I'll talk to you as a 24-year-old guy: at least here, the most desired and best selling motorcycle till 18 years old is a super-motard, starting with 2 strokes 125cc at 16y.o. (and 50cc at 14y.o.) just to buy a 450 4 stroke motard at the age of 18: ktm, tm, Suzukis etc really sell like hot cakes here, but also Japanese nakeds such as the mt-07 are great sellers for young people.
in general, there's a really good preference for sports bike.
as I think also elsewhere, there's still an important minority who's interested (as me) in vintage motorcycles (I own from my age of 14y.o. a 1968 vespa 50r) and which are very fond of triumphs (who also sell a lot, especially in the under 30s), while the cb1100 sold like 200 pieces from 2017 till 2020, a huge flop there, maybe cause pedigree and brand history counts more than substance.
still, the 2 best selling (BY FAR) motorcycles there, in general, are the BMW GS and Honda Africa Twin: just to highlight how fewer younger motorcyclists are on the road
