Me....

Honda Hawk
You scored -4 moxie, -1 zeal, and 0 pomp!

Your interest in riding a motorcycle is purely practical - its cheap, easy to get through the city, and you can park anywhere. You are unlikely to ever ride anywhere except between home and work or school. In order to maximize the practicality of riding, you read the magazine reviews and choose a bland yet utterly reliable Honda, a sensible motorcycle for sensible people.

You have the traits of a sensible and effective rider, with an utter lack of concern for image, so you should feel comfortable riding a sensible, effective, and hideous bike like the VStrom.
You are the rider most likely to Rhino-Coat your bike for the sake of practicality.
Huh - and that's just the bike I've been thinking about, too.  (Not that I've ever even seen one ... yet.)

Yamaha YZF R1
You scored 7 moxie, 11 zeal, and 3 pomp!  
You're addicted to speed, but have the knowledge and experience to match. Although you like to win, you don't really care so much about competing with others as much as competing with yourself.
Your bike is the Yamaha YZF R1. Given how easily the rear wheel on this beast spins up coming out of turns, it is fortunate that you constantly work to improve your skills. (I've seen more R1s crash at track days than any other bike.)

It was a close decision with the Suzuki GSXR1000, but your personality seemed a bit more R1-ish. (But hey, I could be wrong. Its only a silly test.)

I do kinda like the V-Strom - not for me, but I can see the appeal.

You haven't seen one?  Hie thee to the 'Zuke dealer!  They're cool in person.

Ducati Monster
You scored 5 moxie, 3 zeal, and 7 pomp!
You're a bit of a snob, but otherwise well-adjusted.

Your bike is the Ducati Monster. Sexy. Powerful. Agile. Italian style in a badass matte black.

Of all the test takers, you are most likely to have been hoping for your result to indicate that your bike is a Harley. It isn't. Sorry. You show the potential to become a superior rider, and you need a bike that encourages and rewards your learning. The Harley will just hold you back, and you'll have nagging feelings that something is wrong.

The Suzuki SV series is also a good bet, but it wouldn't appeal to you. Far too Common.

that's got to be the most depressing result i've ever gotten from a personality test.  i'm not knocking the Sporster, just not my thing.  apparently it was assigned to me by default.

Yamaha FJR1300 for me.  2 moxie, 9 zeal, -3 pomp.

You have the characteristics of a master street rider. On the way to work, your love for riding sometimes leads you to take the long way. The 50-miles-of-back-roads long way. You live for the perfect road, and plan vacations around riding.
You need a bike that can handle your addiction to the twisties as well as comfortably carry two on a weekend trip through the mountains. Your bike is the FJR1300. Can I borrow it someday?
NO, you can't borrow it!

now im honestly not quite sure how to take this.....


600cc Sportbike
You scored 9 moxie, 2 zeal, and 1 pomp!  
You are a squid. Your bike is a 600cc Japanese Sportbike. Take your pick, it really doesn't matter, since you're going to wad it.
You are the primary source of extra bits of fairing plastic on eBay.

When you're riding in the mountains, you have a hard time keeping up with that Olde Pharte on a Triumph Thruxton without blowing the centerline in the twisties and going WFO on every straight. (You're not a bad rider, but you're just not as good as you think you are.)

On a hot day, you're likely to be seen weaving through highway traffic at warp speed, wearing sneakers and a t-shirt blowing up your back.

The good news for you is that this is a temporary phase in your riding career. You will either (a) buzzsplat or (b) become more acutely conscious of your own mortality after a few minor but eye-openingly lucky crashes.

Take it to the track. You'll live longer.

But its friggin huge! Planning weekend 2-up riding? I know anyone who would want to go with me. I think I'm sticking with the gs for a while.

At least it didn't say a harley or some big cruiser. Nothing wrong with them, I just don't really care for that kind of bike.

You exhibit an overexuberance in all respects that cannot be satisfied. Your attitude and ego are over the top, yet you actually have the skills to match. Its infuriating. People would hate you, but you're too damned nice. You always ride like its your last day to live, and leave bystanders vaguely aroused.
Your bike is the Ducati 996. Sex on wheels.

Oh, Dear God no!

However, if you do ride, statistics would suggest that you are destined for a Harley-Davidson, probably something in the Softail line.

however...

While the Sportster is a reasonable compromise, you may discover that you enjoy the added feedback provided by standard-style bikes such as the Suzuki SV or the Ducati Monster.

Well, at least I can get the SV! :thumb:

FJR1300 for me. Never really thought about this bike before, but I thought I look into it because I will more than likely get something bigger next year. So I've been reading about this bike, and it looks like a good one, though not a small one obviously.

There are some comments about the large size of the FJR1300; it's dry weight is 522 pounds. Certainly more than the SV1000 and the sportbikes, but less than some of the other bikes I've seen. Of course a full tank and saddlebags would make it heavier. But I have to admit that the more I look at the info on this bike the more I think I like it, even though it's not small. I haven't really read anything bad about it, and I've seen a lot of good. I would love to sit on one, the local dealer just sold one so I missed seeing one in person.
