74 Husky 250 for dirt, and a 77 Yamaha RD400 for street. I was 2 stroke all the way until a CBR900. Prior to that had RZ50's which were 2 cylinder 2 stroke bikes.

The first bike I ever owned was a brand new 1983 Kawasaki KZ 750
Specter. Gold & Black with a Gold anodized engine. That thing was greased lightening.
