Anyone have a Yellow Honda Sportbike?

[Shizznid]

Once again, I'm looking for some motorcycles for a commercial that shoots in the next 2 weeks.

Specifically, a Yellow Honda sportbike - VFR, CBR, VTR Superhawk, etc....it MUST be a Honda, since the commercial producers are affiliated with Honda Corp. From the F2 and F3 styles to the current CBR...

Also looking for a Black Honda VTX cruiser....late model...

If you've got one, email me pics and your contact info ASAP - Zack@PictureVehicles.com

The job will pay a few hundred bucks just to put your bike on camera - NO RIDING of the motorcycle for this shoot. If you've got the bike, i'll give you the details!

Will a sexy copper SVS work? :D

[MACHETE!]

I got a Yellow bike, but sorry no Honda.... but for a few hundred bikes we can change decals and put honda on it.... :D

[Shizznid]

Yellow. Honda. Sportbike. Only.

Also looking for a black VTX.

And FYI - this is a nicely paid shoot!

Fuck it go to Home Depot get a couple of Spray cans and paint it yellow.... Zack did say yellow Honda... didn't matter..

[Buellba Fett]

Dang. I got a yellow Buell and a red VFR.
It's like I missed the mega # that pays out... :sad:

You want this posted on the VFR board? There's several yellow VFRs in SoCal I know there. They will all be 5th gen VFRs (the previous body style) since I think that's one of the few models that came in yellow.

I have a friend with a yellow cbr 600rr, passing this info along.

Edit: never mind, apparently it's blue now.

Hell yeah - have 'em send me photos and contact info!

[CBRMANIMAL]

I guess my yellow 98 900rr would quailfy so whats the details?

[Shizznid]

I can't release details publicly. Basically, it's a commercial shoot that just requires the bike to be sitting on camera - no riding. Honda is involved, so they'd prefer to have Honda vehicles on camera. But it is NOT a Honda commercial.

I sent pics of your 900RR, as well as a bunch of VFR's - we'll see what the director likes.

Thanks for all the responses...

Now if I could only find a Black Honda Cruiser, like the VTX!

[fast4d]

let me know if you will settle for a yellow aprilia.;)

I have a 2003 BLACK Honda VTX 1800C. Some "custom" pieces - seats, bags, windshield, chrome, etc. If you are interested let me know.

Probably not for this shoot, but I add each vehicle to our database for future on-camera work anyway...he might as well send it on over!

If you are really interested in finding a a great VTX to shoot, post something here:

Let me warn you, they are a tough crowd. If you are serious, they would be very happy to supply whatever you want. If, however, you are just fishing, they will be most unhappy - not pleasant.

Well, the script calls for a modern black Honda cruiser, and the director likes the VTX - it doesn't have to be a perfect motorcycle by any means, just something that looks good on camera.

As for "fishing", this is how it works: A director calls looking for a vehicle, and we start looking. We submit as many pictures as possible, and the director picks what he likes. We negotiate a price/condition with the owner and the production company. Obviously, not everyone that submits their photo/vehicle gets picked for the commercial.

In the past few months, several members of SCSVR have submitted their vehicles for commercial work, and a few of them have been picked. So, considering it's a no-cost, no obligation service, it's not a bad deal for anyone to submit photos of ANY and EVERY vehicle they want to have considered for TV/Film work

That said, I'd hate to make any of these VTX owners "most unhappy". I think I'll refrain from posting there. But thanks for the heads up!

How badass can a group of friggin' Shadow riders be?

:confused:

Update: Having been contacted by these Shadow riders, I would like to say they are, indeed, real men, and I will be moving to the south of France ASAP ...

[Joe T]

Shizznid,

I would not hesitate to post there - just explain what is going on.

One of the board regulars did a VTX calendar for 2005 that was very good - for a non-professional effort. It was a means of generating some cash for his niece who was dying of cancer. I still have two of them.

Anyway, there are some outstanding "amateur" VTX's out there and the owners monitor that board. There are also a couple of local companies, such as Viking Motorcycles, which have some truly awesome custom VTX's.

Don't be bashful, tell the the complete story, and I think you will be very satisfied with the response. Just take the time to explain the complete situation - as you did above.

Regards,
Joe T.

Friend of mine has a yellow CBR600F4i, an '06 I think.
I'll take a picture tomorrow and ask if he's interested.

When and where will you need it?

hahaha, you're so funny

[Joe T]

Shizznid,

I will be visiting a friend this evening who has a BLACK VTX 1800N. His is quite unique. It has the Corbin Beetle Bags and a lot of custom touches. I will get him to e-mail me some photos and I will forward them to you. That way, you will have at least two to choose from - one rather traditional (mine) and one a little more retro yet modern - if that makes sense.

Regards,
Joe T.
