Competing Ads for Kawasaki, Yamaha Bikes Offer Similar Feel
LOS ANGELES–New TV ads for rival Kawasaki and Yamaha sport bikes use similar stylistic approaches to reach men 19-35.
The 30-second spots–one from FCB Worldwide for Kawasaki’s Ninja ZX12R, and the other from Marshall Advertising and Design for Yamaha’s R1–both employ electronic music, trippy visual effects and a futuristic look and feel.

The Yamaha ad, part of a $6 million campaign touting the company’s 2000 models, began airing last week.
