Makes you wonder how large the "sports" bike sector is nowadays. So many of us have become older(or prone to the afflictions of ageing), many migrated to the "adventure" experience in the years following Charlie & Ewans much publicised trips. The younger element in motorcycling is much smaller than a few years ago & there is a distinct "fashion" aspect to such as the "yard built" creations-Im not knocking it but as a community we are getting older & there are many obstacles for new riders to overcome on their way to a full licence-many simply dont bother.
Sat in a bikers cafe on Saturday morning I was looking at some "old fella"(possibly younger than me!) as he struggled to dismount & then later mount his Fireblade-frankly he looked very uncomfortable.
