3/21 SpeedTV ZX-14 Commercial
I recorded the commercial from SpeedTV last night, cropped it out of the program, and converted it to wmv file. It's a 8MB file, so even on a fast internet connection, it wil take a bit to download.
No, this isn't a "new" video, just a new recording of it. I believe that VPN and fullzx12r have both posted the previous version in the forums. But I think this one is a larger resolution, smoother, and better sound. If not, sorry for the duplicate

Happy viewing...

No problem. I wish they aired more... maybe over the weekend on next Tuesday.
Sorry about the "snipit" of pre and post commercials - my editing software doesn't get grandular enough, it only goes down to seconds (no tenths or hundreths). I left those there instead of cropping into the actual commercial itself.

That looked like downtown LA! You don't ever ever want to ride there.

Yeah, someone mentioned that this commercial was shot in LA. Probably around 3AM with the streets closed

Holy shit! I just about friggin nailed it before I saw it? Remember the 'Hey Kawasaki Canada' discussion?
quote:
posted March 12, 2006 06:16 PM Ok, I had a cool idea today. Sort of a play on the first superman movie.
Desert highway, somewhere in California
Dude breaks down on the side of the road, old crappy generic looking bike. Starts walking towards town. Hears a bike coming up behind him, at speed
As the bike goes by, the dude notes that the rider is wearing the same helmet and jacket as he is. Hell, the guy has the same pants and boots on too! Weird, huh?
Eventually, he catches a ride into town. From the back of the pickup truck, he sees that same rider turning at the intersection and accellerating down the street. Damn, he needs to catch up with him! He pounds on the roof of the pickup, shouting for the guy to follow that bike!
Turning the corner, the bike is nowhere to be seen... The driver of the pickup truck takes him towards the local dealer. Of course, it happens to be a Kawasaki dealership. As the dude climbs out of the back of the truck he sees himself at the other end of the lot, putting his helmet on and pulling away on the ZX14.
Kawasaki ZX14 - The next dimension in excitement!
Now I have no doubt this commercial was in production before my idea. Just cool to see a close parallel produced!

It was in fact shot in downtown Vancouver BC, late January. As a bonus they didn't have to spend any money wetting the streets cause hey, its Vancouver! I was fortunate enough to watch some of it being filmed. Mostly the running footage close up shots, they were using a camera car and robotic jib arm with the bike chasing behind. The stunt rider could not get it out of first most of the time, and had to be really careful on the cold wet streets. I had a chance to talk to the rider briefly and he said it was a great handling bike with tons of power, I think he really liked it. As for me, it was love at first sight.

Kawasaki could enver get away with that over in Europe.
The politicians would ban the thing instantly!

Portraying the bike as 'fast'. And I think that depends on what country. Italy, Germany - yes. France - No.

Somebody please post a direct link to the movie file?
Because Putfile.com doses't accept access form Japan (can't login).

Putfile doesn't allow direct linking, and I don't have anywhere else to host it that will allow bunches of downloads.
If you have an ftp site or something similar, I'd be happy to copy it up...
