I think erle is talkin' about this commercial here, Mac...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JI6bW-Gd-Uc

And up until now, I hadn't recognized that that very cute T-Mobile girl takes off on a 675 Daytona in it.

(...good catch there erle...either the paint job on the bike had me fooled, OR I've been lookin' a little too much at the aforementioned cute girl...maybe a little of both)

I think her bike is a Ducati but I could be mistaken... I think the commercial in question is one where she passes another bike (a triumph) that is supposed to represent AT&Ts slower network... Couldn't find the commercial online, but saw it on tv

OOOOH! Maybe you're right, Andrew. There's not much time showing the bike in this one.
.

And now that I've watched it again, that bike has a single-sided swingarm, and Ducatis have those, and 675's don't. The only Triumphs with those are Speed Triples, huh.

(...good catch...and so you're sayin' that there's an even newer commercial which shows her passing a Triumph on that Ducati, is that right?!)

Yep that's what it looks like... Just saw it once.

Hey Andrew! Seein' as how erle is bein' sooooo freakin' cryptic here(I love how he starts these things, and only gives ya the barest of information

)...do you recall what model Triumph she passes in that commercial?

Think it might be one of these.

Busy night at work

Saw the same commercial and almost threw a cushion at it. Yes she is riding a Ducati and blowing away a Triumph (to show the t-mobile network is faster than the competition).

Oh! So NOW her bike is a MV Agusta, eh Stephen?!

(...ya know, you might be right too...though once again, that custom paint job makes it kinda hard to tell, doesn't it?!)

Not sure really... I'm gonna guess late model bonneville, but it was just a glance so don't hold me to it. Can't find the ad online yet. Would have been paying closer attention if I hadn't been forced to sit through my wives Real Housewives show... Don't judge me

Well, I understand the reaction there Don, but ya gotta admit a Ducati 1098(if that's what she has, and it kinda looks like it) WILL blow a Bonneville away without tryin'.

(...though one WOULD think they could've used, say, an 883 Sportster to make their point, huh!...but then again, maybe they didn't want to alienate any and/or ALL of the H-D "Faithful", aka the "Sheeple", by doin' that...and remember, THOSE folks buy cellphones TOO!!!)

But the guy on the bike didn't look cool either. Obvious case of false advertisement! Damn media.

Don't know why ya'll can't find it

The dude looks stoned

web page

Well NOW I can't wait to see this thing, Don!

'Cause there's only ONE way to make a Triumph look uncool, ya know!

(...and THAT of course would be IF the guy ridin' it looks anything like Barry Manilow!!!)

Thanks, Bill! Okay, so it's an old T140 Triumph, eh?!

Well, at least they used an old classic to make their point.

(...and btw, ya know who the Triumph rider looks like, though I don't think it's him?...he looks like "How I Met Your Mother" character Ted Mosby, actor Josh Radnor, who yeah, IS kind of a dweeb in that show, though a likable one)

Slow night at home.

Nope... I have it on good info that its a Ducati.
My friend works for Tmobile here in Wa at their corp headquarters. He posted this on FB a couple weeks ago but I had no idea what it was. Now I do.

I saw the commercial for the first time tonight...the guy was putting like granny & looked like a DB..not an image I was fond of. See once again, Hollywood knows nada.

Ya know, I gotta say I think some of you guys are takin' this thing MUCH too personally.

Hell, do you have any idea how many people watchin' that commercial would have absolutely NO freakin' clue about what kind of motorcycle that dweeb is even ridin'?!!

(...AND I'll betcha HALF the freakin' HARLEY riders out there nowadays who'll see it, ESPECIALLY all the freakin' RUBs, won't have a freakin' clue EITHER!...wanna freakin' BET???!!!)

Oh well, all them foreign bikes look the same, apart from the Dinli DL 282 of course.

Carly Foulkes is hot.

Then whats this? It says it's a Kaw Ninja Zx-10. Are there 2 different bikes for different commercials??

Yeah, pretty much looks like me but younger, totally uncool.

He looks like a stoned Nicolas Cage.

Yep Ed, different bike. That customized ZX10 was featured in a T-mobile commercial which ran a couple of years back.
