At 16 I rode a Suzuki AP50, unrestricted, pedels locked in place as footrests, topped out about 50! Saw one at the Stafford bike show fully restored asking just under £3k for it!
On my 17th birthday I got a Kawasaki KH250 triple, rode it for a couple of months on L's then passed my test on it. The test was a ride around the roads near the test centre with an examiner watching with a clipboard.... those were the days! Then a month or so later I got a Honda CB550/4 super sport. Wish I had kept this now as I never see any around, plenty of 400/4's still around.
