Exactly what has happened with me.Guess I was a geezer in my mid twenties with a Goldwing and getting younger with an ST in the fifties. :clap2:
Talking to my local honda dealer, it'd be more like, "Wow! Never sold one of these before....."I purchased my ST13 new when I was 33, and just days before turning 34. The salesman remarked "Wow! We've never sold one of these to anyone under 40 before."
It's only a older mans bike cos we have learnt a lot when we were younger bikers! Now we are more intelligent about bikes we buy the best! Old guys rule! YeahYeah, I've had a couple of my boys call it a Old Man's bike! But one of them sure loved it when we did our 2,200 mile trip last September, since his Yamaha 600 wouldn't have made the trip!

I'm thinking you've been riding the wrong style of bike. They may look pretty, but... All of mine have been "standards". They may have been chrome challenged, but I loved riding all of them. Glad you found the ST.My last two bikes were a Kawasaki Vulcan 1500, fully kitted out, and a Victory Vegas 8-Ball. The wife liked the look of the bikes, but finds this one much more comfortable. I even had a special seat for her on the old bikes. I picked up a used Sargeant seat and a top box with backrest, and she actually asked me when we could go on a ride again after our last trip. Despite the fact that we got caught in a cold miserable day with rain on the last trip.
I'm 49 and over the whole look thing. Don't get me wrong, I like the look of the ST1300, but my Victory was sweet looking. But nobody gave a crap but me, so who cares! This bike is the best bike I've ridden since the 80's. My first bike was a '84 750 Nighthawk S, and I haven't felt as good on a bike since then until now.
