    Well finally sold my r6 today. I had picked up an xj about a month ago, with intentions to sell my r6 and make out with some spare cash.... well finally sold it today and made out pretty well. End of story. Just though I'd share and maybe ask what was your first bike...?

    first bike - 2007 kawasaki ex650, bought new, stolen a month before its first birthday, caught the guy who stole it, police refused to press charges because he gave them a fake bill of sale and they bought it. wouldn't even pursue posession of stolen property charges.

    second bike - 89 honda cbr 600 f1, barely rode it, sold.

    current bike is my 550 and i love the stupid thing.

    Mine was a 1971 Honda 750 K1, bought used in 1974. Quite a bike back then.

    First bike was a ninja 250, got it cheap, learned to ride, and sold it for a profit.

    (It's in my sig.) 1966 Honda CB160 Sport! The "!" was part of the name, it's not just punctuation. Considered a full sized bike in those days.

    Rode it for a summer, blew it up, rebuilt it and sold it at a slight profit. Not only my first bike but the first motor I ever rebuilt too.
