I'd have to agree with everyone else. I'm 37 and ride a 99 F4. Most of the guys I know have Harleys, and it's funny to watch them when the road gets a little twisty or the speed gets above 70. They are hangin on for dear life to keep the wind from blowing them off the back.

Yeah, you're too old. But I'm 42, so I'm really too old.

Some of my buddies ride Harleys and keep trying to convince me that I really want a hog. But I sure don't. Maybe someday a sport tourer like the Triumph Sprint ST, but more than likely I'll stick with a middleweight sport bike.

No doubt, I am 35 and just getting into the sport bikes. So just like what every one else said, your not to old. Get what you will like. And ride safe. But some day I will have a venom from Big Bear Choppers. lol

Who says you only have to have one bike. :) I have a VFR 800 with a more upright position with the heated grips and heated seat for my all year round any kind of weather riding and a CBR 1000RR for my "fun" zippy bike that I ride on sunny days and take to the track. I'm 33 and I have safety instructor friends that are pushing 50 and they all ride sportbikes and go to the track.

Hell no, my daad is going to be 59 this year and he can ride a sports bike better than most!! If you want the best of both worlds get a 600RR for speed and a John Deer for slow, same effect as a Harly but at least you can cut the grass!!
