I should think so too. Why you would want to associate with those Suzuki posers is beyond me. Death's too good for 'em...

Agreed. I like the ad. It certainly points out that fun and stress relief can easily be found on a ride with mates rather than all that rubbish people fall for.

Nice focus on the younger buyers market too. HD moving into younger markets. Good on them. They just need more "cool" looking bikes like the new V-Rod.

Harleys are gay, almost as gay as Honda riders.

I like the Harley add. What did it say buy a Harley and feel good. I don't see what the problem is. Oh did anybody else notice that none of the folk in the Suzuki advert were asian! They all looked like white middle class american office workers.

No beards and no skanks. How does that represent the current HD clientele ? Seems like the ad agency went a bit over the top. A rope swing ?

.Unbelievable.

I've seen some pretty corny HD ads but I don't reckon that is one of them.

This one, on the other hand...

shame they don't make a decent repro XLCR with an evo motor and brakes that work, it would get people back into the showroom and they wouldn't have to resort to lifestyle adverts
