    Right thought it would be good to hear what everyones first bikes were.....

    Mine was a 1979 Motori Minarelli - Mini Arrow that I got as a 4th birthday present in 1980, i've still got it and am currently restoring it back to it's former glory..... can't wait to finish it.

  17. My first bike was a Kawasaki Z750

    Just out of interest GMF was there a massive difference between the gsxr 750 to the daytona. I wanted a gsxr over the daytona because of more power but I never rode one as the insurance was far too much, so I ended up with my 675 which im glad I did now as I bloody love it.

    But I'm just interested in what you thought about the gsxr with owning it then having a daytona.
