Where are the motorcycle commercials?

versus national ads for the brand/manufacturer (which seems to be what the OP is mostly asking about).

Yes. I was talking about national ads put out by the manufacturers.

Compared to decades ago (and the TV ads in the OP), there are many media channels available now which can be more precisely targeted to a particular audience (including social media, streaming video, etc.), and that’s likely where the motorcycle manufacturers are focusing now.

This makes sense. When I was a kid, we had ABC, CBS, and NBC (plus KPBS, and local stations KTLA, KCOP, KTTV, and UHF channels 39 (I don’t remember the letters) and XTRA in San Diego). [Aside: I think having so many channels today has weakened national unity. But that’s something for another thread.]
