I took my test on an S3 400 triple badged as a 250 at 17, things were a bit slack regarding legality in Cornwall, one guy in the village rocked up to school on a BSA A7 when he was 16. :)
Much the same in Suffolk, my GT185 pretended to be a 125

Yeah likewise. I rode a Yam YR5 350 dressed with side panels from a YDS7 250 while on a provisional licence. Whatever you could get away with!

:) Me three- my RD250A had a complete 350B top end and carbs set up ( from the 8th finishing bike in the 1976 proddy TT no less 8-) ) from the first time I rode it on the road as a 17 year old - I was working at the dealer who built the bike from age 11 so used to get loads of lovely stuff and unlimited workshop time- Happy days! :)

I suppose I should hold my hand up as well.

Passed my test on an RD400 badged as a 250.

My RD50 was actually a FJ1100 with different stickers.

And I rode if from when I was 13, after having full sex with the babysitter.

Well, we lived in the middle of the road in a shoebox, and I had 2 strings attached to the hamster wheel to tow me on my roller skate to work
