I'm 73 and am not sure if I'll just wear out what I have or buy another one. My eye was caught by a H-D XR1200 that I would like to ride. Not too much power but a little uncivilized. I rode my son's ZX 14 and while I really liked it for the scary power, I disliked it for the same reason and for the uncomfortable seating position. He has decided to replace it with something a little less demanding.
When we ride, I have to remind my wife not to hobble when we stop and get off. I exercise just to be able to swing my leg over the seat on the first try. She used to ride her own bike but now we just ride two-up. We put on thousands of miles on two bikes hauling two kids and a dog. Now, the kids are middle aged, the dog is long gone, but we still like to ride. GD
