Natural Migration to Touring Bikes?

I'll bet that if a similar poll was done for Dynas, Softails and Sportsters, it would show that the younger guys are riding those bikes. I'd also bet that there is a "natural migration" from those bikes to the Touring bikes as the young guys hit their late 30's and 40's.

That's my dime-store analysis based on the limited data set.

Only 2 of 411 Bagger Riders are women? That's less than 1%. Is this accurate nationwide?

I think you'll find a much higher percentage of female riders on those other bikes too, but that's because of the size/weight of the bikes.
