Title: NGC - New Honda commercial
Post by: ohiorider on November 01, 2017, 06:23:58 PM: Does this commercial get it? I think in many ways, it does. Sort of a 21st century version of 'you meet the nicest people on a Honda.' Some of you here may remember this.

I get you wanting to be on a Guzzi. So do I. I posted only thinking that this ad approach might be the approach Guzzi might want to take in approaching the American market, vs so many of their Euro style ads. Sure, they appeal to Europeans, but the USA is a huge potential market for Guzzi, so why not advertise to us? Make us want to ride to places unknown on Guzzis.

Ahhh .... it's probably hopeless, but one can only hope.

Yeah, it would be great to see an MG in spot like that but I'm not holding my breath.

Post by: willard on November 03, 2017, 04:12:42 PM: That's an awesome ad.

I live that they threw in the old goldwing, too. Shows you they meant more than "look at all of our new bikes! buy one! buy one!"

I spent a grand total of 10 minutes on an early 1968 CB750 (in 1968.) At that time in my life, I guess I didn't think about bikes having a personality, ( though I certainly do, today.) It'd be interesting to hear from someone who spent a lot of saddle time on the old CBs to do a road test on the CB1100.

Post by: pikipiki on November 04, 2017, 02:32:42 PM: There have been some really good Honda ads, but I don't think this is that great. "Why did we spend a night in Reno?" Come on who should say that?
