#1, I've always liked bikes, but I don't know shit about em compared to my knowledge of cars. I've always appreciated classic/looking bikes, and I've always been interested in sportbikes/crotchrockets.
I am a staunch Ducati fan, and my current favorite bike by them is the Diavel (AMG Edition); I've always liked Triumphs as well, and the 675 Daytona and Speed Triple ring to mind as favorites.
I've got a few friends with CBR1100s and Yamaha YZF R1s and R6s as well.
I mean, I like bikes, but I'm scared to post/get into discussions because my knowledge of them is pretty poor. I'm what you'd call a "casual enthusiast" if you will.

#3, For me, I can't look at a bike and tell you what it is. I like to examine each bike and pore over the details, much the way I do with cars I'm curious about. One thing I like about vintage bikes is a the apparent simplicity about them. It's just so cool seeing all the mechanicals exposed, and poking around and examining the gauges, looking at the engines and exhausts and taking in all the details.

#4, Same here. I don't know a hell of a lot about motorcycles, but I do have an appreciation for machines in general, so my appreciation for motorcycles, trains, aircraft, firearms, clocks, etc. is just an extension of that.
I may take up riding them eventually.

#7, nice :)
The Triumph sportbikes have always been cool to me. That one is no exception.

On a sidenote, I got up close and personal with a Ducati Diavel AMG tonight. Sweet jesus. :O

#9, Generally cruisers. For a first bike (IF I were to decide to start riding) I sort of favor the Yamaha V-Star 250. Right price, right look, and that little V-twin sounds great with an aftermarket exhaust.
Having said that, my Han Mu Do instructor is majorly into motorcycles, and is currently selling a black 2008 Suzuki Boulevard S40 that's caught my eye. No idea what he wants for it, though. That Shadow you linked to also looks nice, but I wouldn't want to start with an 1100 cc bike.

#11, To be honest, I think that's what many people think... however, a bike is quite an investment, and, yes, there is a learning curve, but it's not too difficult to overcome.
I got a 900, because I hadn't ridden in over a decade, and wanted to be careful... after just a few months, I realized I desperately need something with more power, as my bike can *barely* do highway speeds if there's a headwind. (Admittedly, the touring windshield acting like a sail doesn't help matters)
I kinda wish I had gone for a larger displacement Vulcan, or even a Honda 1300-1800... the price difference wouldn't have been that large.
[edit] Didn't realize until I Wiki'd it... the S40? That used to be called the Savage... 650cc single thumper... those things are garbage. My mechanic has a few customers with Savages, and he's had to pretty much do an engine rebuild on every single one.
