RE: Too old for a Sportbike?
Thanks for the replies. The girlfriend wants me to get a Harley, but I think I'm going to get the F4i. I find riding extremely boring if all you do is go straight. I need a bike that likes to corner. You can't hang over the side of a Harley and drag a knee on the ground, so I guess the debate is over. I'm going to get the blue and black one.
I look forward to chatting with you guys/gals on this site.

I'd have to agree with everyone else. I'm 37 and ride a 99 F4. Most of the guys I know have Harleys, and it's funny to watch them when the road gets a little twisty or the speed gets above 70. They are hangin on for dear life to keep the wind from blowing them off the back.

RE: Too old for a Sportbike?
Yeah, you're too old. But I'm 42, so I'm really too old.
Some of my buddies ride Harleys and keep trying to convince me that I really want a hog. But I sure don't. Maybe someday a sport tourer like the Triumph Sprint ST, but more than likely I'll stick with a middleweight sport bike.

No doubt, I am 35 and just getting into the sport bikes. So just like what every one else said, your not to old. Get what you will like. And ride safe. But some day I will have a venom from Big Bear Choppers. lol

Who says you only have to have one bike. 
I have a VFR 800 with a more upright position with the heated grips and heated seat for my all year round any kind of weather riding and a CBR 1000RR for my "fun" zippy bike that I ride on sunny days and take to the track. I'm 33 and I have safety instructor friends that are pushing 50 and they all ride sportbikes and go to the track.
