A lot of people ask WHAT would be a good FIRST BIKE? And people come up with many different answers.

But I wonder how many people here started with smaller bike and moved on to a bigger bike... (Except for VERM, who started Big and went backwards..... j/k )

SO HERE IS MY QUESTION.

WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST BIKE? (PLEASE ONLY list
1) Your first bike/engine size?
2) Weight of the bike? [If you know]
3) Your height/weight?
4) How long have you been riding?
5) Number of accidents? If you had accident(s); did it/they had anything to do with engine power being too high or low?

This is my first bike and me.

NINJA 250 (248cc)
Bike Weights 304 LB
My Height: 6'
My weight: 200LB
I have been riding for 3 months.
No accidents (thank god)

I would really appreciate if you DO NOT go off topic and start a another discussion--THANK YOU

While this has been asked aprox 12 times. I will reply once again.

1) 650cc
2) aprox 380lbs dry
3) 5'8" about 120lbs
4) 3 years now
5) One accident (ice + me being lazy about braking)

I think I've seen this kind of thread a couple times before, but why not:

1) BMW K1200RS; 1200cc
2) 700lbs
3) 71"/175lbs
4) 6 months of daily commuting
5) None, and the only close call I've had was a guy changed lanes without looking. After a loud blast of my horn he got back over.
