Why go and ruin a good thing. Why would anybody want to advertise a watch, much less anything, on their motorcycle. Anyone who buys that motorcycle is missing the point. Since it’s inception, the Bonneville is easily one of the most understated, yet beautiful motorcycles. The advertising just detracts from the beauty of the actual bike. I have Bonneville. I love Bonnevilles. If I saw a guy riding that Bonneville or Belstaff Bonneville or Lucky Charms Bonneville I’d just have to look down and spit.

Bit of an oddball conceived by marketing gurus no doubt.

@ Mark: so it’s either 13 months early, or irrelevant.

Poor marketing stunt.

Instead, they could have celebrated the 40th anniversary of their 3 cylinder engines this year. Now that’s worthy of a special edition speed triple or Daytona…

While Bonnies are always inherently cool, this is probably the worst cross-promotional example of the bunch.

You summed it up pretty well in your first two sentences.
