I'm a 33 year old subrogation claims rep. My dad fits the demographic profile of most members here having grown up on Hondas in the 60s and 70s, eventually becoming a mechanic and service manager at a Honda dealer before he quit the same year I was born. After getting another job, he'd do side work on Japanese bikes, so I grew up around them.
My first Honda was an ATC70. Next I got a 77 XR75 and then a 78 XL175 which is parked next to my CB. I rode dual sports for a while switching brands with an 89 Kawasaki KLR250 and then a 1991 KLR650. Rode a 2005 FJR1300 a couple years and then trades for a 2006 Suzuki V-strom 650 that I had for 5 years.
Last year, I thought I'd take a break from riding which lasted all of 3 months when the CB found my garage home. Tried out a Kawasaki KLX250SF supermoto for a couple months, but sold it when I bought another V-strom 650 (2013).
I seem to like adventure touring bikes and dual sports. If I didn't have the combo of the CB and the V-strom, I'd have a sport touring bike and a dual sport.
