Average CB1100 Rider Age

[GSAviator_imp]

My son has a Duc. It is a very intense street bike.

I hink the best looking motorcycle ever made is the mid 70s R 90/R 100. I have loved looking at Beemers since I was a kid. Never could stand riding them though. 3 times I've wanted to buy Beemers and all 3 times a test ride ruined the experience and squashed the sale. I did rent one on an Eidelwiess tour thru Europe, and enjoyed it, an R1200R, but I already have an ST 1300 Honda for touring, And I can't justify spending another $16 grand for a Beemer.

Here's a picture the original owner took a few years ago...still looks as good, or better, today!


It's half my age LOL!

71 earlier this year. But, hey, 71 is the new 70! You might say I'm reconsidering a decision I made in 1969 to buy a Bonneville instead of the brand-new CB750 with FOUR cylinders.

I know I said anyone 75+ was a badass... But I think we can round up in your case. Man I hope I'm still riding at 71.

I dunno...I think I'd rather round down!

37 y/o here. I had my purchase down to either the cb11, cb500f, or street triple. The cb500f is the most economical and fit me really well but I wanted to upgrade more from my old suzy gs500e. The street triple would have been a blast, but the cb11 I expect to last me a very very long time and, of course, it is gorgeous.

Oh yeah forgot: the duc 696 squashed my nether regions.

We'll round the age down, and the Badassness up...

Most of my riding friends are younger than I, but one is over 75! He's still pretty sharp, too, and a good rider. His wife asked him to stop riding across the US which he did once and sometimes more a year up until a year or so ago. He sold his 1300ST for something lighter, a V-Strom DL650. Even though he works out at the gym several days a week, he felt the need for something not quite so heavy. Can't blame him!
