Re: What was your first bike?

Mine was a Susuki GP 100 and I loved it

I was 17 and any transport was great, of course I wanted a water cooled TZR125 as it had the looks but unfortuanatley I did not have the pockets!

I did everything to get an extra mile per hour out of it, In the end I found out that all I needed to make it a 125 was a pistson barrel and head, I made the changes and loved it some more.

I even drove it to Wales on a family holiday from the midlands, it took hours and the hills were mind numbingly slow but apart from a puncture in Welshpool it never missed a beat.

I have fond memories of my GP and it is one of the main reasons I am doing my test later this month.

For a pic follow the link, not my bike but it is the right color

I cant add pics yet but just type 'Susuki GP125' into goole images, it was blue
