J Lo's Hayabusa Pepsi Special Bike Up for Grabs

Certainly many of you - and mostly men - have to remember one particular Pepsi commercial that aired about seven years ago, starring Beyonce and J. Lo, both impersonating elite fighters riding Suzuki Hayabusa motorcycles. If your memory is not refreshed yet, you can watch the specific spot below this article.

Getting back to the two-wheeled vehicles used in the Pepsi advert, one of the two bikes, namely the one ridden by J. Lo, is now currently offered for sale at GBP19,995.

Not only the bike sports the same paint scheme it did for the commercial, but it also has LED lighting underbody and tail tidy. WIth just 100 miles (160
km) on the clock, the Busa also comes with a full pack of photos from the build and photo-shoot, and full provenance. You can check it out here.

The first stage of the filming was shot at Shepperton studios, the bikes were then flown to Hong Kong where the filming took place over 5 nights on Hong Kong Island and around Kowloon. The bikes were then flown back to the UK to be taken by truck to Madrid for the premiere.

Naturally, you must be wondering what happened to the other bike built for Beyonce. Well, it looks like that one was sold at auction to a private collector for a 5-figure sum.

Two extra bikes were produced after the commercial was shot, David Beckham who also starred in the commercial had one and Tom Cruise had the other.
