I'll go.....
A 1980 Yamaha DT100. A pretty crappy 2-stroke dual purpose trail bike with oil injection, virtually no suspension, no horsepower. I was 13 years old and bought it used for $430 that I earned delivering the Sunday paper, 3 years old, and in pristine condition. Rode it around behind my house, in the the large vacant fields and trails around my neighborhood in upstate NY. We used to ride on the side of railroad track right of ways, or take trails (and roads) all over the place. Those were the days!
Not a picture of the one I owned (that I am aware of) but here is one I found on the interwebs.

My second motorcycle was a 1984 KX125 that I bought one year old used for $900. What a rocketship compared to the DT100, especially with my skinny 120lb buttox on board! More about that to follow...
