Bit older than my first bike i was the heady age of 14 when i took ownership of a beat Suzuki GP100 that served a field bike! great to learn sliding about on old hard road tyres on wet fields and mud!
Still the best fun bike i ever had!
Had a few bikes over the years
Suzuki RF600 - Heavy but comfy and described as the slowest 600 ever made haha
Suzuki SV650s - Early carb bike great fun gen of a motor and a frame that was scary at times.
Honda CBR600F4i - Marvel of engineering, could never do it justice, had way more speed and cornering ability than I ever will.
Suzuki SV1000 - Only lasted a few months scared me off bikes for years!
15 year break son wanted a bike and foolishly took on a 'project' Yamaha Fazer 600 when I was teaching him, has never been out the garage since first rides as exhaust studs sheared off and carbs need cleaned etc etc
