David Beckham's Busa - WTF?

zephyrgirl · Spanner Monkey Joined: 21 Jun 2004 Karma :

I see that David Beckham's bought himself a new £100 000 custom Hayabusa according to MCN.
It looks a really trick bike, but what the hell is Beckham doing with it?
Can he ride a motorbike? Apparently Real Madrid have banned him from riding it, but can he ride? Does he have a licence?

It was built by custom bike builders 4th Dimension and has an amazing paint scheme which changes colour in the light.

It is a beautiful piece of workmanship, but David Beckham for God's sake! Evil or Very Mad

It's not fair, in fact it may even put me off Busa's....

Suppose a bike that can corner would be too complex for him Mr. Green

I remember seeing Les Ferdinand on the telly with his Duke, back when he was a decent player and he was allowed to ride...

Him and Beckham not in the same league though!

I imagine he just said to his butler: Very Happy

"edwards, go and buy me the fastest roadbike ever, here is a £100,000 note"

"certainly sir, its called the 'Hayabusa' "

"excellent, now go and put it in the garage and sell the story to the press like a good boy"

"certainly sir, are you not going to ride it ?"

"absolutely not edwards, i will just use it as a target for my excellent free kicking skills."

I can imagine it!

Unfortunately, the bike in question was used in the new Pepsi ad with Beyonce and J Lo. The Number plate on it is DB 23 and is said to be worth £30 000 alone!

I bet he had a good deal on it after filming the ad.

Why is it that pop stars, footie players and other rich celebs get all the flippin' freebies and discounts when they can afford to pay full price for the stuff?

(I know it's 'cos the brands get the free publicity, and I'd personally be willing to endorse Rolex, Gucci, and ride about on a new bike of my choosing in order for them to shift a few units.)

Ok, so image not of Beckham's 'busa but him having one is to do with Pepsi sponsorship (check riders helmets).

Don't know if this is relevant to Beckham, other than he turns up here

BTW the norwegian auto-translation about the Hayabusa is:
"Under recording became facts cast-off motorsykler at breed Suzuki Hayabusa. David Beckham liked motorsyklene saw be comfortable that Pepsis the teams getting layer a copy at him."

<edit>...Doh! Doh!
