But he is a King, when hes on his own,
Hes got a bike, and thats his thrown,
And when he rides, hes like the wind,
To you and Me, Hes a Renegade.

Yamaha YZF R1
You scored 6 moxie, 8 zeal, and 4 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.)
My test tracked 3 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:
You scored higher than 73% on moxie
You scored higher than 79% on zeal
You scored higher than 77% on pomp
holy FCUK!!! who would of thought
To be honest, I did.
I'm just not sure how long I'd live, if I gave in and got something quick.

I'm not going to do this test...the result is sure to be a white Pan-European...then everyone will take the p155.

Yamaha FJR1300
You scored 3 moxie, 9 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. Can I borrow it someday?

I'm betting that the test doesn't feature Beemers or Pans. The closest thing would be the Yamaha FJR1300. Knowing that you can now poke fun at those who got that result

Harley 883 Sportster
You scored 5 moxie, 4 zeal, and -3 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.

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!

You scored -3 moxie, 3 zeal, and -6 pomp!
You have the traits of a sensible and effective rider, with an utter lack of concern for image, so you should feel comfortable riding a sensible, effective, and hideous bike like the VStrom.
You are the rider most likely to Rhino-Coat your bike for the sake of practicality.
Ok so my beloved CB500 is now for sale and I'm in the market for a VStrom.
As if!
True about image, I don't give a sh1t how I look or what others think of me.

Other than the change in score the recommendation is the same.

I reckon it is fairly accurate though I see my answer is very similar to others. However when shopping for my last bike, the 883 custom was on my shortlist, only put off by price.
