Me neither... Really annoys me when companies do this.

If they said "You can, but due to the age risk you have to put down a £30 deposit" then ok...
or
"You need to have experience of riding a 600cc+ motorcycle."... makes sense.

But purely because I'm not 25 - highly annoying! Grrrr....

Oh didnt realise there was a 25Year old limit. Damn it. That sucks.

Ive had mixed things, I wanted to test ride a street tripple just to see what a fast naked felt like and see what the rave was about but they said 25 im affraid. Sigh.

Went to the local Aprilia dealer asked to have a go on a Falco (more powerful etc) and they said yes NP, how long you had your licence? 3 years I said. Fine there you go.

The Tuono's an excellent idea, it means you don't need to crash your bike in order to get that genuine "Bits smashed off" look. Just horrible, they look like they were built in a shed. Not my shed obviously, someone talentless's shed. Still, I gather the gold frame is out at least these days..

Darn, was all set to book a ride (even though initially I wasn't interested you lot are a bad influence, just tempting me like that hehe ) got it sorted, first hiccup, noticed no jeans, need to get me some proper trousers anyhow so thought I'd overcome that but then also noticed that it's a set route and you all follow each other, not that I'd want to go nuts or anything but I'd at least like to go where I'd like to go, ah well. C'est la vie.
makes sense from their side of things I agree but puts me off the idea.
