Beautiful photography yet disturbing. There's a standard Bonneville in the commercial.

Those bikes are probably on eBay now "one careful owner, zero miles"

Take solace in knowing they were sacrificed for a good cause... which doesn't help but just trying.

Very cool how they work out all those crashed to get a good effect. Then the slow mo is awesome.
It must be nice to be able to tear stuff up at will because the money don't matter. The creativity in this commercial is excellent. It looks like a scene from a movie. Nice post.

There should be a viewer discretion warning on this video

Shoot, Crashing a motorbike is a piece of cake, the getting up part takes real talent

Just think how disturbing it would be if there were people on the bikes...

It's certainly well made. Really only the crashing bonnie bothers me and only because I'm thinking, "What a waste."

There was at least one Harley rolling sideways down the road. They seemed to stay away from the riki racers though, probably too instable to allow them loose on their own.

Looks like they crashed two 919s. I will never understand why Honda stopped making them. Great bikes.

Yeah, its sad to watch but pretty cool too.

Nice music toward the end of this clip. Definitely hard to watch though. I keep imagining what I might be doing had I been on one of these bikes. Or waiting for the bus when the Bonneville comes flying in.
Agreed on the 919's too. Those were cool bikes.
