Traits: Progressive, independent, generous, thinker, insightful
The Aquarius rider is a thinker. They are progressive, value knowledge, and appreciate innovation. They could be no more fitting motorcycle for this Zodiac sign than the all-electric Lightning LS 218, or the Harley-Davidson Project LiveWire (coming soon). Capable of game-changing performance achieved with the use of the latest in electric and battery technology, the LS 218 is a potential glimpse into the future of motorcycling. It’s a truly impressive machine that is pushing the boundaries of what we think is possible and is a shoo-in for Aquarius’s motorcycle of choice.
Traits: Artistic, empathetic, intuitive, emotional, imaginative
A motorcycle almost doesn’t feel like it truly belongs to you until it’s been modified and customized in some way. For the Pisces rider, a motorcycle is more than just transportation. The Zodiac marks them as artistic and endowed with gifted imaginations, so a motorcycle becomes an extension of who they are, particularly when they being to tinker and customize. As such, their motorcycle sign is a custom café racer: a style of motorcycle perfectly suited to creative expression.
Traits: Courageous, confident, passionate, aggressive, intensely active
In Greek mythology, Ares was the God of War. Under the Zodiac, the Aries sign symbolizes traits that aren’t far off from a warring god. There could be no more fitting weapon for the Aries rider than the aggressive, uncompromising, and intensely desirable Ducati 1299 Superleggera. For them, riding taps into vibrant energy that can’t be found in everyday life, and this most exclusive of Ducatis amplifies that energy to the maximum. Both the street and the racetrack become battlefields where the Aries rider can exercise their passion and competitive spirit.
Traits: Reliable, patient, secure, stubborn, practical
Honda is the gold standard for reliability and practicality with both their cars and motorcycles. Fitting then, that the Taurus rider would most likely sit astride the company’s flagship bike, the Goldwing. A big, comfortable touring bike that basically created that market niche, the Goldwing isn’t flashy or fast, it simply goes about its business of being the best. It features a robust suite of electronics and rider aids and has chewed up countless miles since it was introduced in the seventies. How’s that for reliability?
Traits: Gentle, affectionate, indecisive, curious, duality
Your humble author is a Gemini and I happen to own a Monster 796, so I can attest to the accuracy of this choice. The Gemini rider delights in the feeling of exploration and the wild, open freedom that motorcycling provides. Riding becomes a way to connect with new areas of internal life, as well as new physical realities. The Monster is a harmonious blend of sport and comfort and affords a rider the chance to sample a wide range of experiences. It is raucous yet refined; savage yet seductive. Its dualistic nature fits perfectly with a Gemini’s personality. Trust me.
Traits: Tenacious, loyal, moody, manipulative, guided by emotion
I can’t think of a more appropriate machine to exemplify the qualities of the Cancer Zodiac rider than the mad, mad machines from Confederate Motors. A purer expression of emotion and power would be hard to find, particularly with their newest creation, the FA-13. Every inch of the bike is wild and expressive and angry and seems hewn from passionate emotion itself. It’s the ideal companion for the Cancer rider looking to turn fuel into the fire.
Traits: Creative, passionate, stubborn, natural-born leader, dominant
Leo, the lion. The king of the jungle and a dominant force in life. Could there be any more perfect machine for the Leo rider than the Harley-Davidson Road Glide, itself the king of the road? The Road Glide is a commanding presence on the street. And, the storied H-D marquee is, and has been for years, the most dominant predator in the motorcycle marketplace. Yes, a matte black Road Glide, draped in chrome with a set of loud pipes fits the Leo rider rather nicely.
Traits: Practical, detail-oriented, hardworking, methodical, overcautious
How fitting that the Zodiac sign that favors details, practicality, and a meticulous nature ends up with a BMW as their motorcycle sign. Germans are anything if not wildly attentive to correctness and detail. The G 650 GS features a single-cylinder engine (what longevity!), gets 74 MPG (what efficiency!), and gets along on a variety of terrain (what engineering!) The Virgo rider and this baby GS get along like stopwatches and German train schedules.
Traits: Cooperative, harmony, truth, beauty, symmetry
Plato once said, “The contemplation of beauty causes the soul to grow wings.” For the Libra, truth, and beauty are at the core of their being and there are few machines that can embody such lofty qualities like the Aprilia Tuono RF does. There is an incredible depth of engineering and passion knit into the Tuono’s DNA, and the performance that coalesces from those two elements is honest and true (and insane.) It’s a beautiful machine to behold and a perfect machine for the Libra rider.
Traits: Resourceful, brave, assertive, leader, driven
The Scorpio rider is a leader. In a group ride, they’re the ones that have planned the route, organized all the details, and are leading the pack when the day arrives. Their motorcycle of choice? A Yamaha YZF-R1. The R1 is a supremely competent, savagely quick superbike that requires a depth of skill and confidence to master. Riders following the Scorpio (i.e. – everyone), would be awash in the R1’s glorious flat-plane crank exhaust note, and get to admire the Scorpio’s full set of Dianese leathers and AGV helmet. Only the best will do.
Traits: Optimism, humor, freedom, energy, love to wander
It’s fascinating how inanimate machines can take on human qualities. Case in point, the KTM 390 Duke. Unlike its serious, foul-tempered big brother the 1290 Super Duke R, the 390 is a playful, almost happy machine that fits the personality of the Sagittarius rider to a ‘t’. It’s easy to ride, willing to hoon, and a perfect runabout bike that easily does city riding, as well as longer jaunts for new discoveries.
Traits: Responsible, traditional, self-control, grounded, family
First of all, there’s no shame in a Vespa. Can you think of a more responsible way to experience the joys of two wheels and wind in your hair? The Capricorn rider is a traditionalist and takes responsibility for their decisions. The diminutive Vespa might be overshadowed in nearly every area by the other motorcycles on this list, but positively nothing beats it on tradition and self-control. Really, how much trouble could you actually get into with it? For the Capricorn rider, this is all the bike they’ll ever need, thank you very much.
