Yeah 36 years ago and it was a 1975 Honda CB400F. Wish I still had it, they're going for big money on eBay now.

A 1978 Honda CB750. Rode it hard, put it away wet and it showed. I have no idea how many miles were on it because the speedo cable was broke for many years.
I sold the beast about 5 years ago, it still ran fine and parts are still available.

I had a V45 magna, yeah mine had the dreaded tranny trouble! Hit it hard in 1st, dump into to second and suddenly you're redlining going nowhwere!! I thought it was fast when it worked good though! Of course the bike was wore out when I got it, still loved it though!
