Is The Average Age of Harley-Davidson Owners Lower Than Most Think?

Maybe new purchases. But I think lots on older TCs. I don't see a ton of choppers on the roads in this part of the country.

Our local news reported that the average age of the Rally goers was something like mid 40's.
It sure did not appear to be that by the riders I saw over the whole Rally month. My guess would have been in the mid 60's. But that was just this area and not the whole picture, or take into count other countries with HD riders.

Eh. When I go to Harley demo rides, there is no lack of younger folk. I'd say 30's-40's is the largest group. There will be some older, and some younger. About the only demographic I don't see are teenagers.
Same with various casual events, like Bikes & Breakfast or such. Most of those Harleys that come are ridden by 30-40 year olds.
So based on what I see, it is far from simply old men buying Harleys. But even if it were, everyone ages. We're making old men just as fast as old men die off.
If I want to see a bunch of old guys, the vintage Japanese bike meets seem to have a whole lot of 'em!
