The Worst VTR Ad of All Time?

Post by eatpasta »

I just ran across this today - I dont know if the ad could be worse?

[url=[img]https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4431/370 ... 07ba_b.jpg[/img]

Lets run it down;
- Reliable - ok yes
- Fuel Efficent - I gassed mine up yesterday with 50 miles on the tank as the gauge was showing one bar and it took TWO GALLONS... so no, not fuel efficent
- 'most original components' - this is never good
- engine and transmission 'reconstructed'!? Was this an archeological dig?!!
- Pretty sure a VTR1000 is not a Kawasaki
- Automatic transmission....?? :lol:
- Gas - at least he got the fuel correct


Emailing now as I want pics too

Ads like that make me think

"Yes Dear, i'll sell the bike this summer, here I'll sit down right now and write the ad while Im thinking about it"

"There, done, I'll post it and as soon as I get a decent offer its gone, like I promised"

Ha!

So true....he has actually already pulled his previous ad and replaced it with another - still not picutre.

I emailed him about try to get images but he hasnt hit me back yet. Probably a scam..... but if a scan why not something like a CBR....?
