I'm 32years old and also in Germany a youngster on Silver Wing
On Burgman 650 you will find more young people but in germany the young guys normaly ride bikes and scooters mostly have only 125ccm. The 300 and 400ccm are also popular but the really big scooters are rare and mostly ridden by the "old farts".
In other european countrys is another situation (take a look to Paris for example) but you can see that the "high tech" SECVT beats the "oldschool" Variomatic in nearly every european country (except italy, there is and will be forever Piaggio the leader): In Germany the Silver Wing was a long time not available because they don't sell it. The Burgman don't have this problem...

But i indeed that the EU and US market seems to be a complete different world. But the old US farts don't like the smooth cruising that is possible with the HFT because of the situation depending regulating? But i also think that the US mindset is a little bit more old school i can see this also in comparisation of the Boeing and Airbus Aircrafts complete different worlds

And thanks for the flowers I'm working on aircrafts and all the documentation is in english, therefore i have to work with technical english but i think my smalltalk needs a little bit more excerise. It's also a good training here and i bought also the complete Harry Potter Series in English after i read all the books in german several times
