44 years old. I always feel like people are probably surprised when I get off the bike and pull my helmet (with dark tinted visor) off. Like they must be thinking, "haha... it’s an old, nerdy guy riding that thing!"

I'm 57, the bike makes feel like a few of those years haven't gone bye yet. But you should have seen how the crowd reacted at church when they figured out it wasnt a kid that had parked it in the parking lot.

17 - Probably youngest one here lol I had a KH 250 Kawasaki at 17, that was at the time the cc limit at 17 in the UK, think its 125cc now ..... 56 now, if i was let loose on a FZ10 at 17 the chances of me making 18 would have been greatly reduced. |

Yeah, I like to occasionally ride it so-called “Track Style” but I know my limits very well (from past experiences) the FZ10 is not to be underestimated. If your not paying attention, it will easily throw you. I like to think of myself as decently self-controlled for my age. (Or I wouldn’t be allowed to ride one haha). |

Just turned 50 years young and have been riding sport bikes for 30+ years! Last year I thought I should grow up, and I got a Goldwing F6B. After only 2500 miles I took a loss to get an FZ-10. I realized that I wasn't mature enough to ride with the old guys yet. lol :-) I initially went to Yamaha to get an R1 but, after sitting on the FZ-10 I fell in love. This is probably the best handling bike I've ever rode.
I put on a Yoshi slip-on but I still didn't get the sound that I liked. Just ordered an Austin Racing exhuast, and I'm planning on flashing my ecm. Can't beat the low to mid power range. The top end is lackiing a bit. Hopefully, the mods that I'm planning can improve that. Will keep you guys updated as I go along.
Btw, I'm new to this (forums, message boards, social media in general). I look forward to engaging with members to swap ideas.

It's not bad, but I'd take 26. Already dating my now wife, and wasn't near as sore when I get out of bed. Oh and I had hair!!! |
