In the late 90s, the motorcycle industry was full of optimism and bikes were getting screen time on TV programs like the Today Show. Apparently said TV program had a segment called “Today’s Weekend Adventurer”, and in this instance Andy Pargh takes viewers through some of the offerings of the time. Time for a quick hit of the good old days, where Pargh was predicting an 18% increase in sales next year!
Andy discusses the:
Suzuki TL1000R
Yamaha R1
Yamaha V Star 650
Honda Shadow Aero
Harley-Davidson Road Glide 95th Anniversary Edition (note how eager the co-host is to hop on it)
Kawasaki Vulcan Nomad 1500 (co-host can’t be bothered)
Kawasaki Vulcan Drifter (this was apparently the first time it was shown on TV).
I’ll take that TL1000R, thank you very much.
