1st bike was a Yamaha R6 - 6 years, learned to keep up with the group.

2nd bike was a Ninja 300, - 15 months , started to pass guys on 600’s

3rd was 1199, oh yeah

4th Daytona 675, not an 1199!

Tracked all the them
 
My father taught me to ride on his '84(ish) Manga 750 (this is about 1989/90
Moved to New Zealand for a short time (1990), got my license and a 1988 GPZ250
Moved back to the US is '91 and got the Manga from my father
In '93 I took a CBR600F2 off the showroom floor as my first new bike.

So the Magna was the first bike I rode with the GPZ250 being my first bike I had for myself and the CBR being the first new bike I got for myself.
 
the first motorcycle I rode: Suzuki RM 80
first 2 wheeled vehicle I owned: Yamaha Riva 200
first motorcycle I owned: Honda CBR 600 F2

I've had a weird and wacky motorcycle ownership history... 8 bikes over my life... explosions, thefts, crashes... 😅 ..if you're interested:
 
First bike was ... a scooter 😂 Mom wouldn't let me get a motorcycle (age 16), so got a Honda Spree.
When I was 18, a friend had a CB750 that I really learned how to ride on and the next year after I moved to Seattle, I got a 1978 Honda 400 twin (blue). That thing was a tank. That Honda was really my first motorcycle. Rode it all over the PNW.
 
First bike was an IT125 at 14.
After that a Boxoa 175 (russian bike that simply refused to die).
Then a 2001 R6
After that a 2005 R1
Followed by a Pani v4s
a Pani V4 SP2
and now a Pani 30 year limited edition SP2.

First was a '76 Honda Z50A, when I was 6 years old. Still have it in the garage. If you mean first street bike, that was a '92 Suzuki GSXR-750 purchased once I got my first real job after college.
