So far there aren't any 20 year olds putting their hands up....So it's either age or a common sense thing? 
How old are you Super Ten rider?

(had a 600 Teneré at 25 but it is a much smaller bike)this explain that I guess.

60. Just rode from from Chicago to the coast of Washington State. S10 didn’t miss a beat.
I'm not thinking the T-12 is a youngster's bike. Along with the FJR. My youngest got his FJR when he was 20, and was teased by the salesman that he had to be the youngest FJR owner. My other son in his 20's has an R6. Only a couple of their friends have bikes, so I say it's an age (generation) thing.So far there aren't any 20 year olds putting their hands up....So it's either age or a common sense thing?

Getting close to level 64. Just bought my S10 in August and rode it home from California to Georgia. 3,800 miles in 15 days. Wonderful bike!

Will hit 50 on Veterans' day. It's my first adventure bike. Hopefully not my last.

If you really want to improve your skills, there is only 1 way : track
I learn more in a track week-end than 10 years on the road.
My recommendation if you can, buy a Suzuki SV650 or something like that, fully prepared, cost around 2-3000$ (bought mine 1800$), this way u wont be afraid to crash it,
plus you will have the smile on when you will overtake 1000 Ninja

Lost is my destination.
As I've grown older my bikes have gotten heavier and more powerful. Seems the S10 is just the logical extension of that. 62

Wish I could have another bike to do track but I am an apartment dweller. Before getting my Super Tenere I had my KLR stolen and destroyed and my DR650 was vandalized because they couldn't steal it.If you really want to improve your skills, there is only 1 way : track

Track training is great. But, if he's going to the tip of South America, he's going to want/need off-road training as well. Not to mention, he's gonna have to learn how to avoid grandma, that can't see over the steering wheel, when she pulls out in front of him. 'Cuz, thankfully, they won't let her on the track.

60. Riding since age 10. Just bought a new TM EN300FI off-road enduro bike. That, and bicycle commuting year-round in Montana helps keep bike-handling skills sharper (probably never that great).
All that hapen in California USA? I thought that US was away fro Vandalizm!!
