Nice bike and welcome, you don't have to be old to have a bagger. Just think of the extra stuff you can carry secured, and if you really feel the need for a little speed, plenty of engine mods.

Congrats on your Harley. I to am 30 years old and I ride an Ultra Classic. 10 years ago I would not have been caught dead on a bagger but now I wouldn't ride anything else.

Wanted a bagger since age 32, but couldn't afford one until now at age 36. I could only buy a non bagger HD if it were a 2nd bike. It would be a Wide Glide with a 110 or 120r.
35th bday I bought mine and it was my first Harley. Grew up on moto and street bikes. Love my BaGGer!!!

welcome to the forum and congratulations on your new bike. it's great that it has the evo motor, they're really dependable, and got the "cool factor" going on, big time. they're the last harley motors that sound like a traditional harley should sound like at idle.
