Anyone on here younger than me? According to the poll at the top of the post you are joining the ranks of the oldies. 😉 There's at least 5 people that are younger than you here (20-30) - that have polled. Looking at this poll it's apparent that the vast majority, again who have polled, are between 50-70. I know it's not a very scientific snapshot as there are all sorts of factors that come into play with doing these things but it's interesting. The age demographic doesn't really surprise me for this machine. More upright sitting position, touring capabilities, able to take two, lightweight, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I'm just an old man in a young body lol. I always felt that way with the Harley too. I bought that at 23 years old. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayJ Posted June 16, 2021 Share Posted June 16, 2021 Coming up on 69, but it's all relative. Still like to say: I know, it's only rock in roll, but I like it, yes I do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nigel5 Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 3 years ago I had a S10, lovely bike to ride, too bloody heavy to push around! Tracer GT lighter and faster and that sound😁 I think a lot of 60 plus guys think big bikes are too much to physically handle and modern smaller bikes have more than enough power. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillEmAll4u Posted June 17, 2021 Share Posted June 17, 2021 I wonder how many of you in my age group (50-60) own ebikes as well? I just bought my first mountain bike ebike and I'm on it more than my tracer right now. Lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol Funny you should say that as the wife and I are considering getting a couple as an 'aid' to some of our walking/hiking trips. What to buy and what to avoid are the next steps.

Skidood Posted June 18, 2021 Share Posted June 18, 2021 I like the idea of this poll but I suspect the numbers are skewed a bit towards to the older crowd since the 45 and up crowd are more likely to be members of an internet forum like this, where we can vote in said poll. The younger crowd are more likely to be on Reddit or Discord and the like... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I will stop riding when they pry the Power Commander from my cold dead hands... Seriously, I started on 2 wheels when I was 11, and there hasn't been any point between then and now I've not had at least one bike on hand. I'm into the 'downsizing due to losing muscle mass' part of the exercise now, having traded my C14 for the Tracer GT. The Yamaha is a lot of fun (it'll be even better after I get the Ohlins installed), but I sure do miss that 1400cc mill in the Kawi at times. I know at some point I'll have to give up riding/driving, but it ain't yet! Ride safe y'all I used About the same line With my betrothed before we got married 40 plus years ago though slightly different. I'll stop riding when they uncurl my cold lifeless fingers off the hand grips Stole that from an NRA slogan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
