Puyallup, Washington | Got a half century of learning going for me. Doesn't mean much though, as I'm obviously a slow learner. Seems that most of us fit right into Victory's target audience. It's good to have some young whipper snappers on board to help with all the new fangled technical gadgets. I'm a little technically challenged as well as a slow learner. Oh, I forgot, we've got the Gadget Guru and he's one of the oldsters. |

| I'll be 42 in May, but I started riding my first touring bike back in '95 with a '86 Yamaha Venture Royale, fell in love with the power first, then the carrying capacity, and lastly the handling.......go figure!  |

Southeast Iowa | At 41 I'm about in the middle of the group. I think one reason Victory thinks the Visions target audience is 50ish is due to the price, the other due to it being a Touring bike. The trend has been moving towards baggers and I see a lot of people in their 30's riding Road Kings, Street Glides and such. I think you will see more people in their 30's and 40's on the Street and the Tour will probably be mostly men in their 50's. I happen to like both worlds and can have either one in about 20 minutes. |

New Bohemia, VA | No problem, I've got four granddaughters, 6, 4, 1, and 3 months and a grandson, 1 year. They're great! I'm having more fun older than I ever did when I was younger.

I had a 2000 Kawasaki Nomad which is one of the only bagger jap bikes there is other than the Goldwing which doesn't count. I loved that bike but I already know I am going to enjoy the Vision even more!

20 miles west of Chicago. | C'mon guys, there's got to be SOMEBODY older than me around here. My new fangled Vision 'sickle is the cat's pajamas....why you don't even have to remember to twist the left handgrip to retard the spark before firin' her up, so's when you jump on the starter pedal she don't kick back and throw ya' over the bars. Hell, you don't even need to kick start her at all. It's the bee's knees. |
