600 Sportsbike. Squid mobile. I should take it to a track before I get hurt.

Harley 883 Sportster
You scored 3 moxie, 1 zeal, and -2 pomp!
You scored dead center average, lacking any of the personality quirks that normally drive people to motorcycling.

Guess I'm bland middleware.... though I'd despiute that

Yamaha YZF R1

You scored 7 moxie, 7 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.)

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 71% on moxie

You scored higher than 91% on zeal

You scored higher than 52% on pomp

These would have my parents/ wife/ mates nodding. I've always been like that- ever since I was just a wee fella. As for the last one- just as bloody well really- there's a lot of room for improvement

Oh no not for me - the Raven R1 is my ultimate dream bike when I grow up

Yamaha FJR1300
You scored 3 moxie, 8 zeal, and -2 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?

All I can say is 'Fuck off pillion.'
Rest is close. Except the bike - a ZRX1200 would be it.

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.

LOL I wouldn't even be able to hold it up!

*was hoping for a Ducati*

Thats calssic!

600cc Sportbike
You scored 8 moxie, 5 zeal, and 5 pomp!

**thehollowmen** · 22nd June 2005, 12:40

I got the FJR1300, which I'm quite pleased with

Suzuki VStrom
You scored 2 moxie, 5 zeal, and -4 pomp!
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.

HEY!
The Vstrom looks good! I know all these asian girls who like the cute anime eyes it has...

That's made me very popular
