Saw this on the EXUP Brotherhood site. Some of the guy's there are getting hilarious results- ie they own an R1 but the test reckons they should have a Harley 883 :rofl:

Heres the link (http://www.okcupid.com/tests/take?testid=17525870837436152068)


Heres my result

Yamaha YZF R1
You scored 8 moxie, 7 zeal, and 1 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.) :Punk:

Seems pretty onto it... Not quite what I would've picked but hey (theres a FJR?).
This is what I got:


Yamaha FJR1300
You scored 3 moxie, 10 zeal, and -1 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?

You scored dead center average, lacking any of the personality quirks that normally drive people to motorcycling.
However, if you do ride, statistics would suggest that you are destined for a Harley-Davidson, probably something in the Softail line.

Oh Boy I would love a brand new H-D Softail, now all I need to do start saving again. :Punk:

Aprilia RSV Mille
You scored 11 moxie, -1 zeal, and 7 pomp! You're a fast and competent rider, but maybe not quite as good as you think you are. You've spent some big bucks on a sexy Aprilia, now go buy a beat-up Kawasaki EX500 as a track bike and get in some practice before you kill yourself. <o:p></o:p>

Seriously. The Mille's power scares the crap out of you at times, and you mostly bought it because you wanted something more unusual than a Ducati. Its not comfortable, you're not having fun, and you're riding less than you did on your old bike. If you're not willing to put in some serious practice time, you should really get something a little less purposefully lethal. <o:p></o:p>
<o:p></o:p>


Bullshit. :oi-grr: Although nice bike, why would I get a Aprilia when I could get a 95 ZX6R.. :yes:

.... you constantly work to improve your skills.

Just out of interests sake I did it by filling out the most mommaboys/nerdy opions. This is what came up:



The Volvo
You scored -12 moxie, -10 zeal, and -2 pomp!
You're mostly interested in getting from point A to point B alive and in one piece, and it seems like everybody out there is crazy and trying to kill you. Instead of noticing that a big part of the problem is your tentative and ambiguous behavior on the roads, you solve the problem by surrounding yourself with an impenetrable cage of metal.

In today's automotive market, you probably have a SUV instead of a Volvo. Don't kid yourself, you suffer from the exact same pathology.

In any case, you are entirely unsuited for motorcycling. In fact, your propensity for suddenly slamming on the brakes at the end of highway onramps, driving 55mph in the left lane, leaving your blinker on for 10 miles, and "being nice" by unpredictably stopping in a multi-lane road to let people turn in front of you makes you fairly unsuited for driving anywhere, particularly if there are any motorcycles around to get crushed by your tank-like car.

Honda Hawk
You scored -4 moxie, 2 zeal, and -2 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 scored higher than 65% on moxie

You scored higher than 49% on zeal

You scored higher than 81% on pomp

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. (If you must hang with the Harley crowd, they'll be less likely to give you grief if you choose the Buell, though.)

You have the potential to be a great rider. Take the MSF class, and choose a bike that won't hold you back!

Yep. I think you're on to it. I took the test again, exactly the same answers as before, except I answered "Hate Harleys" on the last question this time (unlike the previous time). And this time sure enough it gave me a Harley 883 Sportster. Which is actually rather nice, but ti shouldn't have changed the choice like that just based on my saying I hate Harleys. it's a pisstake against Harleys.

"You're straight! You can choose whether or not you should be proud of that. You have just enough gay in you to not look like a liar, but too little to be really gay. You're suprised, aren't you?"

So basically it means that I sell the HD and purchase a new Fireblade. Awesome. :ride:

No no. That's not logical. If you believe the test when it says's you're not gay, then you must believe it when it says that the right bike for you is a Harley. It is pointless to resist the urgings of your inner self. Don't fight it. You're among friends here. Come out of the closet. Try it now, it's not so hard "My name is Inlinefour, and I'm a secret Harley wannabe". See that's not so hard is it.You'll have to change your KB handle though

You scored dead center average, lacking any of the personality quirks that normally drive people to motorcycling.

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

Hmmm. I bought a Suzuki Toy Cruiser because it was in my price range and I'm a short arse (and after the CB550 I wanted something on which I could reach the ground) - not because I have desires to ride softail Harleys.

Wonder what you need to answer to come up with "ancient Classic Beemer or other relic".

I'm mostly stunned that there's something out there that thinks I "lack personality quirks" - there are newbs on this site that wouldn't make that mistake...

No no. That's not logical. If you believe the test when it says's you're not gay, then you must believe it when it says that the right bike for you is a Harley. It is pointless to resist the urgings of your inner self. Don't fight it. You're among friends here. Come out of the closet.

Harley 883 Sportster
You scored 3 moxie, 0 zeal, and 0 pomp! </TD></TR><TR><TD>You scored dead center average, lacking any of the personality quirks that normally drive people to motorcycling.

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

You might have noticed that's a lot of moolah for an (arguably) obsolete piece of machinery, and you're too rational and attitude-free to need the Biggest and Baddest that the marketeers tell you to buy. A far more reasonably priced taste of the Harley Kool-Aid is the 883 Sporty, a fun little beast that leaves you with plenty of cash to customize.

On the other hand, the only reason I'm bringing up the Harley-Davidson product line at all is due to the fact that Harley is the choice most people think of when they consider getting into motorcycling, and that's mostly because they don't know much about the alternatives.

Thought experiment: if you were the only person left on earth, and you could pick any motorcycle you wanted, what would you choose? Best looking or best engineered? Your test results don't really point in any direction strongly, so I'll try to nudge you towards substance over style.

Consider: a FXST Softail weighs 629lbs dry, the base version starts around $14k, and will make 75-80hp -- after you tweak it with pipes and a jet kit. A Buell XB12R weighs 395lbs dry, costs $10.5k and makes 103hp, stock. An Aprilia Tuono R weighs 417lbs, costs $12k, and makes 125hp, stock. (We won't even mention the bang for buck of the Japanese competitors.) Still a fan of retro-classic styling? Then at least consider Harley's V-Rod, which mixes in some modern engineering into the equation (596lbs, 125hp, $17k).

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. (If you must hang with the Harley crowd, they'll be less likely to give you grief if you choose the Buell, though.) You have the potential to be a great rider. Take the MSF class, and choose a bike that won't hold you back!

He he, look like I did better than most, at least it has got style, a hint of performance, and most of all it's not a Harley. The first paragraph is quite true, I am a snob, and I do like sex, power and agility.

Ducati Monster

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.

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.)

You faithfully attend Sturgis, Daytona, and Laconia, and have your bike unloaded off a trailer at the edge of town so that nobody sees that you didn't ride in.

Of all the personality types, you are least likely to wave back to a rider on a different brand of motorcycle.

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.

Yamaha FJR1300
You scored 5 moxie, 6 zeal, and -1 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?

:rofl:

Screenshot attached. weeee.... R1.

Having been riding for 5ish months, I love the fact that I apparently have got the experience and knowledge to match my speed. Although a ZZR doesn't have much so I suppose its right.

Also the constantly improving skills bit is 100% right. But then everybody needs to...

I think when I last did the test having only been riding for a week or two, I got an FJR thingie... what'll it be in a year? :devil2:

Ducati 996
You scored 7 moxie, 7 zeal, and 7 pomp!

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.

Okay, so it's only a quiz, but I thought this question was rather odd:

14. What appeals to you the most about motorcycling?
Risk
Challenge
Respect
Nothing in particular

None of the above. I just love the sensation of riding a bike, opening the throttle and feeling the pull of the acceleration, weaving round corners...

I answered Challenge, but it's not really correct.

Almost... Not a triumph fan, nor a fan of falling off, Don't do that too often (touchwood)

It Said:

You, Sir, are a Hooligan. You have a bit of an attitude, and you don't care what people think about it. Your idea of a good time is seeing how far you can carry a wheelie between lanes of traffic. You crash a lot, but that's part of the fun, isn't it? Anyone who doesn't like it can sod off.

Your weapon is the Triumph Speed Triple, a powerful and godawful ugly bike that fits your personality perfectly.

Wouldn't be my first bike, but my second (or more likely a Triumph Sprint). hmmm
