This is how they sold Suzukis in Italy back in the day

Why don't we see ads like this anymore?

political correctness - it's demeaning to the female of the sexes.

Unfortunately.............

this may be more acceptable today........

Translated the ad heading through google:
Women and motorcycles are all the same. But some are "more" equal. For example in the Comfortable - (on the 750) And -the security (on the 380).

And then the comparison between Cristina and the 750, and Milena and the 380, which text I couldn't read.

Didn't quite get it, but I kinda see the principle of what they are trying to say. Like the word "morbido" about Cristina which means soft

Their Italian ads were pretty tame. Mustn't of had much of a marketing budget.
