This Yamaha RD350 advertisement is a picture of historical perfection. Hilarious, effective, and many would say… rather accurate. 
“Don’t feel bad. You’re not the first 750 rider to get blown off by a Yamaha 350.”

Motorcycle sale ad of the YEAR. It’s only March and I think this really would be a hard one to beat. 

See the advert on TradeMe.co.nz, and read below for a little excerpt.

Hi. I’m Suzi. I’m a GN250. I’m the motorbike of your dreams.

The guy in the pictures with me is my owner. I taught him how to drive a motorbike. I took his fat ass everywhere. I carried him and his girlfriend to many awesome places. I even taught her to drive a bit too. Everyday when he needed me to go to work, to the supermarket, or to go and have brunch by the beach, I was there. EVERYDAY. Now, all of the sudden, he wants a car. Pft. Apparently I’m no good to carry a drum kit around. A ridiculous point, but I got the message. After a heated argument and a couple tears, I decided it was time to find a new fat ass to drive me. 

The new Capital One commercial features a motolady! If you’re wondering what strange looking and sounding motorcycle she’s riding- Brammo Empulse (electric, fairly silent motorcycle) with badly dubbed in engine sounds. Not sure what the point of that was…

I love how much Guzzi is getting into using ladies in advertising!

Another T-Mobile commercial using motorcycles and the stunning model Carly Foulkes called, “See It Again”. This time they compare the iPhone on the AT&T network to an older motorcycle just cruisin’ along… 

Side note, is it just me or are there way way more motorcycles appearing in mainstream television both in commercials and during regular programming?

BSA Rocket 3 advertising from the 70’s. It has “ray-gun silencers”… so cool.

Carly Foulkes, model and rider from the T-Mobile motolady commercial I posted yesterday, with her matching motorcycle and catsuit ensemble. I’m not that into pink, but I think she looks good. …Not so practical, though. Just lookit them shoes! (They look very similar to Icon Hella boots, hmmm….)

The Moto Guzzi V7 girl again. Man she goes well with that bike. Or should I say… that bike goes well with her.

Semi NSFW- this is a hilarious ad. My favorite part (above) a naked chick waves to an old guy and he is flabbergasted in more than one way. A female… on a bike… IN THE NUDE?! 
Priceless.
