Not counting all the dirt bikes. My first street bike was a 1972 Suzuki GT750 (Water Buffalo or Kettle) that I bought back in 1976. It is long gone of course. However I just picked up a 1976 GT750 to restore to running condition. This one only has 16,000 miles on it and has been sitting in a garage for 15 years. I am looking forward to getting this one back on the road.

Kawasaki 90 (don't know the year) dirt bike when I was a young teen.

My first street bike was a '96 Honda Magna Deluxe.
