SUZUKI GT185

My mum showing off my GT185 and the Honda Seeley 750 which I won on the MCN Spot the Ball in 1975. Steve Riley

HONDA C70 CUB

The only bike I’ve been able to wheelie properly. Double denim and a peaked helmet were OK in 1985, right? Phil Shepperd

SUZUKI V-STROM 250

I was late to the motorcycling party, but here’s me on my first bike: a Suzuki V-Strom 250. As you can see, I love it. Richard Poolton

SUZUKI RGV250

Marlboro leathers, A-stars boots and Rossi lid. I sold a 350LC to buy it, then sold the RGV to buy an R6. Darren Pendleton

SUZUKI AP50

My first bike was this Suzuki AP50 which was bought new in 1976 (I was 16). Just £220 on the road. How I wish I’d never sold it. Stephen Spencer

HONDA CB125 TWIN

My pride and joy CB 125 Honda Twin in 1982. I now ride a Triumph Tiger 1050 which has just a bit more power about it. Peter Liptrot

YAMAHA RD350LC

Me and my RD350LC in 1996... I sold it three months later for £450 so somebody had a bit of a bargain there! Mr Hall
