Title: Motorcycle branding slogans
Post by: sdcr on December 28, 2021, 11:59:59 AM
Although they aren’t usually found in mainstream media, motorcycle manufacturers used “ branding “ slogans over time, especially in print.
Here are two that come to mind:

“You meet the nicest people on a Honda”

“ If you can afford any motorcycle, you can afford a Vincent” ( circa 1950)

Remember any others?

I think both of these were very effective use of marketing.

Anyone remember,
 “Nothing handles like a Triumph. Nothing”

"Put something exciting between your legs"   Yamaha

"Suzuki...built to take on the Country."  That was their slogan back in the two-stroke triple days.

"Performance - Style - Sophistication"  Ducati in the waning days of Cagiva ownership.

Pruchasers received a medallion from command center after the sale, I guess to promote the slogan

Suzuki took some cues from the Norton folks back in the 60's and 70's

Slightly off topic.   But I always thought Bell had a fantastic ad slogan for their motorcycle helmets.

LONGLEGGED AND EASY TO LIVE WITH
The first part (along with the picture) got me sucked in
The second part probably why I still ride it after nearly 44 years

Actually bought a Le Mans but this was best ad  (v50 one comes close second)

I remember the ads well, it wasn't the slogan "Long legged and easy to live with" that got me into Moto Guzzis.........

I remember a story of guy hunting down one of those models from a few years ago, and it wasn't an encounter he had hoped for due to age.

That was very clever. Who knew that “ rideability” has so many meanings...
