It seems a lot of attention is put towards how old (or young) you are so we might as well have a graphic to show us :2thumbs:

How old are you?!?!!

If this poll runs true, then it looks like BRP needs to adjust their advertising. ;)

Well I'm currently 64. I purchased my 2012 RTS in March of 2013. My previous ride was a Triumph Rocket. I guess I can be called a member of the over the hill bunch.

I'm 44, bought my 2012 RT SE5 A&C last June.

I'm 81 years young, and traded in my FJR1300 for the Spyder back in 2011. Been riding for nearly 40 years. Honda CX-500, Honda CB900-C, another Honda CX-500 project bike, Honda GoldWing, Suzuki Burgman, and the Yamaha FJR1300-AE. The Spyder is just as much fun, and a whole lot safer for an "older" guy. I do LOVE IT !!!!!
Take care out there,

Hi ARTIC,

Those numbers tell me that BRP is wasting their money paying Danica Patrick to be their spokesgirl.

They ought to consider PrairieSpyder (Patti) if their market is as mature as it seems.

And that is a compliment, Patti. ( Runs & hides, if necessary ).

Me, I'm in the 14.9% group.

:agree: Patti is one Lady in here that'd make a great spokesperson... :thumbup:
But...
We really are BLESSED with such an abundance of Ladies in here that could do the job; picking just one... or even TEN of them, would be tough! :shocked: nojoke
So to ALL of you...
Thanks!

If this poll runs true, then it looks like BRP needs to adjust their advertising. ;)

Or they desperately need to build a sportier spyder that might attract the "younger" crowd. That would double their market share instead of trying to limit it to one group.

Just sayin'...........

Well I am 72 on May 31st. I bought my Spyder a 2008 GS because my wife said
I am getting to old and she was worried about riding with me, however
I still have my ST1300 and ride it most every day. The Spyder is my Sunday with the wife ride...

Yes, there will be. We were both at Spyderquest on our Spyders last year. We had just picked up Mark's RTS a few days before we left for NY. We had a great trip and are looking forward to meeting up with all of the Spyderlovers again in September.

I don't believe BRP is wasting money paying Danica to be their spokesgirl. I'm 67 and she still looks good to me.

I'm 73 and, like you, she sure does still look good to me. :thumbup:
