I started on a knackered CB160, a CB125 was beyond my dreams!

My first bike was a Suzuki Stinger T125 and I wish I still had it :(

Welcome Mike ... you are amongst good folk here .... My 1st bike was a C200 90cc Sports and then CD175A sloper :) Funnily enough never had the slightest urge to get a C200 again to restore.(The girls at my school and at my Saturday job used to joke that it was 'all bike and no engine compared with my mate's RE Crusader Sport 250cc )... Sloper's a different matter though and I am restoring one this summer!

I think i can claim to have started on the most embarrassing first bike at 16, a 1952 Motobecane Mobylette.[attachimg=1]
and then progressed?? to a sports tiger cub followed by a new CB72.

Variable primary drive via belt and expanding pully.
Didn’t go too well in the wet as the belt slipped.

A Raleigh Runabout was more or less the same machine.

Yes your spot on there Steve, belt slipping in the wet was it's most memorable feature, that and having to pedal up even the slightest gradient.
