Yes...may have something to do with the ice on the road.

my reply to your insurance ending the ss era argument still stands, if the only issue was insurance most riders over the age of 35 would all be on ss bikes, no?
I mean over the last 5 years brat!Yes...may have something to do with the ice on the road.

Genuinely curious, what do you think is the reason for SS decline, if not insurance?
I believe insurance is the main factor. And I also believe that around that 35ish age is when people either lose interest and gravitate towards other, more comfortable bike segments and/or just can't handle the riding position due to age. In the GTA, it's near impossible to own a SS for someone under 30 years old. Only one way left is to be licensed for 6+ years, otherwise have to be at least 30. SSs mostly tend to attract the younger crowd, majority of whom can't afford insurance.

Dude I agree, people getting older have so many good options these days compared to an SS so they don't bother. Like that 150 hp ST mentioned earlier.
But those under 30 don't really got a shot at even trying the whole SS thing in the first place, Insurance makes sure of that. If these guys can't get them, who will? Hence the decline in the Ontario SS scene.
