-In the 80’s the French motorcycle media coined the phrase “ La Moto De Monsieur Tout Le Monde “ (Everyman’s Motorcycle, or UJM Universal Japanese Motorcycle) to describe the output from the big four manufacturers because they appeared to be totally identical. If you’d covered the factories’ logos you wouldn’t have been able to tell one from another and what is more, at times you could even have transplanted from one to another without much effort, everything was uniform, the same, ‘global’, impersonal and lacking in imagination and variety.. except that is, for the resistance offered by the European manufacturers.
However, much the same thing seems to be happening in the world of bike builders
Except for a few rare exceptions, all bikes getting built at present seem to be the same, they follow the same pattern, round headlight, wide ‘bars, loaf shaped tank, flat seat ( a baguette). All of them fitted with the same useless, obsolete tyres, keeping to the original suspension and brake set ups that were pathetic years ago when they were launched to the market – and the colours? My God !!– there is no colour! Everything is olive, grey (several shades to choose from), black, satin finishes, dark – perhaps a reflection of the world we are living , grey miserable, uniform and ‘global’ !!!
Of course, none of this matters if the photography of what’s on offer is, ‘cool’ – what makes something ‘cool’ seems to be including all the accepted clues, but that are actually clichés, the Chesterfield sofa, the beards, Belstaffs, plaid shirts, the useless and dangerous jet helmet and lastly an image that is scribbled over as if it was drawn by hand in which you cannot make out the detail of the bike, but its all very ‘artistic’ and aesthetic, as demanded by the ‘influencers’, or they won’t publish the pictures!!
The bikes aren’t given names, they get numbered instead, the mechanics of the bikes aren’t part of the deal, they’re not revised or improved, so they still have all the shortcomings they had in their day
However, the customer that buys them is happy enough, they’re now ‘different’, they’re riding the wave, they’re cool, they’ve joined the new tribe where a personalized bike that goes with your new wardrobe is IT, not only …..have they become a McQueen or a Brando, but they’re also a ‘wild thing’!
But in the final analysis, they have become…………….. just another differently identical Monsieur Tout Le Monde and they ride La Moto De Monsieur Tout Le Monde !!!
As in the 80’s, there are still a few of us who still believe in difference and that difference consists of building and personalizing motorcycles by improving them, overcoming their shortcomings and updating them to the 21st century because we believe in performance, in improving specifications, in individuality and in real character !!!
Be eXTReme!!!
PS: Next time I’ll write about the press, trends they follow, the influencers, advertorial and the imminent bursting of this bubble ;).. and now I’m off to make lunch !!

-En los años ochenta la prensa francesa acuño el termino LA MOTO DE MONSIEUR TOUT LE MONDE (la moto del señor todo el mundo), para describir la producción japonesa de la época en la que las motos de los cuatro fabricantes eran totalmente idénticas. Si tapabas el logotipo de la moto no eras capaz de distinguir una de otra …. es mas a veces hasta podrías intercambiar los motores de una a otra sin dificultad . Era todo uniforme, igual, ”global”….impersonal…. no había cabida para la imaginación y la diferencia…..bueno si, la resistencia de la industria europea!!.
Pues actualmente pasa lo mismo en el mundo de las preparaciones de moto.
Salvo muy raras excepciones todas las preparciones de moto actualmente son iguales , siguen el mismo patrón faro redondo ,manillar ancho ,deposito y asiento tipo “barra de pan”. Todas con los mismo inútiles y obsoletos neumáticos , manteniendo incluso sistemas de suspensión y frenos que ya eran patéticos el año en el que salieron al mercado …..y el color? …por Dios,…si no hay color !! Todo es gris, negro, satinado, oscuro, parece un reflejo del mundo actual gris, triste, uniforme y global.
Claro que todo esto no importa si la fotografia de presentación es “cool” y aparecen los típicos cliches , los chester, las barbas, los barbour, la camiseta del constructor de turno, el inútil y peligroso casco jet y por último una fotografía desdibujada en la que ni siquiera se ve la moto, pero muy bonita y artística…es lo que piden los influencer “por Dios”….que sino no te la publican !!
Las motos no tienen nombre son numeradas, la parte técnica de la moto no es revisada, no es mejorada…la moto seguirá teniendo los mismos problemas que ya tenia en su época.
Pero el usuario de estas motos es feliz…ya es diferente, está en la onda, es cool …pertenece a la nueva tribu en la que tener una moto personalizada que haga juego con tu vestuario es lo más, y además es un McQueen, un Brando …..es un wild thing !!.
Pero al final ………….. no es sino uno más de los que son diferentemente iguales, porque es un MONSIEUR TOUT LE MONDE, y tiene una MOTO de MONSIEUR TOUT LE MONDE.
Como en los ochenta, todavía quedamos algunos que creemos en la diferencia, y esta diferencia consiste en PREPARAR y PERSONALIZAR las motos, mejorándolas, solventando sus carencias y adptándolas al siglo XXI , porque creemos en el rendimiento, en las prestaciones, en el individualismo …, en tener carácter !!
Be eXTReme!!!
PS: Otro día hablaré de la prensa, las tendencias, los influencers, la publicidad y el fin próximo de esta burbuja 😉 …y ahora me voy a hacer la comida !!
