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?

sorry i can't answer you
so people can see them.
Good question. I never seen one in New Zealand, but there are plently in Indonesia.
do you get satellite TV because there is some great bike stuff on there on the sports Chanel .when the GP starts some cracking adverts .you should try extreme sports Chanel they have been showing some great extreme motocross you name name it somersaults bike completely up side down insane AY
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.
