Average age is 41, Steve Rice is about 60 now and I am 60, and want more everyday reliable power that can send you to the emergency room with a dislocated wrist or shoulder. Is a super fast ZX-14 and old man's machine? Yep, my last Harley was in year 1975. Joe on his Nitro Harley hates the thought of riding his home made monster and is not a Harley at all. 75% of the thrill on a turbo 14 everyday ride.

HOLY FUCK! Some of you are really OLD and probably use a handycap lic plate!!
The group is older than I thought but I really think that cool and makes me feel much younger. This bike (ZX14) really seems to attract the rider who has had many different bikes of speed. There is certainly some common traits to us all such as we seem to live life to the fullest and have a need of an adrenalin rush. We are not happy to have a real fast factory bike, we have to always tweak it to do more.
I think the ZX14 rider is a more passionate than other metric bike riders.
Real interesting to read!!!

I remember when almost everyone thought the 750 turbo was going to be the way of road bikes!
Because of what I see in this thread, the average age of a Concours rider must be around 80?

Yeah, the young who scared themselves on a real bike & the old & infirm who can't handle a real bike!

Been riding for 30 years, every year was better than the last.
Cool thing nowadays, the kids grew up and the wife started riding. Now we go everywhere. Do everything! And everything is so much more fun!
Of course, I think if I had a zx14 when I was 20-something, I'd be dead and missing out on all the fun.
I wrecked my 85 900 Ninja on a straight in the Ortega Hwy at around 140 mph. It didn't slow me down at all, but I never forgot that sound and all the sparks...
That's the only bummer riding with the wife. She got all excited when she hit 95 mph on her 650r Ninja. All I could do was smile... At least she doesn't get pissed when I let loose on the lonely straight parts of Hwy 2 WA.

My bad ass is 34 and wow, a shitload (dats one word) of different ages here. Its all good. My first dirtbike was an 80 JR 50 Suzuki. Road a shitload (one word again) of dirtbikes, didn't start ridin in the street till 02. My first strret bike was an 02 Hayabusa and yeah I should have probably started on a wittle bit of a less powerful bike. And again I loved the bike, just love the 14 little bit more. My dad let me ride his CB 900 10 speed high low when I was 15. Yikes!
