Guest Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 just wanted to find out how old most people bikes are. when i pass my tests i will probably be getting a 1998-2000 bike and just wondered if other people have bikes this old or older Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullet5 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 (edited) just wanted to find out how old most people bikes are. when i pass my tests i will probably be getting a 1998-2000 bike and just wondered if other people have bikes this old or older What if we have multiple bikes? Do we take an average? In the garage currently:1999, 2008, 2010, and an 11 plate. Edited March 7, 2011 by bullet5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duane69 Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I think that we all start off on older bikes and work our way up in cc and value of bikes. some of the luck few get to have more than one bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

illvibetip Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 mines 2004. I found out after id bought it that my manafacturer (Hyosung) didnt start making decent engines/parts until after that time so i had to spend a lot on repairs. Its up to spec now and running really well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
