I'm always trying to do my best to encourage young people and women to ride motorcycles, I'm not interested in sleeping with them and that does not factor into my support for them. They are a VERY large part of our future if we want #motorcycles in the west to survive
In Asia everyone rides, they are the ultimate proletariat machine. In the west it seems to be the domain of fat old dudes (average age being 39) on huge tour bikes eating bacon rolls.

•53 here, and I've ridden bicycles and motorcycles all my life.
I'm with you. I love seeing a lady riding a bicycle or a motorcycle. It's a rare event even though, recently, there seems to be a new wave of young lady riders around town.

•Yes, you're right. I think these two will be wonderful choices for people who prefer a lighter and less powerful bike.

•My Bonnie T120, for example, although it's a 1200cc machine, is very mild and calm, too. 😀 It's a bit heavy, though...

•Which: the 400cc or the T120/100?

•May I ask why?

•Yes, I see. It's a different kind of animal in that regard. 😉

•Thank you! I agree. 😉 I've been in love with British bikes since I was a child. Triumph rebirth was THE motorcycle happening of my life. Bonnies mean all that to me!

•It's been a pleasure also to see other classic brands coming back to life again, and watch the growth of #RoyalEnfield too!
#BroughSuperior is another example, as well as #Norton (which as always been around), #BSA, etc. And there are several other nice brands...
Those are all classic brands that are trying to keep the original spirit of #motorcycling alive! I love that!
It was very sad when there were only the Japanese brands alive dictating the rules in the global #motorcycle market + #Harley-Davidson and #BMW.
