It seems there are so many rumors about Harley Davidson and what the future holds for them as a company.

One I often hear is that if Harley doesn't change there older demographic of riders will die off and no one wants that old technology thus Harley will meet there demise.

I see lots of younger folks on Harley's and just out of curiosity I wonder what the age range is here on the forum .

Not sure what this will accomplish but I'm 63 and got my license 47 years ago in 1967. Started riding 8 years prior to that on dirt bikes.

Pretty obvious H-D will change with the times. Kids like Tech and brand names. H-D will be fine. LED lighting, water cooled....They are moving in the right direction.

Are you asking our birth age or how old we act?

Harley's are not cheap to buy or own; wont surprise me if we are older. I would bet the age group that owns any premium brand vehicle is higher than a non-premium brand.

I believe that the HD has the older demographic because of their price point. My son and his buddies who ride (19, 20, & 21 year olds) are still living fast and cheap. A used late model sport bike is less than $5,000. Same thing with their cars. Little, fast, and easily modified. How many guys in their 40's or older do you see driving a drift type car or riding 2 up on a sport bike?
