How old are you? Ageing biker population?

**racefactory** · 31st December 2010, 08:17

I feel i'm one of the only younger one's out there enjoying proper bikes. It really is very seldom do I bump into 20,21 y/olds at the lights or what have you. Even the L plater's on zxr250 and cbr250rr bikes all seem to be up at 30 or so.

I find the only younger guys all use those bloody ugly ex250 ninja and hyosung bikes...

Are there no younger guys riding proper bikes out there?

Take the poll, let's find out!

Come along to NASS and you'll meet plenty of people in your age group. Starts again on the 19th.

24 with an RC31, and if you don't know what that is, perhaps you ain't a proper biker

I know what an RC31 is. Had one back in the day but really wanted an RC30. Couldn't afford one

. I really liked my SC16 though.

By proper bike I mean absolute minimum of CBR250RR or ZXR250

Reido- 19 with R6, good on you... would like to meet more of this kind of folk.

As much as I enjoy putting shit on the Hyocrap, they are every bit a real motorcycle as whatever you or anyone else happens to ride.

21 on a GSF250VZV.

Hell yes lets see some more young guys with RC30's and NC30's.. totally insane bikes.

So only a sports bike is a proper bike then?
