I'm not apparently. I should have an FJR1300 ??

Saw this test on a forum for sportsbikes. A majority of the people there should be riding Sportsters according to this test :-D

OK so what should YOU be riding?

Bike test

Make that two FJR1300's. I wonder if there was a Triumph Bonneville on that list of possible bikes. I'm guessing the test broke us down into the three main categories... sportbikes (Ninjas?) ... cruisers (Sportsters) and tourers (FJR1300). I hope more members take this test, so we can see the other bikes on the list.

Good test for a snowy Sunday morning, thanks.

I wonder if they even have a Triumph for an option....anyways...the test said I was best suited for a Harley 883 Sportster Softail. I guess its close to what I own...05 Thruxton 900.
Interesting though...Thanks.

I thought they must be trying to sell them.
I'd rather have a Brough Superior SS100

40% Moxie
98% Zeal
58% Pomp

Says I should be riding a Jap sportbike....I don't think so!

It did tell me this.....

"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."

Interesting.....

You scored 3 moxie, 9 zeal, and -5 pomp!
You've ridden 'em all. You love riding, and you're at the peak of your game. You develop irrational love for unusual motorcycles, and the latest acquisition is a sweet Moto Guzzi.

You are the most likely among the personality types to own a garage full of esoteric old bikes awaiting restoration.

You scored higher than 57% on moxie
You scored higher than 84% on zeal
You scored higher than 0% on pomp

Fairly accurate, for me at least. I'll bet Triumph is not in their database.

King, I also wondered if they even heard of Triumph!

I scored a Sporty 883, but that's OK. I almost bought one.



Until I met my 2005 Speedmaster of course...

Silverado,
Indeed! There still is a sweet looking sporty up here at Seacoast HD, NH, that still catches my eye. I just can't justify spending the $$ on stripped bike..especially with no factory tach.

Ride on.
