'75 Honda XL100. New for $535 in '76. The first bike I ever rode. Eventually I progressed to running it really really hard. Shifted when it stopped making power, probably when the valves started to float. Spun the main bearing at 1200 miles. Sold it and moved up to a '76 XL250. A great first bike experience.

Geez I thought I was fairly large at 6 feet and bouncing around 210. Here is a pic to make y'all wax nostalgic. Rode it last weekend. Got 55 MPG last time I checked but I ride it very easily since it is 41 years old. Sat from 1983 to 2011. One previous owner who always kept it in the same garage until I bought it at 40 years age. Just about to pass 6000 miles, had 4718 when I got it. One picture is it sitting with my 87 Rebel and 87 Yamaha SRX250, both pretty rare birds, running on antique plates. The 71 CB 350 has an original VA 1971 tag.

regards

Not technically mine, but my Dad's (which is in my garage and he has no liscense) 1965 Honda 65. Its not in as good of shape as this picture, but its not horribly far from it. I've ridden it a few times. Its currently not running though.





Technically my smallest bike would be my current and only bike I've ever owned, a 1981 Honda CM400e. Its also not currently running well.
