883 Sportster here too. Didn't they pay attention to the last question about are you hoping its NOT a Harley?

Go the FJR1300, it pretty well sums it, although I would have thought a B12 more suitable - maybe the FJR1300 when I'm 50.....

Moto Guzzi V11?

Dang, thats a pretty neat looking bike too...

gotta say, it got me right. gave me a bike i definately have been wanting for a long time (and probably would be riding if the 650 came out a year earlier when i was bike shopping), the suzuki v-strom. oh well... guess i'm predictable.

Sportster 883.

If I were to give you the list of new bike preferences, it would be second to last, right before the eliminator 125. Actually, all harleys would tie for second to last.

I have to admit, my answers to the majority of the questions weren't in the choices.

I got the YZF-R1, with the option of getting the Gixxer 1K.

I think I'd take the Gixxer, as the one time I got to ride it, it took me 3 hours to finally get the grin off my face.

Yup! Or my answer might be in between two of the survey's canned responses. For this reason, I took the survey twice. First time they told be 883 Sporty, second time R1/GSXR1K. So maybe a B12 is the compromise

What I thought was a bit odd - I was under the impression the survey was aimed more at potential riders, but several questions would be difficult to answer for the uninitiated.
Also the turning question was fubar... asking you if you're making a right turn do you put pressure on the left or right bar... yet they don't clarify pushing or pulling pressure, and that key bit of info is needed to give a correct answer!

I got the Ducati Monster. Interesting and I think it fits. Really close to the Bandit. I don't know how I came across as a snob but it said I was. thats why they probably picked something Italian instead of Japanese.

Another FJR1300 for me too.

Well that pretty much sums it up for me!

Yamaha FJR1300
You scored 2 moxie, 8 zeal, and 2 pomp!

Probably a typical Bandit rider's result. Practical, yet sporty. But I'm not ready for all that freaking hard luggage just yet.

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.

Well, hell yes, I'm planning on going to B.O.S.S. next year. Already told the family I'm going.
