Comments on: Advertising the New Vmax http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2006/03/30/advertising-the-new-vmax/ Motorcycle News for Positive People Sun, 12 Feb 2012 00:51:53 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: SportyGuy http://thekneeslider.com/archives/2006/03/30/advertising-the-new-vmax/#comment-7250 SportyGuy Sat, 08 Apr 2006 01:33:58 +0000 http://thekneeslider.com/?p=941#comment-7250 I was thinking Clint Eastwood in the ad with a new "line" that states pure straight line power in the "quarter" that is unbeatable. When you think about it though the power/speed that pounds all other purely production bikes (short range/Quarter mile) will be advertisment enough...word gets out quick. I am not a seasoned racer (a bit slow off the line) and have raced a VERY seasoned racer on a GX 1100 (stripped down, even no lights and lighter than stock alloy rims) and he beats me but just barely. I think a guy who can get my stock 2001 Vmax off the line would take him half the time. So if the power/speed is there, not maybe there, THERE, to stomp the sportbikes again...check books opened!!

It's dorky. This bike will sell itself without that kind of advertsiing money....I can't be the only one that would think that advertising would detract. I never understood the “streetfighter” name.

I was still riding 125s when that movie was out. that may have been cool when the old vmax was in town but you'll have to do better now..." the engine fires and just before riding away rossi looks down and says "I knew I had a bigger gun than you." fade to black. or he could do the speech, and as he raises the gun to fire he gets mowed down in a blast of noise and blur of motion. once the cameraman recovers, we see rossi astride a v-max. he looks down at jackson, says “wow.
