How old were you when you first started riding a motorcycle? What make/displacement was your first?

12, i had 1971 Yamaha HT1, a small street bike.

I started riding and driving motorcycles when I was around ten years old. My friends all lived on farms and all had motorbikes or three wheelers. We used to go out on the farm and just drive all over the place. It was quite fun in the middle of winter in minus 40 degree weather out booting about on three wheelers.

13 Honda qa50, been building and riding motorcycle's34 year's. Current bike, I do all my own work, from paint to machining and building frame's.

my dad bought us kids a honda trail 70 when i was maybe eight or nine, i crashed it the first time i drove, if dad hadn't grabbed me off of it in time i would have crashed into the tree. the bike did but was fine.

I was twenty-six years when I started riding and my first bike was a new 1967 BSA Spitfire Mark III 650cc.(click to expand)

When I bought my first one, the year was 1967. I was 14 and the motorcycle was 21. It was a 1946 500cc Triumph Speed Twin, similar to the one in the photo but not in as good shape.

I was probably about 13 or 14 when I got a Honda 3-wheeler. The ones with the balloon tires and no suspension. ATC185s I do believe. First street bike was a 1982 Honda Nighthawk 650.

The first bike I owned was a 500cc. I actually learned on a 2 stroke 250 that felt way more powerful... I've ridden bigger occasionally and would buy at least a 750 I think if I got another one. (or a 2000watt electric with a playing card in the spokes :-) so I still get the engine sound)

Depends on what you classify as a motorcycle. I had a Bonanza 50cc mini bike when I was 8 years old. After that I had a Honda qa50, and a Chaparral 80. By the time I was 12, I was riding a 125cc Hodaka. At the age of 16, I had a motorcycle license, and a Honda CL350. By my late teens, I had graduated to a Honda CB750.
