The Motorcycle Personality Test

[Mental Trousers]

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.)

You scored 7 on moxie, higher than 68% of your peers.
75/100 You scored 9 on zeal, higher than 75% of your peers.
67/100 You scored 5 on pomp, higher than 67% of your peers.

A 883 Sportster!

But it did go on to say...

"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."

hahaha me too, (the 883) and my results were 0 moxie, 5 zeal, -3 pomp : "dead centre average without any of the quirks usual to people who ride motorbikes". What a boring old fart! lol

That's good news! Just means we're normal - not some egotistical attention seeking show-off with a death wish like many motorcyclists.

My result:

ST4 - pretty accurate (if I could afford one ... )
"You love riding, simply for the sake of riding. On the way to work, you sometimes find yourself taking the long way. The 50-miles-of-back-roads long way. Your mastery came about as a side effect from your love of the sport, although to be honest, you originally got into it because you thought a motorcycle would make you look cool.
You need a bike that can handle your addiction to the twisties as well as reasonably carry two on a weekend trip through the mountains. Because you are a bit image-conscious and have a touch of ego, your bike is a Ducati. A practical Ducati, but a Ducati nonetheless."

Definitions of moxie on the first page could emphasise the agressive, risk-taking, ballsy nature of the word though - skill is not a close association although it has this in relations specifically to baseball.

Urban dictionary does OK:
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=moxy

but OED gives the full spectrum of meaning:
Courage, audacity, spirit; energy, vigour; enterprise; skill, shrewdness

Overall in terms of this quiz I think you can read it as "squidiousity & lawlessnessness" (like my new word?)

It's an 883 for me ! They must've seen my avatar.

Have been toying with making an XR750 flat tracker replica for years.
No action tho, still dreaming. Been buying too many other bikes.

Must say I've been eyeing up FXDs on Trade me recently.
Dark colour with matte engine, cases and exhaust for me, no shiny bits.

Came as a surprise as I always thought I was a conservative BMW sort of a guy.

Oh well, see yiz in the cruisers forum...
