I guess I'm on the right sort of motorcycle.

Yamaha FJR1300

You scored 1 moxie, 10 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 coworker, who has 2 Ducati's, scored a Harley

I think there are only about five bikes that it chooses from.

I wouldn't register - many think the site is phishing for email addresses.

7 Moxie, 9 zeal, 1 pomp.

I "won" an R1 as well, although the S is my perfect bike. The R1 is for midgets.

How do I get rid of the last pomp? ;-)

Colorado riders, remember that the Frisco "Buck-a-bone" BBQ show is on between 10AM-3PM tomorrow. Been great in the past!

Maybe you get the Sporty if you answer the last question "No, I can't stand Harleys"...

It's really an ad for Yamaha.

What, no BMWs?

Yikes. Same bike and 2 out of 3 numbers about the same as Steve C. Who'd have thought that?
On the other hand, my numbers are almost identical to Steve A and I get a different bike completely. Truth be told, I'd like something about half way between those two (R1 and FJR1300) Guess I already have that, in style and weight - just not in power. Now THAT would be cool.

A friend who just started riding last year got this one (as did another who rides motocross):

A coworker, who doesn't ride, got a Honda Hawk 650 (the old twin with the single sided swingarm)
