Evening all, I really hope this hasn't been done before on this site...if it has sorry! :confused:

Anyway, new to posting on the forum but have trolled it for a while. As everyone is constantly hearing, the average age of the motorcyclist is apparently on the up.

I just thought it would be interesting to know the average age of the .org. I hope this goes down OK and im not offending anyone...

Im going to try and get a poll going but if it fails i guess its just going to have to be a post thing. :santa:

no worries it hasnt been done for a few years ;) ... as you can see the .org is made up of a wide age range, but we attract the younger generation mainly as they are starting their bike journeys. The 650 is a bike that has generally attracted those that have recently passed their bike test.

It must be the character of the bike that attracts a younger audience, that and generally people who are going to be familiar with a forum environment are going to be slightly younger?

Just a few thoughts. :smt060
