Some time ago Motodisiac showed me this commercial. It was a KTM Super Duke 990 commercial that KTM had to take down from their site as it did not promote the right riding attitude and style. When you see it you will probably understand why.

Today I read this blog post that showcased a Subaru commercial. It is for the new Subaru WRX STI. Of course it had a small print there. But still this Subaru commercial is no better than the KTM one above. If you watch it till the very end you will see some really hard turns and hear some major tire squeals.

My question - why could Subaru pull it off and KTM could not?

Enjoy the commercials.

  1. I think the answer is actually very simple. The Subaru commercial is done in competition environment, while the KTM one was done in live traffic.
