Average Age of FJR Owners

[Bill Lumberg]

Demographics for other well known brands are tossed out most frequently with an average rider age of 47-50. Curious (hence the poll, allowing some anonymity for those that desire it) as to the average age of FJR owners.

This has been covered MANY times... (I answered anyway)

How kind of you to answer anyway. As those are between 4 and 6 years old, I don't think it too soon to see if there's been a demographic shift in Al Gore Land.

How do we account for the forum and survey bias? Types of people on forums, types of people that respond to surveys, types of people trolling NEPRT. Hmmmm.

 

[El Toro Joe]

Proud to still be part of the highest percentage of owners...

I was looking for demographics on owners age using the search tags, and sure enough there it was, right under kielbasa just like you would expect. Very helpful, as always.

I also did a little search and found that 'age of owner' is a popular thread. Fortunately, there are new younger owners to balance the ones that started answering these polls back in '03, now 12 years and a notch or two up in the age brackets.

Good questions. I think the answer is "we don't".

Voted "Over 65 and damn proud of it", but I'm not sure I'm proud of it. More resigned.

73 in August. Ouch.

Don't "get off my lawn", mow the damn thing for me while you're on it.

One mate I ride with just turned 76 & he keeps up with the best of them.

He's an ex cop and rides an FJR ex cop bike.

47. And the big five-ohh is approaching so very fast. Scary stuff, I'll be in the slow line for that love pill (Viagra) all to soon!

How old is the average FJR Forum participant? "Really". . . . . . . . . . . . . as in "really old".

Went to a wedding last weekend and danced with every woman there except the bridesmaids, because .... well, because they were just little girls. It's amazing to stop and realize I am no longer 35 years old, and then to realize my sons are almost 35 years old.

My cursor hovered over the 16-25 selection for a bit then I re read it and realized the OP wanted actual age not the mental state I am in. Perhaps we need a second poll to show a possible correlation of FJR owners being a bunch of childish hooligan crusty old guys ... woooot.
