One month after getting a sponsorship from Yokohama, the famous japanese tire company, Pride middleweight champion Wanderlei Silva, was invited by a Honda branch in Curitiba (Cabral Motos), to put his 'WAND' logo on a limited series of cycles: Twister (CBX 250), Titan (CG 150) e Biz (C 100).
oLast month, One day before leaving for Japan to face Yuki Kondo, Wanderlei filmed the advertisement that has being broadcast on Parana tv since last Saturday.
'Our idea is show that 'Wand' motorcycless have the same qualities of the champion - strength, endurance and power' stated Victor Spindola, the creator of the advertising campaign. Besides the logo on the tank, the limited series of bikes will have a special helmet, copying the famous tattoo that Silva has on his head.
'I´m very proud that important companies like Honda and Yokohama are are starting to believe in our sport. I hope this is a first step for many other fighters' a proud Wanderlei Silva told us after his return from Tokyo, where he ran over Yuki Kondo in the last Pride Final Conflict, held on August 15th.
