Your choice of motorcycle tells the world who you are, even more than your choice of car. Most people see cars as necessities, but bikes? While you might ride your bike to work, the main reason you buy a bike is because something about it speaks to you. Be aware, though — that bike also speaks for you, here is our not-so-scientifically compiled list of What Your Motorcycle Says About You .
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Everything about you is extreme, and you’ll ride in any season. You also think that pretty much every other type of rider is a wuss — that is, if you bother to give a thought to other riders at all. You own at least five GoPros and an entire cabinet of mounting accessories.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You aren’t willing to let the cruelties of age or disability get between you and your ability to ride. It might not be the coolest bike on the block, but there’s something extremely admirable about your tenacity.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You just really like the idea of riding a two-wheeled spaceship around town, don’t you?
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You’re a big believer in tradition, as well as the freedom of the open road, American-style. You have no interest in getting a knee down; you just want to cruise in style and comfort from place to place. Sure, there are less expensive cruisers you could buy, but you’ll be a Harley owner till you die.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You have an entire roll of Oil-Dri pads in your garage. Maybe also a bunch of cardboard to keep your drips off the floor. All that being said, you still wouldn’t trade it for anything.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
One look at those headers it’s wearing; you’re hooked and you can’t stop staring.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You either have built, are building, or plan to build a cafe racer or street tracker. It’s practically required if you have a CB750.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You love racing, Honda’s place in that world, and the fact that once upon a time, Honda bikes weren’t cookie cutters.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You like speed in a straight line, but more than that, you like that unique Busa shape. You probably also find that the fairings on this bike call out for crazy custom paint like nothing else, and might have spent almost a semester of college tuition money on realizing your artistic vision.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You were paying attention when the ZX14R dethroned the Hayabusa as the fastest mass production bike available, and you aren’t completely smitten by the Busa’s shape.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You really like neon green.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You think the invention of the crossplane crankshaft is the most amazing invention in the history of ever. You might also be right (as long as that’s actually the version you bought… ).
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You’ve followed Erik Buell’s struggles through the years, and you wanted to support his career. You also love the idea of supporting an American sportbike.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You love Italian style and performance, but wanted something more exotic than a Duc. You’re also one of AF1 Racing’s best customers, because that’s pretty much the only way you’re going to get parts for your beloved Ape — well, that or eBay. You don’t care that Aprilia bikes generally have extremely low resale values, because you’d never sell yours in a million years. You’re also happy that you can score an amazing bike like a Tuono for not much more than the coins in your sofa.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You’re probably the biggest race fan you know, unless you live somewhere in Europe where large groups of people actually watch motorcycle racing in bars, er, pubs. You’re also probably a walking, talking chronicle of moto racing history and stats. If you ride this R1, for example, you probably know everything there is to know about Noriyuki “Nitro Nori” Haga, or else you wouldn’t be riding it.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You are completely insane in the best possible way.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Your license should have been suspended by now.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You regard the street as your racetrack. You might also go out of your way to purchase Repsol products to feed your Repsol-branded Fireblade.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You value a good all-round sportbike that isn’t too expensive or too exotic to thrash both at the track and on the street. If you let anyone on it in flip flops, you’re probably the mayor of Squidtown.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You do track days a lot, so you wanted a bike that you could flog around the track within an inch of its life and not cry about if you drop it. It’s also probably blue, because approximately 95% of them are. (LOL)
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You love retro styling but don’t want to deal with the reliability issues that go with period bikes. You also like fuel injection. If you bought one of these new, when they first came out, you paid a pretty reasonable price. If you’ve just bought one on the used market, you probably paid enough money to buy your own small island nation/tax shelter.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
Due to its extremely limited production numbers, you’ll only ever display this particular investment as part of your climate-controlled bike collection. It might possibly occupy a place of honor on display in your living room. Chances that it will ever see a track day are slim, because you’ll be too terrified to drop it, even if you’re an excellent and experienced rider.

no, it’s not because it’s “from the internet.” a couple of years ago I got clipped by a cager staring at his phone. I limped the bike to the dealer and got myself looked at (I was OK.) later that night I had a club meeting (unrelated to riding) and as I was walking in I passed a few young guys leaving, getting their gear on to ride away. I said to them (in a friendly manner) “Hey guys, be safe, I got hit today.” The first thing on their mind to ask me was what I was riding. I said “a Dyna,” they asked what that was. I said “It’s a Harley” and they looked at me like I took an enormous dump in my hand and was waving it in their faces demanding they sniff it.
If your main concern about other riders is what they’re riding, then you’re an asshole. Those 19-year-old cunts who sneered at me for riding a Harley even though I told them a cager nearly broke my left leg couldn’t give a shit.
the worst part of motorcycling is other riders. you’re not helping with this shit.

i dont give a flying fuck as too what others ride. (unless you are on a ebike..I cant stand that)
its a joke list and a joke by product coming STRAIGHT from the list. i have heard that story before. you run into assholes in every group. I’ve had harley guys ACTIVELY try and fuck with my bike. do you see me going on a triad against them? no.
relax and ride your own ride man. dont worry about what others think. we are going to end up dead anyways, be it a car or old age, doesnt matter

A local used car dealer had a Repsol replica out front for a couple of months. I spotted the new owner just the other day. He went all-in and bought a matching Repsol leather jacket.

#1 JimZ doesn’t joke about his Harley or riding. I tried and he’s not for it.
#2 it’s tirade. Not triad. Your spell like an engineer. Keep up the good work.
#3 where is mine on this list?

Probably a compulsive hoarder with delusions of grandeur, your shit doesn’t stink and you’re going to tell everyone about why your bike is the best even though half the parts on it are aftermarket or from other bikes. This jack of all trades biker is the kind of guy that puts on a lot of miles, and can probably scrape peg on bikes that have no business scraping peg. All of this on a bike that’s perfect for a beginner, or an experienced rider that’s too attached to move on to something better.
!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!
You obviously know what’s what with regards to motorcycles, and have probably been riding motorcycles as long as most people have been riding bicycles. Wheelies, curbs, pot holes, snow, ice and gravel are all no problem for you. Sure, you are slow in a straight line, but who cares when you can ride over cars as well as in between them?
