Mine was a 67 Honda 305 Dream. Bright red with a red seat and chrome side panels on the tank with rubber knee grip insets. Rode the hound out of that bike.
Ride safe,

My first bike was a Honda CT 70 with the tank under the seat and fold away handlebars.
My first street legal bike was a Suzuki TS 250 enduro. I also like dirt bikes and we could ride home from school and hit a few trails.
Fun.

05 Susuki Bouelevard...nice bike, but no bags and where near the juice of my Nomad.

First Bike, 2007 Nomad Black/Silver.
62 years old and never rode a motorcycle until 3 months ago. ( We were not allow to even say " Motorcycle" in my house when growing up. ( Were not allowed "Toy Guns" either.
Dad had a "thing" about both.
Kids grown, I retired, so this fall I took the MSF course and bought the Nomad. It was a bit heavy at first and I nearly dropped it a couple of times but after 2000 miles (beore winter set in ) I am comfortable riding it were it not for the crazy drivers out there.
I had the same problem when I first got my pilots license, nobody warned me about the crazies out there. They sky is full of them as well as the roads. Gotta watch all the time. I learned when flying the best collision avoidance system is " Two eyes glued to the windshield" same applies with bikes.

Ride safe
