Video: BMW’s South African TV ad splashes stooges superbike style

Check out this amusing bit of video that’s running as an advertising campaign in South Africa.

It’s to push the S1000RR superbike and it’s a combination of Candid Camera (remember that?) and good old outrageous speeding past a bus stop (remember doing that?).

BMW Motorrad SA is behind the ad where the road alongside a bus stop was rigged to splash a puddle as if a bike had just blasted through the water, the effect is accompanied by hidden speakers in the bus stop that play the sound of a S1000RR going past at full chat. It works and the reaction from the people caught by the trickery is great.

Here’s the vid, we liked it so much that we thought we’d show you it:
