I hope this hasn't already been posted, but this advertisement has been showing on New Zealand TV recently.

A bit of exposure for the brand.

Oh great...not only do we have legends about guzzis being a tractor, but now..."hey, that's that bike in the WOMENS SHAVING COMMERCIAL....!"

It has.  I've just merged it into the previous threadfest.

I remember when the first Quotas came to the US in the `90s MG had a woman standing next to 1 in an ad here.  Is that why they didn't sell well here?  :undecided:

When I bought my 750 Breva years ago I  couldn't care less women rode them too.  :azn:

Last I saw Ed Milich's wife rides a LM I.  Does that mean you're a wuss if you ride 1?

 The girl with the dragon tattoo didn't care about whether or not her motorcycle was a girlie bike.
 And you don't want to piss her off.

Here is the real question , is the 675 MV Agusta in either of its iterations a chick bike ? :evil:

 Dusty

Might be a good bike for chicks, but not a chick bike. There is a difference. If it had small horsepower than it would be a chick bike like the V7.

So???

Apparently the original V7 Sport was much loved by pretty girls as well.

Personally I think that is a good thing!



My buddy was trying to get a clear shot of the back end (of the bike) but these ladies kept blocking his view, so he claims.

What's with the smart looking girl on the left?  She seems bored.   Not the way to win my affection (not that anyone cares).

Since when is a CB350 a girl's bike?

Back to the V7, I love mine. My wife... she loves hers. My buddy loves his 883 Superlow. What makes a woman's bike a "woman's bike" is ownership.
Old enough to say I've done it, young enough to do it again.

She's trying to focus her eyes.  That's why she needs glasses.  :wink:

Mistral pipes and retune the ECU.  Not a girl's bike. :thumb:
