Motorcycle personality test - takes less than 5 min
http://www.okcupid.com/tests/t...52068
Please take the test, be honest, and share the results.
I am a little freaked out by the results of my test.
"Yamaha FJR1300
You scored 2 moxie, 8 zeal, and -1 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. "
How did they know???

Re: Motorcycle personality test - takes less than 5 min (falcongsr)
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
Most of this is true but i do not go through traffic at warp spped and i would never wear a shirt and shorts!!

this test sounds like it was written by some old guy that got pissed off at some sport bike rider. there seems to be only two outcomes...one is a positive view of a "master rider" and the other is of a "squid". but at the same time, he took the time to actually make this test...which says a lot more about him than my results say about me..hahah

true. looks like there are only 3 valid answers. not very scientific. probably created by an FJR owner.

Harley 883 Sportster
You scored 0 moxie, 2 zeal, and 1 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.
(ive never seen a harley that i could see myself on)

Ducati Monster
You scored 3 moxie, 5 zeal, and 6 pomp!
You're a bit of a snob, but otherwise well-adjusted.
Your bike is the Ducati Monster. Sexy. Powerful. Agile. Italian style in a badass matte black. (definitely the color scheme I would choose for a Monster)
Of all the test takers, you are most likely to have been hoping for your result to indicate that your bike is a Harley. It isn't. Sorry. You show the potential to become a superior rider, and you need a bike that encourages and rewards your learning. The Harley will just hold you back, and you'll have nagging feelings that something is wrong.
The Suzuki SV series is also a good bet, (owned an SV before my R6) but it wouldn't appeal to you. Far too Common.

My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 11% on moxie
You scored higher than 68% on zeal
You scored higher than 86% on pomp

Re: (ScareyH22A)
You scored 10 moxie, 7 zeal, and 6 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.
Dont agree with the attitude and ego but the rest is kinda true hehe.

Re: Motorcycle personality test - takes less than 5 min (falcongsr)
You have the characteristics of a master street rider.
I just got my first bike 4 days ago and have only riden it 6 times in a school parking lot up the street, haha.
Guess I'm a fast learner.

You might have noticed that's a lot of moolah for an (arguably) obsolete piece of machinery, and you're too rational and attitude-free to need the Biggest and Baddest that the marketeers tell you to buy. A far more reasonably priced taste of the Harley Kool-Aid is the 883 Sporty, a fun little beast that leaves you with plenty of cash to customize.
On the other hand, the only reason I'm bringing up the Harley-Davidson product line at all is due to the fact that Harley is the choice most people think of when they consider getting into motorcycling, and that's mostly because they don't know much about the alternatives.
Thought experiment: if you were the only person left on earth, and you could pick any motorcycle you wanted, what would you choose? Best looking or best engineered? Your test results don't really point in any direction strongly, so I'll try to nudge you towards substance over style.
Consider: a FXST Softail weighs 629lbs dry, the base version starts around $14k, and will make 75-80hp -- after you tweak it with pipes and a jet kit. A Buell XB12R weighs 395lbs dry, costs $10.5k and makes 103hp, stock. An Aprilia Tuono R weighs 417lbs, costs $12k, and makes 125hp, stock. (We won't even mention the bang for buck of the Japanese competitors.) Still a fan of retro-classic styling? Then at least consider Harley's V-Rod, which mixes in some modern engineering into the equation (596lbs, 125hp, $17k).
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!

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?
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 35% on moxie
You scored higher than 85% on zeal
You scored higher than 49% on pomp
