What was your first motorcycle?

Mine was a 2005 Yamaha V Star 1100 Classic. It was a good bike to learn on. Not as heavy as the Harley's I have ridden. Bought it used & I didn't have a motorcycle license so a friend of mine drove it home for me. Drove it around the neighborhood for a few days, took the written test along with the driving test & got the license. Sold it after I bought a 2010 Road King new in 2011.

1971 Honda SL350.
When I met my wife (in '73) it was my only mode of transportation. Picked up my wife for a date. Her mom said "No Way!" Through me the keys to a brand new bright blue Caddy Sedan De'ville! Sold the bike and bought a car the following week. Truth is I was tired of showing up for college classes soaking wet anyway.
Bike free until 2005 then a Road King Custom and now a Super Glide Custom.
