SOHC/4 in Commercial
« on: November 01, 2005, 06:20:15 AM »
Has anyone else seen the Cingular commercial that features a very nice SOHC/4?  It's only shown for a moment...can anyone tell which model it is?

Yes I did. Its at the end for about two seconds or so. Medium blue color. Don't know if its a K1 or K2, but next time the ad comes on i'll be paying more attention.

Yeah I just saw that one last night.   The one were the girl and her boyfriend are getting on a 750 and her dads trying to climb on the back.  Very brief but I caught it.  Dont worry dad, shes in good hands and her boyfriend must be pretty cool if he rides an old honda.  Glad they finally stopped showing that one with the fat black kid in the shower singing "lets get physical" I'd hear that in another room and race to the clicker to turn that crap off.

Considering it was only on the screen for about half a second, probably the latter.

It may have been the kid's. Hired because he had the bike OR hired and happened to have the bike and the production co. paid him extra to use it. That's often the way with TV/Movies/Commercials. My 1972 Opel GT is in the parking lot of the hotel in "The Jerk" bent fender and all.

The 'HONDA' emblem on the tank looks white instead of black. Isn't that a K1? Or maybe the paint's come off like my K0.

Im pretty damn sure I saw a GB500 clubman in an axe commercial last night.  Starts with some jap kid hosing himself down with the concoction then hes getting off the bike at a bar with his female passenger stuck to his back.  Cafe racer at any rate. Cool.

You may be right B to the M  ;D,  but age is not always directly related to wisdom, character, and style.  Some people realize at an early age that you have 2 choices in life.  Be yourself, be an individual...be different, lead.   Or do what everyone else is doing, follow the blind.  Im one of those, but yeah most young kids pretty much suck at being truely cool  :D.  Especially the local UofI wankers.  I guess some of the girls are alright though  ;).

I think its a k1, If you look at the tail light that was only used on k0-k1.
Its not a k0 if they are the orginal side covers.

Probably they just choose an old bike to avoid people recognizing a modern bike. Spanish Audi TV ads only show Audi cars, and when they want to compare with the rest -in general- they use american cars mostly because the average watcher can't recognize them so they don't interpret like "Audi is better than Renault" but "Audi is better than the rest".

I saw it last year and mentioned in my Angels 750 comic book. It's either a CB750K5 or CB750K6 judging by the turn signals with a repainted gas tank to look like earlier model or a European Planet Blue K2 tank.
