Bike Adverts

[Ghost_rider]

Alright all. Just something i have been wondering. How come there are no bike adverts on the television?

suzuki used to (maybe still do) advertise on eurosport when the moto gp was on

Do you really think bikes need much in the way of advertisement? Most bikers are passionate enough that they appreciate what bikes there are and what they want next, even before they get there.

Another point is that bike brands last for donkey's years. Gixxer, GPZ, CBR, CB, CG, etc? Those ones have been around for ages. They know we don't want an entirely new product because we're bored of the old one, we just want even better versions of their previous ones.

Yeah suzuki used to have adverts during the motogp.


I guess because its just not suitable way to advertise bikes... You would be paying to advertise to 95% non-bikers. Waste of money.

Cost of one bike TV advert could pay for 20 full page magazine adverts in bike magazines...

Carnells used to run ads round my area a few years back but other than that I havent seen any unless on the net.

Honda also run adverts on Eurosport aswell as Suzuki, whose new slogan is "Own The RaceTrack"

I've seen the odd Yamaha advert on eurosport too, so they do advertise when and where they are going to get most value for money.

I can't see why IBM feel the need to advertise like they do either. Every time I see the adverts I think 'geeks'.

[Craggles]

I find the IBM adverts amusing....

Companys won't spend thousands on advertising things to the minority (especially when they know what they want). Bikes are not something you buy because you 'saw one on the telly'.

[meyrick]

Also, Honda do TV ad's for nothing in particular. Like, hi, we're Honda...just so you know It's all about selling an image to a target audience.

I laugh out loud at the IBM ad's and my dad stares at me in amazement, but then I am a geek

What really are the point of the IBM adverts? I know they make our tills in work but yeah, don't really know who they are.
