Some of the best motorcycle “advertising” these days is found online where manufacturers post teaser videos and action footage. Moto Guzzi is out with an artistic new video of its 2011 V7 Racer. After watching it in action, I wanted one, but I do suffer from M.B.D. (multiple bike disorder). You may want one, too. What makes this video work is that is captures the history, the art and the romance of motorcycling and Moto Guzzi, while stirring up some rather primal urges to to shop.
Another new promotional video that will get the blood racing is for the 2011 Kawasaki Z750R, which is available in Europe. This one’s all action.
