    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.

    Got the same. Got part of it right anyway I do want a 600. But not as my main bike.

    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.

    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...

    OH DEAR

    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 ?

    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

    I get an R1

    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.

    Yeah

    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 suspect that the dude who invented the test
    1. Likes Yamaha's
    2. Dislikes Harely's
    3. HATES Volvo's
    4. Thinks that squids all ride 600's- (when we all know they ride GSXR1000's.....)
    5. 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!
