What is the Average Age of Spyder Owners? - 2nd Edition

[Dan McNally]

Jenfz09 found this four year old thread today which asked how old Spyder owners are. Mike thought it would be interesting to see how things may have changed in four years.

I'm going to go out on a limb, here, and guess that we are all four years older than we were, then!

I agree, Mike. So here you go... (Individual poll respondents will not be listed with names.)

The BIG F is 75 years young and going strong. Love my Spyder.

the misses and I are both 63!! two young kids on an f3!!

[HayRog]

70 .... and a half, and one day I might just grow up

[HIspyder]

54 but my F3 makes me feel like I'm 17 again. Granted, a little bit wiser now.

[Ron2andia]

Just hit 49.. Still consider myself young

[Utah Geezer]

Creeping up on 61. If I don't change my habits its questionable. As long as I make it to SpyderFest 2016 I will have lived long enough to check off another bucket list item. Two weeks and four days before I leave. Headed to the Smokey Mountains, Deals Gap and Tail of the Dragon before SpyderFest.

There have already been some interesting results, when you look at this poll and compare it to the similar one from four years ago. While the percentage of those who are in there 50s and 60s have stayed roughly the same, we have lost a good number of those in their 30s and 40s. Most significantly, our riders in their 70s have greatly increased. (and we have two more octogenarians ).

I'm not a statistician, but it looks to me like the average age of Spyder owners who have participated in these polls has increase by almost 10 years over the past four years. Or am I wrong?

Anyone care to offer a comment about what the difference in these polls means?

So upon voting in the poll at the top of the page I realized that I'm literally the only 20 something year old so far. Me and my wife are both 25 and I was thinking about this as I was on my way home tonight. I bought my spyder when I was 21, I bought one young but a medical condition always prevented me from riding a motorcycle, so the spyder was one of my only options. It was a pretty penny but worth it.

My brother and his wife are in their 20s and they have an RT-S. I've always liked hanging out with people older than myself, get to learn lots of new things that way and they are generally "better behaved", LOL. But it's nice to see that someone else in my brother's age group rides Spyders too.

I'm in the same boat I can make friends with anyone lol yeah I got a spyder cause I was unable to ride a regular bike and I've never looked back

I was 26 when I first got my RS, and now being 30 I traded up to the F3 Limited.

[Jenfz09]

I'm wondering how much of the Spyder demographics has to do with income? In my 20's, this would have been a much more difficult purchase. Having disposable income didn't really happen until my late 20's or early 30's. Usually, buying a car or paying your mortgage are your major expenses when you make the transition into becoming an adult.

You can buy a used motorcycle for 3k, so a potential 30k purchase is an entirely different event.

I am 72 and my wife is 71. We both love our Spyder. We had a 2011 RT and now a 2015 Spyder RTS. Before the Spyders we had a little 200 Yamaha. Funny story about the 2011 Spyder. We were in Florida, and my wife was getting her nails done. The owner of the salon looks out and says to his employee that the RT is a old persons ride. I mentioned some facts about it, and he said is that yours. I said yes and he started back peddling, saying nice things about it. Funny look on his face, like oh crap.

Was at my dealer this week he just sold a Spyder to a 91 year old gentleman about 2 weeks ago. Says he's doing fine.
