I think it's because they can afford it when they get older?
I've had bikes all my life. Started with dirt bikes, trikes (yes, trikes!), and (don't laugh!) mopeds when I was a kid. (Don't mock my moped - I was the only 13 year old who had his won transportation when I was a kid!) When I was older I had a Honda Rebel, and then a Kawasaki Ninja - I wanted to be just like Tom Cruise in Top Gun. However, the reality of it was that was all I could afford for transportation at the time. Eventually I moved away from motorcycles until I went to work for Lightspeed Cash, when we all got motorcycles as a bonus one year. I got a Honda CBRxxx 1100 and I rode that for 40k miles without incident. I continued to ride when I moved to California to work for Playboy and one day... I just stopped riding, and eventually sold the bike six months later. No reason why, just got tired of it.
I completely fail to understand the old man Harley thing. For me motorcycles was about speed and adrenaline. Kicking back and going slow.... That's an old man thing.
