Hey MRA members,
My name is Kate Schreiber and I'm a freelancing product design and consumer researcher working with another researcher names Mekayla Beaver who will be covering the Denver area.
Mekayla and I have recently landed a project with a major motorcycle manufacturer who is in process of designing their next-generation vehicle.
So far, we've gotten some great feedback from Italian motorcycle owners out on the East Coast where I live (Ducati and MV Agusta owners mostly found through the desmo yahoo group and mvagust.net) but we are looking to get broader insight from a second market (Denver) and more brand owners - Suzuki, Yamaha, BMW, Moto Guzzi, Aprilla, Buell (sorry about the recent news Buell owners!), etc. in addition to Ducati and MV Agusta owners.
So we're currently seeking sport-bike owners in the Denver area who would be willing to participate in a 1.5 hour face-to-face interview. The interview is composed of three parts: (a) getting to know who you are and your motorcycle ownership history (b) checking out your current ride and learning what you like about it, and what you'd like improved, and (c) showing you the bike that is currently in development and getting your feedback on it's visual appeal, performance characteristics, ergonomics, etc.
If you are interested in participating, please email me at : katemschreiber@yahoo.com
When you email, please include your first name, age, the make, model and model year of the sport-bike that you currently own, town you live in, and any initial questions you may have about the study.
Below, I've included a few links to help highlight that this is a totally legitimate study. I hope to hear from you and encourage your participation. This really is your chance to impact the design of a high-end sport motorcycle!
Thanks so much!
Kate Schreiber
