Just out of curiosity, how old is everyone here? Wondering what age group the S10 is appealing to...

I'm 33.

Re: Age group

I just turned 67. Retired and having a ball. I started in dirt in the mid 60s, and later, switched to street. It will be fun to get back to my roots, so to speak.. :D

Re: Age group

Hah! These kind of polls are interesting.

I'll be 52 years old when the Tenere arrives. I've been riding motorcycles for 40 of them.

Re: Age group

Just turned 50 8)

Been looking at the ADV market for years, been riding since 1979 (except for that 10 year break), I want 1 bike, not a shed full, so I like the "general purpose" bikes, like they all used to be. They all started getting way too specific over the years and I am glad the marketing departments have discovered a new handle called "Adventure Bike" that allows the marketing departments lots of junkets in many exotic places. (that's the real reason they are pushing this segment ;D) .

Since I spent a lot of time on reliable bikes as a young whipper snapper, I appreciate just how relaxing that can be just to be able to go wherever and not worry. Hence I tend to look at the less "exotic" brands with good dealer networks. Might be boring but I rarely stop at coffee shops in town anyway.

Cheers
Graham

Re: What is your age?

54 in June. Been riding since I was 10. My Dad built a couple of mini bikes from scratch. One had a Briggs & Stratton. The other had a McCulloch Mc 10 kart engine. Got spit off of that one quite a few times. Went 10 years without a bike (1996 - 2005) till I got my KLR.
