average age bying the ST

[rednax]

I know there´s been some threads here with statistics about this and that, but here it is anyways. What is the average age of the ST buyer ? Does it differ in different countries ? The reason for asking is that I read somewhere that in Sweden average age when getting a big bike is something like fifty years and that´s probably coarse of the outrageos prices here (though there are worse - danish for exampel...Ithink ). Does that mean that the ST is a bike for the gentleman of a more mature age ? Don´t know how to go about getting those facts. Might be this site´s the best way :question: ::26:: Hm me I´m 63 this year.

To my knowledge, tallgears is the youngin' of the forum. 24 or something crazy when he bought his.

43 when I took the plunge. I love my KLR but, the Tenere is a massive upgrade for aging bones and the sore butt.

Drive shaft bike.
Automatically draws the more gentlemanly type.

And yes, Tallgears is really young. But have you met him? Nobody is more the gentleman. He's what we call an old soul.

I'm just shy of 56. I bet I'm right about the mean average.

OldRider is a very young 59.

I don't think it's just the ST that attracts older riders. I think that all of the bigger touring bikes are in the average mid 50's range. Probably due to affordability and comfort.
I had attended several of the BMW rallies and each year the average age went up, again in mid 50's.

I'm 52.

29 here, but I knew exactly what I wanted when I bought the S10 and plan on taking this bike on long trips. I do also have a CBR if I feel like riding something appropriate for my age.

31 at purchase of my 2012. previous bike was a 2001 superhawk. I was and I still am riding long distances and I needed something better suited for it. touring bikes are too boring, and I didn't want the bike to put limits on my enjoyment. This bike rules.

I was 27 when I bought the Tenere. Had a Harley sportster before that. Never have been interested in sport bikes...

 

[Firefight911]

I was two weeks shy of 44 when I took delivery of my PDP bike.

I'm 75 now, bought when I was 74. Ride it almost anywhere I want to.

 

[snakebitten]

Nobody ever wore out a K2. They just go away somewhere. Like socks.

Seriously, that's awesome you had one still pulling duty a couple of years ago.

 

[sportsguy]

Well, the average age of me would be right at 20.5 years... ::013::

















...that'd be (41 - 0)/2 = 20.5... ::025::

See if I can bring it up! 68 Next month.
