Super Bikes on SPEED

[Codger]

Did anyone else see this last night?

Just the reputation you want spread about sport bikes.

I saw a little bit of it i didn't really like it. The show overall was just lame IMO. Don't know how anyone else likes it. Not really the type of show i was expecting i guess.

yeah could've done without all the street stunting and the beer drinking, but I did like that SV that guy was building

Didn't see, something tells me I'm glad.

They were talking about an FZ1 when they were showing the blue SV1000. f%$king morons.

The FZ1 board had a decent thread on it with a bunch of responses (pretty much all along the same lines)

A good one:

SPEED translates the exciting world of high performance motorcycles to television on "Super Bikes!", a thirty-minute television series dedicated to the high revving, tire shredding, wheel standing world of sport bikes, the most exhilarating machines on the planet.

Each episode of "Super Bikes!" is produced to mirror the edgy, fast paced lifestyle of today's young motorcycle enthusiasts. POV cameras and the hottest music combined with an insider's perspective will make "Super Bikes!" a "must see" for today's young adult male biker. "Super Bikes!" delivers the kick that today's motorcycle industry and consumer will embrace.

Host Rossi Morreale and special field correspondent and world famous stunt rider Jason Britton take viewers inside the extreme lifestyles of all the personalities featured in each episode of "Super Bikes!". They go on location at sport bike hot spots, events, tracks, back roads, urban streets, anywhere in the world young riders congregate to share their passion for speed on two wheels.

Viewers will meet the street racers, stunt riders and weekend warriors who live the sport bike lifestyle.

Yep - they suck... but they're marketing to a specific segment of riders, and that will be all they care about. If they get one feedback message like:

DUDES YOU ROCK!!!! THANKS FOR SHOWING HOW DA BOYS WID DA SKILLZ RULEZ DA STREETS!

They'll consider the show an unprecenented success and will sell more advertising.

Lets all celebrate this awesome show by giving each other high fives while riding sweet wheelies naked











- and insurance rates go up yet again ...

Best thing to do is NOT watch it.  It'll die quickly with no viewership. 

I did see it.  "My ZX stuntbike is locked up in Cali, so I've rented this CBR600 to scoot around town on" on his back wheel.  Turd.  I turned it off immediately.
