2000 : My first bike was Suzuki Fiero 150cc, Electric Blue clocked 50k and sold it recently to upgrade to P220. Bike did pretty well thgoughout ~50 kmpl, I must say I loved the revs and Enigne was pretty good.
2009 : Honda Activa, Steel Grey 6 months back and doing pretty well..
2010 : Booked Pulsar 220 'S', Silver Grey just yesterday...

My first bike was a '98 model Yamaha RXG.

Had to get used to kick startin like crazy to get it moving.

It was a fun bike and gave cheap thrills and wasnt all that economical.

But i think it was the best i could get as an amateur rider.

Moved on to a Yamaha FZ now, but every now and then, if i get a chance, i try stealing a ride from anyone whos got an RX.

Cut my teeth on a Bajaj M-80 (Dunno if it falls under the "Bike" Category.
IN 1999 Dad got me a Yamaha YBX Has done 100000+ KM Since then and going strong.

First Bike I bought for myself was the RD350 HT in 2003 in my final year of college.

I have come a long way from 3 gears (M-80) to six (RD350)

heheheh

Scooty Pep in September 2004! Moved onto dad's Caliber for a couple of years before getting my FZ-16 in October 2008

I'm riding a black Bajaj Pulsar 200 DTSi since Jan 1st 2008. It was a gift from dad when I was in standard 12th. I have kept the bike stock except an additional KnN filter.
I'm looking forward to get a Ninja 250 as my next ride.

Suzuki SHOGUN, Whatta bike... Later moved on to Pulsar

The only bike I owned in my life was a Suzuki Samurai, during my college days. I had it from 96 to 97. It was sold off as I left for job abroad.

I liked the style of the bike, though the power was a bit average at around 7 or 8 BHP. It had an excellent FE for a 2 stroke engine at that time. The electricals were good too with bright head lights and loud horn.

TVS 50 (1985)-sold in 1995, Ind Suzuki (1987)-sold in 1996, Suzuki Samurai (1995) - sold in 2006. My friend had an Enfield Sherpa ages ago. Seemed like a 150cc bike to me. Does anyone own this?

SunnyBoi · 13th March 2010, 10:35

A Luna TFR in 2002 when I was 16. Got a RX135 5 speed a month before I turned 18. Learnt to ride a bike properly on that

Bought a CBZ later on, always felt disappointed whenever i rode the RX after the CBZ. Sold it off and added a RXZ into the garage. Now using a Honda NSR150SP.
