Very interesting.![]()
Quite accurate for what I do with my current 150cc bike, except it's a Suzuki![]()
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.
90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
600cc Sportbike
You scored 6 moxie, 3 zeal, and 5 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.
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 65% on moxie
You scored higher than 49% on zeal
You scored higher than 81% on pomp
Pretty much bang on except the sell shit on ebay. I'll be on a 6hundy or duke soon... And prob shouldn't hoon on the road so much.
Because I can...
Harley 883 Sportster
You scored 4 moxie, 2 zeal, and 3 pomp!
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.
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!
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Really interesting to note the two grades of response. Some people are saying "Yeah, about right". Others vehemently denying they could ever be that sort of rider.
Too close to home in some cases maybe ?

But I don't want to be 'dead centre average' ... Wahhh!![]()
Grow older but never grow up
According to the test I should be on a Harley Softcock or as a second choice an 883 Skirtster, [both bikes being nowhere near as good as my Guzzis] but these Harleys would be at least interesting to own if nothing else
ITS NOT GETTING WHAT YOU WANT,BUT WANTING WHAT YOUVE GOT

Modified the blurb, sent to wife... maybe that will convince her ...
naw bollox to that, The test missed out one very important question "what is the maximum distance you are likely to travel in a day?" question. My answer D: 1000+ Miles.
Motorbike only search
YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - CRC AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE CRC. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE DUCT TAPE
Yamaha FJR1300
You scored 5 moxie, 6 zeal, and 5 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?
Thats a pretty accurate test - I could be happy on that!
I got the 600 sports bike too, take it too the track my arse, I will get hurt there too, the test is fucked up, I'm a prime candidate for a gixxer thou!
Now where did I put my riding jandles?
I suspect that the dude who invented the test
- Likes Yamaha's
- Dislikes Harely's
- HATES Volvo's
- Thinks that squids all ride 600's- (when we all know they ride GSXR1000's.....)
- Has rigged the test to be complimentary to people who think like him.... and piss off those who don't
Entertaining watching peoples reactions though eh!
My daughter telling me like it is:"There is an old man in your face daddy!"
