Can't we start a poll on this?

Big five O here btw and until recently there's no way I could afford a +20k bike.

Just passed the 60 mark. Also ride a Nomad.

Just seasoned enough to respect it but not too old to have fun.

I am 38 and I got myself the ZX14 and gave the C14 to the wife, or actually I think she stole it, but anyway she is not quiet as old as I am.

47, I saw it, and she said pay it, So I did.
And as of right now love it. But it sure is allot of bike. WOW!

All I can say is at 47 riding the C14 is Great. I sold my CB1100F which I owned new since 83 and thought would never replace. Now that was a classic.

No, just old.

I'm 48 and would love to have a C14. But for now, my GPZ will have to do.
