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.

DT50 with YZ80 engine fitted.
Then an RD125 with the 250 engine in there.

The Mighty FS1e!

Puch VZ50 2 speed gear change on the left hand handle bar like a scooter. Pedel backwards for the rear brake. Rack as standard and lockable compartment under the seat/tank Followed by brand new RD250E in white and red.

Oh the shame..

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

Zxr400 then a thundercat

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

My first bike was a Honda CB250K4. I have no pictures of it and the less said about it the better.

1976 yellow fs1e-dx.

1978 Yam RD250E in silver...

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.

It was free, ok

Ok, this was officially a bad choice.

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

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.
