I am 70 almost 71 still love to ride, started riding legally when I was 16 and that was on a 250 two stroke a lot different from what I ride now. I had a long spell when I did not ride, I had to have a car and could not afford to have a bike as well. My last three years of work I bought a bike for commuting that was a new 2009 Ninja 250R I rode it for 6 months and then changed for a Suzuki GSXF 650 which suited my needs much better. I am now on my final bike that's to say when I become too feeble to maneuver the K1300s I will give up the 250Kg is not a problem on the move, but pushing it around the garage is hard work. Having owned a super bike I could not go down to something smaller and lighter you become accustomed to having the power 30 mph to 170 mph in 6th gear is just insane but real fun.
