Just wondering, despite the relatively roomy riding position of the apes especially the early shape models, these are still not exactly as easy going or comfortable as your average bmw gs or honda vfr (not that that is what i want in my bikes). So thought it would be interesting to find out the age of oldest and youngest rsv rider on here? I am 24 so have some way to go to match the average age i would think! Seriously though, with age comes experience, and its great to have all you old(er!) chaps years of wisdom at your fingertips

Well guys, I beat all of you so far. I'm in my 60s and ride my Tuono all year round without problems. Sometimes 400 miles in a day. I have been riding for a few years though. Like some of you, my wife says I'm a big kid. I asked her if she'd like me to grow up and her answer was, "no". Result.

The good thing about motorcycling is that no-one can tell how old you are when you've got your helmet on.:devious
