Personally I think that's a really good advert.

Do they use too many big words for you?

**Bonez** · 27th December 2010, 19:26

If it gets folks to buy them and put my bikes out in the market place bring it on I say.

Just for you D will say yea thats it.No matter what your personal opinion or as in your case the opinion your paid to have is (cheap shot) theres no escaping the fact that both here and the states people buy these things with image in mind.On one hand they take the piss outta people spending money on bullshit but then offer there motorcycles as a better option,one thats been around since Adam.

Yeah man, I'm sticking with my pedicures...who needs a motorbike anyway??

**Big Dave** · 27th December 2010, 19:52

You know it's cheap shot city!
Still don't see anything wrong with it and happily recommend several of those vehicles.

**popelli** · 27th December 2010, 19:54

good advert

but it wouldn't convince me to buy one as their product development stopped back in 1984

"people buy these things with image in mind"

You don't think that's true of Yamaha or Honda or Ducati?

Without an image to aspire to there is no earthly reason for a GSXR or FZR or whatever the latest R is that's doing the rounds. There is no useful reason for these items so a desire has to be created to want them anyway.

Anyone who denies that part of the reason they bought their bike (other than strict <400c commuter perhaps) was because of the way it made them feel is lying.

So Harley says that their bike will make you feel good? So does everyone else

Whats the problem?
