My first motorcycle, purchased in July of 1961, was a Harley Davidson Super 10.
It had a ten cubic inch two-stroke engine, and would barely reach 50 MPH.
It looked like the above image, and I called it "Baby Blue" It did a lot of winter work,
carrying me from Lawrence Avenue to UofT and back home. It was a nuisance to
feed, because I needed to carry a sealable container of two-stroke motor oil to
mix with the gas at each purchase.
Trips I made with this bike: Windermere in Muskoka, Buffalo, and London.
The day after I graduated from UofT, I bought a CA-77 Honda Dream,
and I sold Baby Blue for $41 a few months later.

1975 Honda MT125, the trail on-off street legal version of Honda's CR125 Elsinore, their first 2-stroke motorcycles.
After that, other 2-strokes were a 1977 Yamaha RD125, a 1984 Honda CR250 and a 1986 Suzuki RG500 Gamma. So out of the 17 motorcycles owned so far, 4 of them were 2-strokes.

I remember when I worked in motorcycle shop back in the mid 70s, HD had a couple of 2-stroke models that were made by Aermacchi.
The SuperHawk was such a cool bike.
I've got the twin to yours in the living room. Owned it for 8? years.
