What has been your smallest motorcycle?

[IMG][/IMG]

Great mileage, but not too comfortable.

This was slightly better:[IMG][/IMG]

Admittingly, at 6 4", I couldn't help but look a little silly on these!

Couldn't get 2nd pic larger, but it is a Honda MB5 sport bike, a 50 w real suspension, and all!

Yamaha 125 Enduro. It was actually my Dad's, but at some point, he just let me have it. Currently I don't have a motorbike, but my wife's scooter is a 125cc Vino.

Mine is Teresa (BMW F650CS). She's my first bike, the smallest and biggest at once

OK, I ride Ciliegia (my girlfriend's Hyosung GV250) occassionally. But my smallest bike is Teresa.

I've had a handful of 50cc mopeds but my smallest motorcycle is 100cc Honda CB100 and a CL100, both are decent motorcycles that feel like slightly scaled down motorcycles, topping out at 55mph or so.
I still have the CL100 and a CB125.

Smallest- Two bikes tied at 400cc, Yamaha XS and Kawasaki KZ

Biggest- '94 1340 Harley Superglide

Fastest(irrelevant)- '78 KZ1000( scared the $hit out of me!)

Best Mileage- '94 Superglide @ 43mpg... probably because I would get on it and just cruise.

Smallest bike I've owned, is a Honda XR100 used for Mini Road Racing and Hare Scrambles. No matter how meany times I droped it, it just kept on ticking. Instaled high compresion big bore kit to get 12:1 compresion ratio and 115cc. I still have the bike but rarely is it used. I some times let the kids of friends ride it around in the dirt.

Years ago in my college years I acquired cheap and non-running cars and motos for use and quick resale. I acquired 2 Benelli 125 cc 2-strokers for about $25 each. Fun little bikes that I rode around a lot , then sold them for a few hundred bucks. Very simple machines, no batteries; magneto kick start only. Those were the days.

I've only had a Suzuki GSX 750 - the naked one that didn't make it to the States - smallest and biggest bike at the same time.
