I've a mate who is over 70 and has been looking at buying another bike but there's a glitch you can't get anyone to let you have a test ride over that age.

A friend of mine recently test rode a CCM450. He's over 70.
I guess it depends on how much they want the sale?
GSA, CCM GP450, Moto Guzzi Lemans II. Once had a K1200GT

That's fair enough but well outside your normal franchised stuff.

Maybe there not here, Today witnessed a 72 years old man test driving a 1600 GTL Exclusive (the only one in Greece), they only requested a valid driving license.
For the record he bought it for 32,400 euros. Talking about a mans dream and heart, and wallet.
Embrace the wind.
