The one that hit the car is a Honda (Slow it down - read HONDA on the tank).
At end, tail plastics are wrong for  GS500. Probably the same yellow Honda from the beginning.

Bad eyes.  :nono:
Uh, look at the still frames. Never seen a GS500 have HONDA on the tank.
The tail plastics and end of the tail are not GS500.

LOL.

Good eyes people. I tried pausing it a few times on Youtube to try and see but never could get it to pause at the right spot. Didn't spend much time trying either. It does look a lot like a GS, though!

I can't view the video at work.  Why is the driver of the car have white squares under his knees? Is it staged?

It is a promo for bike safety. So yes - it is all staged.

GS in this video?

The same question was asked in here about 7-8 years ago when this ad first appeared on UK TV. After some discussion it was decided that the bike in question was actually a CB500E..........and nothing looks to have changed in the interim  :D

Incidently the more observent Brits in here will notice that the car is not displaying a valid tax disc.......naughty naughty  :D
