MotoMania man you should informed yourself about those cruisers. They're all been on the market for years now. Nothing new at all except for the year. Someone had to tell you, sorry
Funny thing I was always told that with age there is maturity that comes with it. Why settle for something you’ll dump a few months later for something one can take longer rides comfortably. Back in the day when I was 17, I owned most of the British stuff, which brought its own headaches. Then in 65 the Japanese market showed up with a much better bike with almost zero upkeep. With in a few years the British bike where gone, even old Harley was hit hard. I’m still a hard core Harley owner. Won’t get near any of the new stuff from Harley. Harley has lost its pride and gone WOKE. Guess the gurus at Harley headquarters didn’t hear about old Budweiser. Soon the wizards at Harley will get our message. Boycott!!. Those many midsize bike in today’s market are just great as bar hoppers. Or short runs. However when the new wears off you’ll be on the hunt for something that is more comfortable. Plus you have the wisdom to ride with responsibility and not be a “hotdog” as you were around 16-17. Age and maturity is a good thing.
I consider myself a typical old guy rider, based upon my riding friends. I know what I’m doing and what is best for me. No vanilla bikes for me. I have a Triumph Street Triple for sport riding, a Tiger 800 for trips, a Honda Grom for urban hooliganism and a vintage Yamaha trials bike for off road antics. Buy and ride what you like, not what some nameless group or person thinks you should ride.
I am pushing 71 in a few weeks; I have two Ducatis in the garage, a 2007 GT1000 Sport Classic and a 2012 Multistrada 1200 S. I'm not very tall and the Multistrada has become something of a strain to ride, especially when I am in traffic going up a steep hill; so I am considering trading them towards a BMW R 12. Anyone ever ride that bike?
I don't think those heavyweight cruisers are suitable for seniors. I'm in my late sixties and ride a 400lb bike. It's light and manageable and cheaper to run. And more fun.
What a load of crap!!!!,,,ageist at its best,,, what does this guy know about what an old person wants or needs.. I see old riders and they rides anything and everything..This computer voice does not have a clue....
this is certainly NOT a very well put together video..., makes me think this person has quickly put together a few pictures, talked over them with utter nonsense..., and all just for the clicks and a quick buck from YT. Is there nobody who vets YT content before it goes online?
Looks to me like the majority of bikers are getting on a bit. Age has nothing to do with anything. You can't pigeon hole folks like that. Pointless video.
RE 650 Himalayan shown are both new and old models but details are of old Himalayan. I have a neighbor always saying more senior, more power is required.
This list is ridiculous to say the least, the motorcycle has no relation to age, I am 66 years old and I ride a BMW GS1250R Adventure, and I feel very good on it, certainly better than on a smaller displacement motorcycle. I am a 42 year old rider and I thought this list was designed for a beginner who does not have the skills to control the motorcycle he wants to ride. Age does not mean incapable!
I rode the big kawis and suzis for 20 yrs. C. 200k miles altogether....not really a bunch. Scads of fun. 75 now. Stopped riding 2019, sold the bikes cheap, all in good condition, maintained by a small motorcyce business....i ain't ridin' these days: walk with cane due to botched left foot surgery. State took away my dr license due to dementia. Wife drives the car. Live one hse removed from freeway....love hearing the MCs zoom by 😂 👍👍
At sixty nine, do I count as a senior rider. If so, sorry but this selection does not interest me, the only exception might the Triumph and that would not be high on my list.
I ( 63 yo...) have the same Savage 650 1998 since 2002... 185 thousand kilometers through Brazil and the south of South America. Simple, basic and amazing motorcycle
This video lumps together all people judged to be 'senior' and then assumes that all they want is something bland and unchallenging. This is insulting and clearly nonsense. I'm 67 and ride a 750 Kawasaki triple.
At 72 there isnt one machine in this video that floats my boat. I own 20 machines from a 1970 T120 Bonneville to a 2017 scooter via 2012 Aprilia RS125. I find videos like this very patronising 👎🏴
Hold on! We may be old but, we are not dead! I still have that need for speed! I don't want anything under 750cc. I will always want a bike that can pull away from car if I need to.
HD 117 Milwalk 105 HP Suzuki 109r 128 HP Harley is just a name and at an insane high price. Indians are way under powered also as expensive. Japanese bikes take 'em in, all categories. The Harley's before the Milwalk were more powerful. They put a weaker cam in that don't vibrate as much. There are Japanese bikes that sound just as badass as a Harley. If you're lucky, I guess your Harley came from the U.S.
You know nothing about it. Rebel 300 is 5 years in market. Aero, shadow 750 is 25 years in market . Fury is more than 10 years inarket. Vulkan maybe 20 years in market. Find another hobby😂
