Motorcycle riding seems to be an old man’s sport.

Somewhat. The older guys can afford the expensive ones while the younger guys are still raising families. Things are changing though. Millennials want to spend their free time in front of a screen with an X-Box playing virtual games rather that getting out there in the wind and feel the freedom only a motorcycle can give.

Maybe when electric bikes are both affordable and common; that will start to change. Electric bikes will require almost no maintenance; just tire changes and drive belt adjustments once in a great while.

There are still plenty of young road racers out there. Some of them are quick as hell and know how to get thru a turn. None of them are sitting on Harleys though.
