    I saw this thread for first time today and thought I would chime in. Bought 2008 XB12Ss when I was, gulp....57? Really? I am 59 now. Really? Doesn't feel it. I digress.
    I probably did purchase this due to midline crisis....if late 50's qualifies as midlife. Continually think I should get a cruiser or maxi scoot. Then I ride "da beast" again. Absolutely puts my mind at ease, shakes some extra testosterone into my system while idling and generally makes my life seem more tolerable. Not sure if "da beast" will ever part ways with me.

    I`ve been riding since the age of 12 and still loving it, I am 63 and have owned and ridden many bikes, I currently
    own a 2008 XB12STT and rate it one of the best. Age is a number, what counts is your attitude and approach to life.
    Live life to the fullest you only have one chance. :)

    44 as of this past Saturday (28-Dec).

    Previously owned a 2008 Ulysses XT.

    Just picked up a 2009 XB12Scg this month. Glad to be back in the family.

    This was my first motorcycle (2005 XB12Scg) ever, I bought it before I even knew how to ride or even taken my MSF. I was 39yrs, now 40yrs.

    Cheers!

    Agree with Busta... age is just a nbr.. Will be 60 this year ... probably " a doyen " ( one of the oldest ) on the forum.... bought my first street bike in 1972... a Ducati 750 ... ( those were the days my friend I thought they' d never end ..) there was no speed limit in Europe ( where I live ).... Many bikes later, mostly Ducati, Laverda, calmed down a bit when speed limits ( and traps ) were installed.... after some BMW's, a Kawa and a Honda.. my first Buell was an X1 Lightning .. a Millenium Special Blue/white Stripe nbr 191/350 ( 1999 ).... Speed became less important.. Just loved the way it felt....
    Currently have a XB12XP ... one of the last ( model 2010 Vin nbr 00011 )... Probably one of the few that arrived in Europe.. Bought it brand new at the local Harley's ... ...Adore it....
    Just enjoy life.. whatever you like doing... Ciiaaaoooo !!!!!
