Motorcycle Personality test

**Big Dog** · 4th July 2005, 23:44

Yamaha YZF R1
You scored 7 moxie, 8 zeal, and 0 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.)

Why would I downsize?

Good fun, I got R1. 9 for moxie but Im nnot sure if thats a good thing!

**jimbo600** · 21st September 2005, 20:39

Bloody FJ1300

Heres what it said:

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?

FULL OFF SHIT....I RIDE A TL1000S !!!! only wimps ride R1's

**Sniper** · 21st September 2005, 20:44

I got...........

600cc Sportbike
You scored 7 moxie, 1 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.

Just so Ya all thought, I was Shitting Ya!

**texmo** · 21st September 2005, 20:57

wuts moxie zeal and pomp mean?

Aprilia RSV Mille
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

**ajdarrell** · 21st September 2005, 21:14

This is what I got....

Yamaha FJR1300
You scored 5 moxie, 8 zeal, and 1 pomp!

Seems to be a common result

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?

**Madguitarist!** · 21st September 2005, 21:51

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.

Ha! Think I'm going to have to get my licence first.

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.
