    Just posted this on another thread but thought it would be interesting to find out.

    Just out of curiosity...

    I wonder what the average age of riders giving positive feedback on the KLR650 is, versus the average age of those who think the KLR650 is a pile of shart...

    I'd bet to hypothesize that the positive comments come from older riders (40-60 yrs old)

    and that the negative comments come from younger riders (20-30 years old)

    Simple answers will suffice, so no short stories please!

    Like so:

    What you think: Good, OK, or Bad

    What your age is: um, a number goes here

    Example for me:

    OK-26


    This should be interesting...:evil

    Good - 37

    Too simple, though. I think there's a younger set that likes the MX bikes, KLR-lovers in the middle, and older guys with $$$ who like BMWs.
