Why do we never see motorbikes advertised on TV?

I’m not sure about other countries, but I’ve never happened to see an advert for a motorbike on British television and wondered if there’s a reason?

    cos bikes will always be too much fun. as far as tv companies are concerned bikes/bikers are trouble causers and that goes back to the mods and rockers. have a look on eurosport and you will see all the bike ads you can throw a stick at

    They’ve been advertizing them here…In USA. See them for Honda, Victory, Kawisaki, Harley, and others alot.

    Bike adverts on British mainstream TV aren’t “politically correct” and big brother doesn’t want to be seen to encourage anything that seems too dangerous for the common man! Basically, they think we’d all kill ourselves and boost the accident statistics!!

    Same in Canada. There are motorbike shows and ads for the shows, but no ads like car ads. Harley has billboards. Maybe once I saw a bike ad on TV during some kind of special show – but don’t really remember.

    We are not a big enough target market I guess. Almost everyone has a car, but not a bike. But I am sure I have seen ads for snowmobiles.

    Weird.
