False advertising ;-)

Anyone who knows what happened with my TR1, would know that the advert is
false advertising.

IANAL, but does anyone think I may have a case against Yamaha?

I doubt it since it's *their* answer to superbikes.

It's not "false" advertising but misleading advertising the ASA comes
after you for.

 

Hmmm, maybe a bit of explanation is in order.

I had a certain somebody from NI visiting. We came back from picking up
various bits to get my old ZZR fixed after the prang from last year. He
wanted to have a go on my TR1 and I quite fancied a trundle on his Gixxer
Thou (MSOHFAFB: Makes Sign Of Holy Fast As **** Bike).

Here's where the fun starts: I'm not very well known for my technical
skills, or even motorcycle mainenance skills come to think of it. So, I'm on
the Gixxer, totally enjoying mysel when I look at the speedo and see 120 mph
in digital grinning at me. Then I think: hmmm, 120 mph, didn't the previous
owner of the TR1 to take it easy on the old lady, since 120 mph was about
full trottle on the TR1, I never took it over 80 mph. Came home and yes, a
nice little clucnking from areas where it shouldn't come from.

The problem may also have come from the fact that there wasn't a drop of oil
in the carter anymore, but I can't be sure ;-).

 

But hey Spete, it's got:

"5 gears" and "dual horns"

....what more could anyone want?

 

It's almost quaint.

Did you actually try to maintain it? Come on, be honest now...

 

The advert said I didn't have to......

 

Not quite. And you wouldn't really believe the marketer over the
techie, would you?
