I voted 45-55 today, because my birthday in in a few days and I'll be 56 then and would have had to bump up a category. The friend that got me started with motorcycles had a GS400 that was just so sweet!Ed

I only became acquainted with GSs when my brother bought one (83 1100e) around 1990. Even then it was just a red bike to me. My world changed after buying it though. A huge step up from my LTD 550 Kawi which was my first bike.
I'm 45.sigpic
When consulting the magic 8 ball for advice, one must first ask it "will your answers be accurate?"

My first bike was a gixxer 750 in classic blue...that was at age 44. It wasn't the best bike for ME to learn on so I sold it. My only regret is the thirty-something year old who bought it died racing away from Dover PD two weeks later.

Right now there's a neat coincidence in the results. There are 33 responses, and all the percentages are doubles: 6.06%, 12.12%, 30.30%, 45.45%
Also, I notice a distinct gap in age distribution. At the moment there's nobody in the 35-45 range. 18.18% are below that and 81.81% are above it. That tells me we have two different populations:
1) Young folks who can't afford a new bike, and
2) Old folks remembering their ill-spent youth.
My second bike was an 81 GS 850G at 18 years old in 1991. I wasn't specifically looking for a GS when I bought it but it was affordable and wound up being a great bike. Other than the stator crapping out three weeks after I brought it home, it served me well.Roger
