Your result for The Motorcycle Personality Test by ...

Yamaha YZF R1
You scored 9 moxie, 10 zeal, and -1 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.)

Turned out about right for me 


Got the same response on my test except 7 moxie, 10 zeal and 5 pomp...

I'm a Squid...LOL  I have no Idea how they score this

Your result for The Motorcycle Personality Test by ...

600cc Sportbike
You scored 7 moxie, 3 zeal, and -2 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.

12 or 13 Harley riders and none of us belong on one. No wonder the world's so screwed up.

I stopped when the first question defined an active rider as someone who rides 2000 miles a year.  Fun game perhaps.  But they don't have a clue what they're talking about.

They should have had that one for 20K

Ducati Monster, what no moxie.

They have me on a Ducati 996
Sex on wheels

Cool!

 

Me too...............

Ducati 996
You scored 9 moxie, 9 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.

12 or 13 Harley riders and none of us belong on one. No wonder the world's so screwed up.

Mmmm, we aren't the average Hog rider (if there is such a thing), most likely you could substitute any of our SE's for a big sport bike.

Ducati Monster
You scored 5 moxie, 0 zeal, and 9 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.

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, but it wouldn't appeal to you. Far too Common.

I wanted to know what the Ducati Monster looked like so I had to go look.
