Ok im offten refered to as "the old guy on the sport bike" to some guys that i talk to from time to time that dont know me personally( i do look older than i am). I know im not that old, i'll be 35 in July. I was just curious as to how old some of you other sport riders were.

Umm, I'm the winner so far. Be 61 in a few months, riding for 45 years, just sold my '95 GPZ1100 (loved it) and bought an '08 CBR1000RR. Previous bikes were a '73 Z1 and a '75 Z1B (wish I had those back!), an '83 Magna V65 (too wierd) and an '85 FXRS (too slow). Now mind you, I'm not 'in the mood' to do a 350+ mile day on it but, Boy Howdy! The twisties are still way fun, just with a dose of Aleve before and after.

Age makes you a bit slower, but it doesn't take away the fun!

Just turned 28 a few weeks ago. I only feel old when I'm around kids between 18 and 22.

Started riding at 22 on my EX500, which was a sportY bike, but not a sportbike. Got into trackdays 4/19/08 and bought a real sport bike ('93 F2) a couple months later.

I've had my RR since June or July of 2009 I guess? I know I sold my F2 around the time I got married, which was May of '09, and I wasn't (track) bikeless for very long.
