to be rebuilt, but great days they were.

Re: First road legal bike or two. ?
I was a bit older than my mates when I started on bikes being in my early 20’s
So a KH250 was my first bike followed by an RD400E.
I may have sat and passed my test on one of the above

Re: First road legal bike or two. ?
My first road legal bike was the mighty Suzuki GS125ES ...... tucked away in my dads garage. This was the second one i had after i stuck the first one into the side of Ford Cortina at 50 mph putting the front wheel by the footpegs after 2 whole weeks of ownership....doh
Irony of the photo is that if i still owned both bikes in the picture the pedal one would worth a shitload more than the motorised one

DT50 MX, it lasted about a week. I detested that heap.
Then I had a thirteen year old FS1E (LHH709P) that I really liked, followed by a YB100 which I dunno if anyone remembers was a kind of big(er) engined Fizzy.

Re: First road legal bike or two. ?
It certainly was. I had one too, I'm surprised it didn't put me off bikes altogether. I sold it to a mate who managed to break it, the last I remember it was propped against the wall in his back yard. Might still be there for all I know.
If anybody knows the whereabouts of OTX 3L please keep it to yourself

Re: First road legal bike or two. ?
First was a blue TS50ER, 2nd was a Suzuki GT185 registered as a 125, so maybe not road legal, in which case that'd be the 250LC I bought after I passed my test, had an X7 before that, that I blew up before I rode it legally.
