Rous has a wide perspective as a distributor of several different brands’ products. He has a unique relationship with both the manufacturer and the retailer. “Most manufacturers have been slugging it out over the last 10 years for supremacy,” says Rous, “offering various incentives like free fitting campaigns, branded clothing gifts or even vouchers to be spent in store. This thing never really happened before that period, maybe because tyres weren’t seen as such an integral part of the machine – which of course we’ve always known they are.” Whether it’s tyre-related or not, in truth we’re all after much more for our money these days. With flawless next-day logistics and unparalleled access to information, end-users have never had it so easy to find the best products at the best prices. This means that manufacturers have never had to work so hard to stay at the top of their game. Times are changing, and it appears customers are becoming less rigid about their choice of purchases.

Refined choices In previous times, demand for OE fitment products boomed. Not too long ago, Bridgestone offered 17 different versions The big, long-standing brands remain the market-leaders of the front BT020, whereas now the latest options are curtailed to just three variants. “Many riders stick to the “A new brand has to offer Nonetheless, Rous remains something either wildly better confident that, despite people OE tyre marque.

April 2015 31 Feature: Press launches - the reality

32 April 2015 ver seen one of those army or navy recruiting films? The ones aimed at spunky 15-year-old Elads from the wrong side of the tracks? Looks amazing, doesn’t it? Lots of skiing, mountain-climbing, sailing round the Caribbean, maybe with the odd line about catching drug smugglers or helping with famine relief. Not so much talk about basic training in the Welsh rain, psychotic PT instructors, or Helmand Province. Sometimes, motorbike press launches are a little like that. Of course, you seldom end up in genuinely mortal danger (although bikes are dangerous, kids: go careful out there). And even the scariest PR flunky doesn’t tend to punch you repeatedly in the face until you swim through a concrete sewer pipe full of mud. But there’s the same disconnect with reality. Open the pages of a magazine and you see gorgeously-taken pics of a journalist, wheelying majestically across the plains of the Serengeti or barreling through Laguna Seca’s Corkscrew.

If Carlsberg did motorbike launches… The best launch I ever had wasn’t so much a new bike presentation; rather, it was a test ride on Honda’s RC211V V5 MotoGP bike at Sepang. Honda had booked the posh seats on a Malaysia Airlines 747, so we turned up at the super-humid track in very decent order. Each journo had five laps on Nicky Hayden’s V5: one out lap, three ‘fast’ laps, and one in-lap. The cherry on the icing on the cake was still to come, though: three laps on Dani Pedrosa’s championship-winning HRC RS250 RW two-stroke. Little Dani’s 250 turned at the speed of thought, and the V-twin two-stroke engine was incredible, more like a strong supersport 600 than a peaky RGV250. Once we’d come down from riding the best GP bikes in the world, there was a few day’s R&R in

Launch gifts The notion of launch ‘gifts’ can seem perverse to an outsider. The bike firm will often give journalists a small present for coming. Isn’t that just a bribe? On the face of it, yes. On the other hand, road testers jealously guard their reputation for knowing how a bike goes. Would they really risk giving a poor bike full marks in return for a T-shirt, or a nice rucksack? Probably not. Gifts range from the sublime (the legendary gold – or silver; accounts vary – ingot on the original Ducati 916 launch) to the ridiculous (when the Yamaha R1 went from five-valve to four-valve heads, they gave away one inlet valve to each journo). I once received no fewer than five gifts on a Honda launch – a T-shirt, a rucksack, a head torch, a Sony Playstation Portable and a helmet bag. But that was exceptional (unlike the bike, as my report unerringly stated…) By and large, though, launch gifts are just that – a nice little token to say ‘thanks for coming’.
