Welcome to the site. While I am probably one of the younger guys here (just hit the "big" 36 lol) I also tend to take it easy and leave the high speed and motocross riding to the guys with undamaged skeletons and joints (Back surgery at 28, 4 knee repairs, one ankle with tendons held by anchors, damaged shoulder muscles/nerves). My doctor has so eloquently described my body as being about 20 years older than I am.
Personally, as much as having a bigger 400cc+ engine is nice for on road riding, I have found that the smaller engine bikes are more enjoyable off road. They are far more forgiving to mistakes like a little too much throttle input, and tend to be much lighter and more manageable.
I wish I could get my 84 year old Grandfather out on a bike!
