I went to a motorcycle dealer's open house this past weekend. I wanted to see who their customer were, and find out if we could do a cross-marketing event with our grand opening.
I noticed two things: (1) the riding position of these street bikes is one of three types, and (2) the customers are mostly older, at least the ones who go to open houses. Even the music was old.
I like the bike that Vash posted. It looks aggressive and capable. The Bristish bikes all sort of have an upright riding posture. The Ducatis and sport bikes have a sort of football hiker position, and the Indians, the most gorgeous bikes, have a posture that can best be described as "cowgirl".
I wonder why, given the older customers, more bikes don't have windscreens and saddle bags to put old guy stuff in, like pills and glasses.
