I asked the question so I better fess up! Me, 57, my back, 94! The lord only knows why I bought a CR, but she’s a keeper. I guess the high average age was always going to be so with purchase later in life, when finances (and she of higher authority) permit! There may be more than a few mid-life crises candidates in there also! You know who you are!
Good on yer Ken, keep on ridin! I go riding every Sunday with a mate who is 80+, he rides a BMW 1000RR thing and I struggle to keep up sometimes. He’s showing absolutely no signs of slowing down - growing old disgracefully!
More power would be great but hardly necessary methinks. For me the bike is for carving through the twisties, don’t need more HP for that! My CR has more than enough to stay with my mates, until a straight comes along of course. I used to obsess about the weight a little until I fitted the BST carbon wheels. This really transformed the handling and weight characteristics for me. Night and day, worth every penny. Ride one if you can and see for yourself.
Voodoo, you probably need to think of selling your bike! You’re a bit young, or I’m a bit jealous, one or the other!
