I'm 77 and bought my Triumph Speed 400 a few weeks ago. It's great fun, which a motorcycle should be. I've been riding for 62 years.
-
I'm in my 60s and I ride my light weight Ducati Diavel V4. Perfect Old Man bike.
-
Senior riders as long as they’re not 6’ or above.

I am 72 and very happy and satisfied with my V2, 1984 Honda GL500, Overhead 4 valve per cylinder liquid cooled engine. The shaft drive gives it a very smoother and comfy ride.
-
NO mention of the Triumph 400?
-
Old guys (I am one) will be miserable if the knees are folded up tight and their upper body weight is on their wrists. I had a Kawi 500 Ninja and it was brutal. We need room and an upright stance.

I’m 61 and have been riding since I was 10. I’m small, 5’1” so I bought the Rebel 500 last year. It’s a blast to ride, fast and nimble. All the upgrades to fuel injection, water cooled, ABS disc brakes. (Beats the rear drum brakes.) Slipper racing clutch. LED light package, digital gauge(gas gauge & clock!!!) Overall a really nice bike to commute to work on. As they say “Fun Size”

At 69, I just purchased a new bike after 3 years of taking a break from motorcycles. I got a Kawasaki Z900RS. Not too low so my knees and feet feel cramped up, not too high with a relatively flat seat so I could swing my leg over it, not too heavy at 471 pounds and with the added passenger grab bar I can maneuver it around in the garage. I wanted a simple bike with plenty of power but without the bulk. Those bikes you show with the stepped up passenger seat are impossible to throw my leg over - just too high!
-
how does a 493 pounds called "Lightweight" bruh
-
I like my BSA.

The 20hp of the Royal Hunter on the Royal Enfield 350 would get me killed the first time I tried riding it on the Interstate Highways. Most Royal Enfields are WAY too under powered. Not for me thanks. You would need minimum 500+ cc bike for highway riding.

Age 64 and I ride a 2015 Honda VFR800F and a 2019 CB1000R.
-
I have been riding for over 40yrs ,I will decide what I will ride, and these days it's a Kawasaki vn2000
-
I have decades of hard earned experienced but have had a fifteen year break. Looking to pick up another bike but the choice is bewildering. Too many nice bikes I like from all genres. I thought about a Tenere, nice bike but a bit top heavy. Might try a Street Triple but then again, one bike I always wanted was the BMW R1250R. I might just get that and be done.
-
KLR650 $4,299 here in san diego. and better choice.
-
Real good picks I think nailed it man ...😊
-
You must be in England; you left out the GSX-R750! I hope you guys can still get used ones.
-
67-year-old z900rs also Indian Scout Rouge love them
-
Although most bikers believe that the BMW G310R is specifically intended for new young beginner riders up to 25 yrs of age ❤
-
I'm 71 riding a KAWASAKI Z400.❤
