Identify this tv bike...

Anybody know what kind of bike the dude is riding in the health care commercial on tv? You know the one where a gray-haired, wrinkled ole guy (kind of like me) says he has "been riding flat out his whole life and wants to leave this life exhausted" but needs some health care outfit to help him manage his meds? I like the bike but can't identify it. :small3d031:
 
Triumph Maybe? I have seen the commercial, never gave it too much thought:p
 
Thanks, I'll keep trying for a better look at it.

I was just wondering. Funny how now that I am riding again my eye is drawn to bikes like never before. Took my Mom to the doctor and shopping today and there was a little Suzuki parked outside the store and I just had to go check it out. Guess once a biker, always a biker... :)
 
Record the commercial, then play it back, frame-by-frame and you should be able to see a logo somewhere on the bike.

The consensus on cafe forums is that the basic bike is a Honda CB550 with wheels and other bits, etc. from some other models

My guess was a 750 honda because of the sound...

Cochise Motor Sports in Sierra Vista, Az. has two (restored) up-stairs a 550 and 750.. The 550 was a sale from a friend of mine traded in for a New shadow and it was in MINT condition,,, the 750 has the more aggressive sound I think I hear when it rides off in the commercial... Other wise to me Both are Identical bike... Nice...
