This online quiz is getting a lot of banter on the ST-Owners listserve I read, with apparent bragging rights to those who conform with the quiz designer's idea of a Duc rider:

Me, it picked a BMW R1200GS, which would be about eighth or ninth on my list of "want" bikes (behind the F800GS, actually), but still ...
It said I should get a 600cc Sportbike. Then it went on and on about me being a squid [laugh]
Said I should get an FJR1300, which I have considered.
I got an R-1... Which I have considered...
Ducati 996
i scored 7 moxie, 13 zeal, and 9 pomp!
:-\
996. ;D
I think this was posted on the DML a LONG time ago. I scored an FJR then. :-\
fjr
... a Ducati 996 [thumbsup] [moto]. I'll take that....currently ride an S4RS. [popcorn]

Thought it seemed familiar enough that I did a bunch of searches to make sure it wasn't here already. For me, it must have been the
minus 1 score for pomp that steered me away from bikes that really should be washed regularly. Though I'm guilty as charged on that one...
R1 - not even remotely on my list.
It picked the 996 for me, not bad!

same bike for me
It said I should get an 883 Harley Sportster even after I answered that I hate Harely's! What a load!
Yeah, I gotta Sportster too. I like Harley's but I'm still kinda embarrassed I got it.
R1.
[puke]
Ducati Monster! It also said I want a Harley (which I do NOT) but the Monster or SV are the right bike for me.. Thanks, that was cool.
R1 for me. Interesting as I am considering a GSXR 750. 7 moxie, 10 zeal, 2 pomp.
it just told me boobies.

Also R1. 11 moxie, 7 zeal, 1 pomp Apparently I'm not pomp enough to own a duc. :-\
Quote from: Statler on October 17, 2008, 04:37:58 PM

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [clap] [clap]
Aprilia RSV Mille. Not bad. I scored 7 moxie, 1 zeal, and 8 pomp! "The Mille's power scares the crap out of you at times, and you mostly bought it because you wanted something more unusual than a Ducati." Interesting, but I'll stick with my M696, thank you.
I got a Monster.. strange :o
Gave me the 883 Sporster too...even though I checked "hate Harleys".
I don't really hate them but that was the closest choice.
I actually rode my Brother's 883 Sportster and liked it a lot!
But, I want the acceleration and handling of the Ducks more than anything the Sporster has to offer.
Duc 996.
I got all excited when the second page popped up and it showed an old BMW airhead.
;D [clap] Great fun! 10 moxie, 15 zeal, 6 pomp. Puts me on a 996, sex on wheels. I can live with that. [moto]
I got a 996, fitting ;D
ST4s which is actually on the list for what's next
I got the 996 as well, not going to complain.....
R1... but since it wasn't a Duc, I would've wanted the R6
"Because you are a bit image-conscious and have a touch of ego, your bike is a Ducati....." [evil]
Ducati ST4s
5 moxie, 10 zeal, and 8 pomp
996 ;)
Your result for The Motorcycle Personality Test ...
Ducati Monster
You scored 5 moxie, 3 zeal, and 7 pomp!
BOOYAH!!!
[roll]
I scored an R-1
still wouldnt trade either Duc for one
ST4S [thumbsup]
I should have a FJR.... [puke]
My ST4 is close enough and a couple hundred pounds lighter. [thumbsup]
Evidently I live for the perfect road, and plan vacations around riding. I need a bike that can handle my addiction to the twisties as well as comfortably carry two on a weekend trip through the mountains. I scored an FJR.
FJR... I can deal w/sport touring... ;D

Sport touring......in Hawaii....... [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]
I'm starting to see equal groupings of 996, R1, FJR and 883. I'd like to see what the median of the entire DMF would end up being.
I'm an FJR as well. Please don't tell my Duc!
That was pretty freakin' cool.
Here are my results:
Ducati ST4s
You scored 4 moxie, 10 zeal, and 10 pomp!
You love riding, simply for the sake of riding. On the way to work, you sometimes find yourself taking the long way. The 50-miles-of-back-roads long way. Your mastery came about as a side effect from your love of the sport, although to be honest, you originally got into it because you thought a motorcycle would make you look cool.
You need a bike that can handle your addiction to the twisties as well as reasonably carry two on a weekend trip through the mountains. Because you are a bit image-conscious and have a touch of ego, your bike is a Ducati. A practical Ducati, but a Ducati nonetheless.
Compared to other takers
• 42/100 You scored 4 on moxie, higher than 42% of your peers.
• 82/100 You scored 10 on zeal, higher than 82% of your peers.
• 96/100 You scored 10 on pomp, higher than 96% of your peers.
So what exactly do these results mean?
As far as which bike I sould be riding they were close. At least it was a Ducati.
Ducati 996 with the HOT CHICK! Yeah baby! The Foggy is on EBay as we speak.
Wait, can't I get a 999 instead?
(just kidding about EBay)
"You exhibit an over exuberance 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. "
996... but I'd prefer the brunette in the photo. ;D

It said I should get a 600cc Sportbike. Then it went on and on about me being a squid [laugh]
Got the same result, funny considering i go ATGATT..........
ST4S, "You scored 5 moxie, 7 zeal, and 6 pomp!"
Eh, I don't really desire a touring bike, but I really like the idea behind the result. I guess a 998 with some easier clip-ons and a tail bag is a little too specific a result to ask for, but the ST4S is about as close as you're going to get!
It said I belong on a Desmosedici.
"Your attitude and ego are over the top, yet you actually have the skills to match."
2/3 rd true. I'll have to work on that skills part [cheeky]
You scored 10 moxie, 10 zeal, and 8 pomp!
Ducati 996

honda ct 110 [bacon]
Ducati Monster ;D
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. No, Said no to 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.
You scored 3 moxie, 3 zeal, and 6 pomp!
It appears that to score a Monster, you have to want to look good, but not ride much.
I scored an R1: 7 moxie, 14 zeal, and 3 pomp. Not on my list anywhere. I'd love a track-bike, but I wouldn't start with an R1.
883 Harley Sporster [puke]
It assumes Ducati owners are snobby and pretentious. How wrong!!! Change the criteria to match reality, and we'd all come out on Ducatis!!
Ducati 996 "You scored 7 moxie, 6 zeal, and 10 pomp". don't tell my wife but I'll buy two 996's now if they throw in the brunette [evil] Oh well back to looking for a deal on a black 999....
Anybody get hooked up with a Vespa? Would anyone admit it?
HAHAHA
If the 996 is 'Sex on wheels', would the Vespa be 'Celibacy on wheels'?
does anyone else think 2k miles per year is shockingly low? I put that on in a couple months, and I don't even ride everyday or anything.
ST4s for me!! :-)

I thought the same thing. 2000 miles? WTH?
I guess when all you do is ride it down to the gas station and pose on it, you don't rack up that many miles.

Everything is correct apart from the mate black :D

Or maybe you have a lot of responsibilities in your life and don't get to run off and play whenver you would like...
It picked a YZF R1 for me. I guess it didn't take my age into account. My back could never deal with the YZ
Quote from: mac900 on October 17, 2008, 04:35:20 PM
R1 for me. Interesting as I am considering a GSXR 750. 7 moxie, 10 zeal, 2 pomp.
NO!! Get one of the 916's that are for sale down here! ;)

77 RD400
86 GSXR 750

ST4s...but I had an S4Rs and will be getting a 696. Interesting...
996 for me!!! :-*
9 on moxie
7 on zeal
6 on pomp
Apparenly I leave bystanders vaguely aroused! [evil] ;D
good times!
[beer]
[moto]
It said I need a yamaha fjr1300 (I don't even know what that is.) It also said I had lots of moxie and zeal, but was lacking in pomp.
got a sportster 883 >:( in all honesty would of preferred a vespa or possibly a segway) [laugh]

Made my girlfriend take the test. She really isn't interested in having her own bike - she'd rather ride 2 up on a cruiser.
The test told her she should get a Monster... [thumbsup]
FJR1300 lol
I don't even like street riding much let alone sport touring so whatever
[bang] freaking Harley!
good thing the test redeemed itself by putting the Monster as an alternative for me.
It actually gave me a Monster, but said that I secretly wanted a Harley and but didn't want to admit it. The test said that I would consider a SV 650, but not enjoy it because it is common.
Yamaha FJR1300 (never even heard of it.....)
I guess thats kind of like my bike.....a tricked out 900 monster with a custom flame paint job on the tank/cowls.
Not. [roll]
I never realized I was as boring as this test says I am. :P
I scored a
negative 1 for moxie :o , only a 1 for zeal and a 5 for pomp.
...and it wants me to buy an 883 Sportster! [puke] Not gonna happen!
Oh well. After I read right to the bottom it gave me the Monster or an SV650 as alternatives. The bike I own and a bike I considered. [moto]
QuoteWhile 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.

THAT should be the target for the ST i think the Multistrada missed the mark on touring.

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.)
I feel a episode of squidly comin' on..... ;)

MONSTER: 2 MOXIE 5 ZEAL AND 6 POMP:
Does that make me a jerk? :o
Two years ago when I took this my result was a Yamaha FJR1300.
When I took the test just now it placed me as a Ducati ST4s.
I guess I'm learning how to fit in :o [laugh]
Monster....Hells Yeah!
2 Moxie
2 Zeal
9 Pomp
7 Moxie
13 Zeal
2 Pomp
R1? Well, it is only a test. And somewhat subjective.
Results:
Ducati Monster
You scored 1 moxie, 4 zeal, and 7 pomp!
looks like i did well when i chose my 695. i don't have to sell my bike to get this one because its already in the garage!
I also got an R1. 7 moxie, 15 zeal, -2 pomp.
Well, that was the first bike I rode (on the back).
R1, with a comment that it was a close decision between it and the GSXR-1000... Neither have I considered purchasing.
JM
Ducati 996. I suppose I could make room in the alley for that.... ;D
Said I had a small penis...get a 600cc Jap sportbike. Does a M900 count? [laugh]
Results:
Ducati 996. (Which is pretty cool because I ride an S4Rs.)
10 on Moxie; 10 on Zeal; 10 on Pomp.
I got a Ducati 996... [moto]
I scored a 9 for moxie, another 9 for zeal, and 11 for pomp. I do like my bling [thumbsup]
st4 it sez, like the one in my garage [bacon]
53/100 You scored 5 on moxie, higher than 53% of your peers. 20/100 You scored 1 on zeal, higher than 20% of your peers. 60/100 You scored 4 on pomp, higher than 60% of your peers.
Harley 883 Sportster
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.)
There is a mention of a monster [thumbsup]
I don't see myself on a hd
I scored an R1. No thanks. >:(
Not in my list of top 100 bikes I'd like to own.
I scored: 5 moxie, 13 zeal, and 9 pomp
Ducati ST4s was the recommended bike for me. I can live with that. [thumbsup] ;D
Yamaha FJR1300, (not on my list)
Not a bad bike but I could do without the Semi-auto gearbox
They gave me a yellow 996. [thumbsup]
LA
Just took the test, I was hoping to get any bike but a Ducati as I'm looking at moving to a BMW or HD. I'm looking for any excuse to do so. But to my surprise the result was that I should ride a Ducati Monster flat black, the result is bang on except that I ride a 2008 S4RS Tricolore. Every time I think I should move away from Ducati, something or someone pull me back in, tomorrow I have a test ride on a 2008 GS 1200, up to a few minutes ago I thought I was going through with the trade. One more sleepless night going over the pros and cons of owning a fast Ducati. [bang]
i scored 11 moxie, 5 zeal, and 10 pomp!

That's alright. It said I should ride a 600cc Japanese bike. That I'm a squid and I ride in sandles, ball cap, and T-shirt blowing half way up my back. That I'm going to wad my bike, and riding is only temporary for me.
Not me at all.
I hit a bullseye with the Monster. 13 pomp was the only memorable score...
Yamaha YZF R1
You scored 6 moxie, 9 zeal, and 5 pomp!

I got the Ducati Monster. 3 moxie, 1 zeal, 7 Romp.
It got my personality right.
