Does anyone know the age demographic of Victory riders? I was just curious if it is younger then the Harley riders. I've had every kind of bike and about the only one that made me feel young was when I owned BMW's, there riders tended to be seasoned. Lol. I am 43 btw

Seasoned you say there sonny! At 60 never seasoned , pickled a few times but never seasoned!

Aw common Poptop, ya can't use the term "sonny" unless you're 75 or older lol. I don't think you should be allowed to say "back in the day" either unless you've passed 40.
I'll be 46 in Sept.

Keep in mind I was in my early 30s when I owned the BMW's, so anyone over 50 was seasoned! Not so much anymore as I get closer. I preferred aged like a good scotch and cigar.

Thats how I got pickled!!

I guess I fall more towards the other end just turning 32. I'm on my second victory both 8 balls in 9 years of riding.

Based on what I've seen at group meetings, Bikeweek and a Victory rally I would say the average age is late 30's, early 40's. Probably a bit younger than the Harley crowd but older than the metric crowd.

I have never been a Harley lover but probably fit into their Geezer Glide demographic (?). I'm 62, have been on my KP for 4 years. (have a 58 yo buddy who has hadan 05 Ness KP since 05 and a 10 Vision 8 Ball).

I'm 31 and just picked up my first Victory 2 weeks ago. 2012 Cross Country, coming off of sport bikes.

 

[Freerider]

I'm 54 and bought my first Victory July 5th, 2012, a Vision. I've had metrics my whole life due to the appreciation of well machined motorcycles. Always liked the look of Harleys, but could never pay the $$$. Been watching Visions since 2008. I laughed at its looks the first time I saw one. I've got confidence in this machine to shell out the $$$ I spent for it. I bought it strictly for my wife and I to travel on. I still have my Suzuki 2003 LC 1500 for my everyday bike. I love that bike. First time I rode it felt like too heavy for me. Now it feels too small. I'll always own a Victory, but I do like my Suzuki.

I think the age demographics vary by type of bike.
Spitball stereotyping here:
Hammer, Highball, Judge, Vegas.....and Hardball would be your 20-mid-30's crowd.
Cross Roads, Cross Country.....probably mid 30's into the later 40's.
Touring bikes (Vision and Cross Country Tour) woud be your over 45 crowd....
.....and last but certainly not least, your Kingpin riders: They tend to be your 30's to 105+ crowd....and according to DSJR70, the majority of those riding the Kigpins were around when Indian first came onto the market.

I have a great idea. How about making this thread a survey.
This would allow for ages to be posted in a way that is easy to follow.

I prefer a good long pour Rye over an ice puck and a full bodied 6x60 cigar. (60 in October)

I was trying to agree with mjw but the quote button wouldn't work for me. I think he's right on with his guess.
I'm 24 for the 3rd time.
Oh alright; 5th time.

38 when I bought my JP 42 when I got my XCT I do think price plays a big part as well as not having an enrty level bike in the VIc line up. Plus price I am sure there are a lot of 25 to 30 that would buy a Vic its just the price there not cheap so they go with something else then move up to Vic.

I agree would have bought the Hard ball For my first bike and thethe Cross Country for me and the Wife. But Wife and Money said buy Vision! I am 40yrs old riding 21 years now started with a sport bike. I love my 07Mean Streak SE (ashpalt edition) wont get rid of it ever.

 

[Huskerjoe]

Lets just say I'm less than 51 (wife says 14), picked up my '11 Vision this past Dec. for a wife/long haul traveler.
I still have my '07 M109R, as the wife puts it. It's my "Joe time" bike, over 32,000 on thatone and going strong.

 

[Ironman]

I just purchased a 2012 XC yesterday and will pick it up next week, I added the heated seats and grips, stage 1 exhaust,plus the trunk...I know,a wanna be XCT but I just love those Forged Bars.
I went from an M109R power cruiser and a Goldwing to the Vic. One bike was becoming a bit too young for me and the other was making me feel too old. The XC is just right .
Oh, by the way I'm 64 but I still have some juice left..lol

 

[customgreenxc]

im 24 and on my second victory first was a hammer now on a 2012 cross country
