Any of you have any experience with this? Is it possible to still ride
after a hip replacement? And does it make a difference if it's a sport
bike?

I know two guys, one 70 and the other 66, who have had hips replaced and
still ride. One rides a Beemer R1200GS and the other an R1200ST. They
have no problems.

The passenger on this sidecar had a hip replacement.

He also raced an EX500 solo bike in both sprints and endurance races.
He is in his 60s.

*She* is scraping her butt. That is a father/daughter team spending
some quality time together. Some of the passengers wear knee pucks on
their butts, elbows, shoulders.
