[QUOTE="rezrider, post: 144074, member: 79"] Back to the "marketing ploy"... The purchase of a product is solely in the mind of the purchaser however, the producer of the product wants YOU... JOE PUBLIC to buy his product therefore he is going to advertise it as much as possible which is why many if not all sponsers do just that...sponser... people see what their products can do so they HOPE the consumer goes out and buys it. With that said, why bother hanging banners everywehere or sticking the product badge on the sides of bikes if no one cares what it is or how it did for the guy riding it? It's called marketing... Kids that play sports follow their favorite player and try and mimmick what he does down to his gear... Jeter is an awesome shortstop and uses a "brand X" glove so little Joey knows that and that's what he wants so he too can be awesome! Then there is the consumer buyer (like TS) who weighs all the possibilities, takes everything into consideration and starts filtering it out... and buys what he feels is the best for his money... Not everyone is that way otherwise everyone would be driving silver Toyota Camrys... :noidea: (boring.. but to each his own) Many people will by on impulse, the latest trend, fashion, hottest item... that leads to what bikes are winning the most, that is where the market heads. :prof:............... :shocked:....
