Aprilia attempts the tablecloth trick ... Sticks to racing!

[keshy]

Earlier this year BMW released its now infamous tablecloth video of its new S1000 RR superbike. The video definitely did take the world by storm and many speculated that it was a fake and it just may be, but it still is pretty cool.

Italian bike maker Aprilia recently set out to replicate the exact same thing but failed miserably. The failed attempt however was to prove that the Italian bikes are not made for tricks but are pure race bikes. The video posted below highlights that fact in a very sarcastic manner worth watching.

Just for the record, Aprilia has more race experience than BMW and currently leads the Superbike manufacturers championship with its RSV4. BMW stands at the other end of the table - second to last.

bmw must have used super slippery cloth, like expensive silk or satin or aerospace-technology cloth...

for sure they unable to do it..
in bmw advert, under the tablecloth is the table itself..maybe polished to reduced its vibration..and the tablecloth also made from material that have low resistance..

in ducati advert, underneath the tablecloth have another cloth..
it seems that their intention is to make it fail..
