Greetings everybody! So just out of curiosity what do you folks think the average age of a ZX rider would be? I know in my case the salesman looked at me and said "you want to buy that? Anyway, I turn 65 in April and I got my 2024 Anniversary bike about two weeks ago. No this isn't my first bike by any means as it shares space with numerous Harleys (from 1917 to 2018) and one old Triump. And yes...... I have raised the handlebars and moved the foot pegs lol. We are adapting each other.

68 here...

had been riding smaller cc bikes before switching about 10 years ago to a zx14r (and to a zzr1400, as they are called in Europe)

talking to my dealers in Indonesia where i live, and in Europe where i spend some free time, they reckon these models are "old men's toys" and as such they do not have them on their showroom inventories anymore

I'm 69. I'll be 70 in June. Still doing roll on races from 40 mph to about 180 mph, although I said in a post about a year or so ago that I was done doing that. Never lost a race. It's very addictive. I really don't want to keep doing that. Something that will help me stop - in a month or 2 I'm ordering a 2025 Kawasaki Z900RS from my local dealer. I talked to him today and got an out the door price. My wife said I'll have to sell my 14R. I said no way. I ordered the 14R in January 2012 and I'm never selling it.
I just love the Z900RS. (RS for retro sport). I love the upright position and the retro look.
I had bought a 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 brand new and these remind me so much of that bike except with more horsepower and modern technology. I guess I'm going back in time to my 20's.
If anyone wants to check one out, just punch up 2025 Kawasaki Z900RS candy tone red walk around.
jjohnson, congratulations on your new anniversary 14R. Rook on here has one, too. They are beautiful bikes and you're going to love it.

70 on 01/25/2026. Let them come. I don't drop gears I just twist the right wrist. Addictive!

77 here and my 2nd bike was an X6 Hustler. Cash waiting for the next fastest production bike from Mother Tea. Has to exceed the 14 in all respects or no sale.

67 here and heading to the NHRA division 4 finals August 14th at the Texas Motorplex.

59 on Halloween.

I was really surprised to see that Hub is 77 years old. I always figured he was around 55.
77 - no wonder he has so much wisdom. He's been around the block a few times. Lots of experience in life.

57 here as of yesterday.

70 in November

78 this past May...bought my first new bike in 1965 and I've been riding ever since.
