average age?
« on: 11 March 2017, 12:07:26 am »

Nothing personal folks, just wondering what our average age is. Are we knocking on a bit or are we mere spring chickens? I know we're all under 25 in our heads but it's what's on our birth certificates that interests me.  How old are we as a breed of foccers?

Good question Vinny, why not ask it as a poll with age bands? :)

Always figured that the majority had an average age in the mid 40's, we simply need the comfort and reliability but also with a hint of devil if ever wanted.  :evil
Of course there are younger and older riders too, which goes to show what a versatile and decent bike the 600 has turned out to be.  :thumbup

I'm a spry old 30. I bought a fz1 as my first litre bike coming from 600 sportsbikes purely because litre sportbikes are way too track focused for everyday use so thought I'd go for something slightly more practical nothing to do with age. When I can afford to I intend on buying another 600 supersport too haha

I think sports bikes suit shorter people okay for everyday use, but for taller people they're just uncomfortable, especially in built up areas where traffic is a daily issue.

Yeah ageing is like a roll of toilet paper. The closer you get to the end the faster it goes.
