Oh dear god.
I had to sell my adventure bike cuz I'm too old.
I put about 55K adventure miles on a few different bikes. The last one in the series was the R1200GS. Would go zero to sixty in about 3 seconds.
I wonder what he will do when he gets hurt or too old to ride a conventional bike. I'll bet he switches to an e-bike rather than give up cycling. Who knows, maybe he'll trade for an $8000 Pinarello Dyodo ebike.
At my age, 68, and with the back and foot injuries I have suffered over the years, I am grateful to be able to ride when I can. The E-bike gives me range I wouldn't otherwise qualify for. What other people think of me is none of my business
