Buy for quality or buy for brand?

[lihp]

Very often, people often try to justify buying branded products such as akrapovic etc, buy saying they're special, different, or maybe that they're better made than their competition.

However, it seems good that Tyga actually supply products unbranded so that customers don't have to be advertising for them.

It's strange though, that a person would purchase a product solely to show off a brand, and not based on it's quality, and be totally focussed on being able to show off what brand of exhaust you have.

Noticed this on a Tyga importer's facebook page.

Wonder if the finished bike will be awash with Autism Awareness and Gillette stickers in line with Sharon's other interests

I prefer subtle over in your face branding. From 6 feet away my bike looks standard, it is only until you're close do the modifications become apparent.

And quality every time, I have been ripped off too many times by so called brands that were just churning out cheap shyte.

Maybe if the plaque was there, the extra weight would alter the geometry of the bike taking weight off the arms and reducing stress on the back muscles.....

Thus negating the need for risers.

Hi

To me in a way a heavily promoted brand puts me off things. The quality needs to be there, or the price low enough to justify the lower quality.

All the best

Tyga only offer high quality products, like my mates NC30 with a Tyga kit on it, one side panel is different to the other side

For me it depends what the logo looks like I took the Spark stickers off my exhausts because they were big massive chrome ones and looks better without.
