Whats your age? (sport bikes)

[Bubba]

You sir would be a cool guy to know.

That's what my Mom always used to tell her friends' daughters....

Ya ever get to Cinti, let's ride and then go have that beer.

[cOoTeR]

I'm 25, started riding at 21 on a 73 Honda cb 450f. Then at 22 I upgraded to a 00 Suzuki intruder 1400 that I traded in 2 years ago for my 07 cbr 1k.

I'm 26 - been riding since I was about 18 off and on. There's a few guys in our group over 40 that rail the fuck out of the backwoods.

[Strictly Street]

I know im not that old, i'll be 35 in July.

Hell, I have underwear older than you. :lol:

[hollywood3586]

Turned 25 in march.. I'm surprised by a couple of ages..

I feel old since I've been at Akron U.. Lots of 17 and 18 y/o.. But hey at least I still get carded when going into bars and buying beer.

[AndyJ]

41, but wife tells me I act like a 12 year old...

[idodishez]

41. Been riding two wheelers since I was 11. (mopeds, 50cc dirt bikes, etc). Had a few bikes over the years, (ex500, 450 Honda, etc) but hardly ever running. Got first sport bike ('91 zx7) in 2001. But it too was in the shop more than not. Last year I finally splurged and bought an '06 zx-10 that starts everytime I turn the key. Now I feel like a total newb when I'm with other sportbike riders

37 next week

37 in body 21 in mind (ok maybe 15).... always got told to act my age when I was younger that's never gonna happen...

started riding dirt bikes at 6yrs old started riding street bikes in 1992 had an old 1968 triumph chopper 650cc I got from a guy I had lent money ($150) too and he got laid off and was unable to pay me it was uncomfortable as hell traded that for a xr200 and a go kart with 440 snowmobile engine.... 1994 I went looking for a new bike was gonna buy zx11 took one for a test ride and discovered I was not mature enough to own one bought a 1991 yamaha virago 1100 rode that for a couple years then sold it and didn't ride again until May of '08 when I bought a ninja ex500 then in August of '08 I bought a ninja 650r (wife said zx14 was too expensive )about three or four weeks later I took wife for about a 200 mile ride and when we got home she said she hated the bike that it was uncomfortable find a different bike (that's what I wanted to hear ) so I hunted around and did lots of research and looking at different bikes and in November of '08 the 650r got traded for the zx14 and she loved it and I still love the rush every time I crack that throttle open.

He doesn't look a day over 54. Must be the clean living.

Thanks my Brother. I fibbed a bit about my age, by a few years.... Lol!

Does that ever get old; or do you at least feel yourself starting to get used to it?

I sincerely believe that my 87hp F2 was twice as fun because I was riding a 45hp EX500 during the week.

I suppose you can get the same effect from driving a car every so often, but bike-to-bike comparisons seem more "pure" somehow.

I am 37, soon to be 38 on the 3rd of May. Have been riding sportbikes since I was 20, bikes since I was 16. Popped my cherry on a old Kawi LTD550 that belonged to my best friend. Hooked on two wheels ever since.

[NinjaNick]

Jealous much..

Haters will hate Holly.

Hell no. It's always a rush. I'd say I'm more use to knowing what is about to happen than actually being use to it if that makes sense. Then I get this huge grin and say...holy shit that was amazing! Torque being in the triples is the big reason.

[whaler]

37 Started riding at 7 on a KDX80 and have had many dirt bikes over the years. Bought an Indian moped at 14 and when I turned 16 bought a Yamaha XJ650 Maxim. I have had many bikes over the years, always sport or sport standards.

Many cherries are popped by Kawi's. Kawasaki's are worshipped almost as much as Harleys. I'm one of those people.

My first ever ride on a motorcycle was my dad's Kawasaki 750 H2.
