Im 23 and ride an 07 FXST that I got brand new. After buying a house, my friend since grade school moved in, chilled for a couple months and just got an 09 Street Bob, hes 22. They arent so out of reach if you make good choices financially and are patient. No baby mommas, black and blue credit, etc. I wasnt going to settle for anything less than a big twin - Now im in heaven 
People look at us twice when we're riding, looking at the bikes you wouldnt think someone our age would be able to have one especially with all the stuff added on over a little time. I love it.

I got my first harley at 33 and won't look back, but there are also a lot of "younger" 20 something riders here in my area, but the funny part is most of them were part of a crotchrocket stunt team up untill 2 years ago when it suddenly was cool to own a harley and not a crotchrocket. In the past they would have been sh*t talking people on big twins now they all ride baggers just a funny situation I've noticed
