Age and type of bike you drive
I was just thinking. For the most part the cruiser riders I see are older and the sports bike riders are younger. Now sometimes I see the opposite, but not very often. I would like to know how old you are and what type of bike you drive.
Thanks, this is just to satisfy my own curiosity.
I am 32 and I drive cruisers.

You need more categories. I'm 52, my wife is 50, and between us we have one sport-tourer, one adventure-tourer, one retro standard, and one dual-sport. No cruiser. We had one once, but it's gone - we discovered we're not cruiser people.

I'm 23 and ride a Kawasaki 500cc cruiser that's been tuned close to Ninja 500 specs. I've started out on cruisers.
I'm interested in bikes that have good acceleration, at least a top speed of 120 (for overhead) good fuel mileage and maybe the possibility of fitting dual sport tires on it. But I still would like a Interceptor, Buell 1125CR Triumph Scrambler and Piaggio MP3.
Not a speed freak though...

One thing you can count on: You push a man too far, and sooner or later he'll start pushing back.

I'm 76 and ride a sportbike. Well, the new Sport Rider mag's Sportbike Buyer's Guide includes the GS500 with sportbikes. They also include the Buell Blast and supermoto type dual purpose style bikes like the new Honda CRF230M and the Yamaha WR250X.
The majority of bikes sold here in the US are either cruiser or sportbike styles so I guess that works for now as far as classes go. I'd class my naked GS500 with it's upright ergos as a standard bike. But that class is now gone from our market.

I have three Harleys that fit in the 50+, but are they concidered cruisers? The term cruiser wasnt used till about 20 years ago, so can you call a 50 year plus bike a cruiser. Is my 1960 HD Servicar (Police trike) a cruiser? (it is not a sport bike!) My 61 BMW was called a sport bike when it was built, but dosent even come close by todays definition. (it is more like a standard with some preformance upgrades from the factory)
