    36 for me. I miss being able to vote in the youngest category. Missed it by that much.

    I call it the complete evolution of a motorcyclist. Starting hunched over, feet tucked way up and back on the most aggressive sports bike I could afford. Overtime I found myself slowly sitting further upright, legs un-folding as a result. My last bike (which I still have), a Concours 1400 was very comfortable and what I thought was the peak of evolution, and then came the F6B. I am now what I consider fully evolved. This bike has such a neutral riding position I just don’t know what to think, but that’s ok, as long as I don’t start to De-evolutionize, aka Harley riding position. I am the proud 2%...
    Still Wingman after the site crash!

    I'm beginning to get old @ 55.
    My neck couldn't take my CBR anymore. Then I got a new VFR and that wasn't much better, certainly not for long trips.

    This, and my husband's 2012, are the two most expensive bikes we've ever bought. Most young people don't have that sort of disposable income at that point in their careers..
    Please don't spook the road-sheep.

    After my limited time on the FB6, it seems to kinda ride itself on a rail and you just direct it. I had a FJR for a short time with the AE tranny and that was the only thing better. Alas, it ate tires and was a pig moving around slow speed and I was afraid I might drop it. I really like the F6B but if Yammy ever made a ST out of the 900 triple that wieghed around 500lbs and had about a 30" seat with their AE tranny, I'd be ALL over that.

    47YOA when I bought the FB6. I had to wait ill I was old enuff!

    I agree!! I am 32 and wanted to by a wing after several years of sport bikes, power cruisers and a harley. I would have except for the wife shut down the fact i also was considering a boat. She was not going for the motorcycle and a boat strategy, she has since changed her mind, thankfully i forcefully waited. This is by far one of the best bikes i have owned!!
