Roadster in UK billboard advert

A mobile phone company has just started advertising it's service in my area (Hampshire, UK) using a doctored picture of a roadster. It looks like a R850R but the final drive has been inverted (according to MikeUK) for 'aesthetic' reasons. It also has a baglux cover on the tank and luggage. However, it's still very much recognisable and quite nice to see it featured large by the side of the road. It's also the best colour - Black!

Yeah come on steve, I was there and you took at least 3 pictures of the billboard this lunchtime.

The picture was reveresed so that the drive shaft is on the left....sheesh Marketting people!!!!! No doubt they spent millions on a marketting survey to prove the picture would make more people will sign up to their service because of this....is it something to do with subliminal messaging?

Ouch my head hurts...can't think clearly. I have an overwhelming urge to...

......buy....new .....mobile ....handset....and...call....package.....now!!!
