Too old for a sport bike?

[DoxaDavid]

Question for my fellow motorcycle affecianado's!

I have had the itch of late to get a sport bike. Not going to track it or anything and not even sure what I want. Haven't owned one since I was 18 and that wasn't a pure crotch rocket but a '85 Honda Nighthawk 700S. Loved that bike and was a hoot to drive.

So now I am in my late 40's and haven't worn any baseball caps backwards in years. Regardless, like soooo many of us that like the feeling of accelerating and carving up a good twisty road, my Harley CVO Street Glide even with an upgraded motor really isn't built for that.

Going 200mph or having a bike capable of it isn't that important to me. Having something that handles great and can accelerate like a bullet is more inline with what I think is fun.

My wife thinks I'm nuts and too old for that kind of bike. What do you fellow motorcycle enthusiasts think?

Same topic, suggestions as to what kind of bike may meet my needs? Ducati Monsters have always caught my eye. BMW K1200R looks like an interesting bike or a Buell 1125CR? Pure crotch rocket or a "sport" bike?

Any insight, suggestions or advice is welcome.
