I sell a lot of XR's: youngest customer in Mid 20's, oldest in early seventies, and in typical bell curve fashion the majority of my customers are 45-55. I'm 52 and it will most likely be the next I buy, to compliment my RT...
How old are you S1000XR riders? I am 71 and bought my XR last fall. I figure I may be at the top of the age range. I am guessing this will be my last new motorcycle. I like everything about the XR except being stuck in traffic at 35 mph. The engine makes an odd sound at that pace. I find the seat even passable,though as the miles pile up I may change my mind about that.
63 here. I'll admit I added an Air Hawk inflatable seat cushion on mine for long trips. Helps my bony backside. I also use it as my trackbike and love it - such fun passing folks on dedicated trackbikes with slicks when I'm on street tires, and adventure bike with lights and license plate. Will be riding it a lot this season - BRP, Adirondacks, track.
i'm 72 and plan to ride as long as i can. I'm looking seriously at the 2020xr as a daily driver bike. I've already got a long distance tourer and a nice dual sport. The xr just looks so sexy. I bought an f850gs for my daily driver but, well, i've worked hard all my life and when is it time to have fun? Yesterday! Anyway, very interested in finding out why you decided on the xr and any upgrades you purchased with it, and your experience so far, if you've got the time.

I'm 63 and have a 16 XR. This bike is awesome. Tested the R1250RT and K1600 but this bike fit me best. I also love the low suspension option.
I've been looking at a 2016 for sale all farkled up for about US$9600 with 34K on the clock. It's just like yours, all red, but no low suspension which might be a prob.
Which LED bulb conversion did you use, and are you happy with it?As far as where I've gone with it:
Factory headlights are dim,
so I put in LED headlight...
These are the bulbs....Which LED bulb conversion did you use, and are you happy with it?
I'm 66, have a 2018 in Ocean Blue. I'm not fond of the color but love the bike otherwise. I too have a 30" inseam. I bought a Sargent low seat and lowered the forks in the triple-clamps by 10mm and all is good now.

For those following behind us those are the exact same lights and caps I used and so far they are working great. In addition I bought these marker lights that match the color of the headlights and look great...These are the bulbs....

I then used these covers to protect the bulbs....
