They are on British Eurosport. Sky, I know, but still UK telly.

It's something to do with bikers being a very small target market and TV being ridiculously expensive. Also, that market is quite pro-active in that we seek out information on new products in specialised press rather than wait to be spoon-fed, so mass advertising on mainstream TV would be seen as a waste of effort.

adverts cost money to make and then air, especially in prime time. There is a small target audience to aim for.

Considering cost and target audience. why did Suzuki keep advertising the Bergman during breaks in racing on Eurosport. I can understand the ride the winds of change etc. But not a Bergman for racing fans

Loads of people watched F1, but the adverts were for Fords and Vauxhalls. Volume sales, not high value sales.

they advertise on the radio round sheffield, not sure about elsewhere. Never seen anything on the telly. Maybe they think there's not a big enough market? :scratch:
