During the lunch stop of a recent ride the topic of demo rides came up because there have been so many in this area this year. I did demo rides by Kawasaki, CFMoto, Royal Enfield, BMW and Indian. In past years I also did demo rides by Honda, Yamaha, Buell, KTM and Harley.
One of the guys who used to live near Daytona said he would do several days of demo rides during Daytona Bike week. His opinion was that Harley did it the best in that they made it easy to do demo rides because they wanted people to ride their bikes. The Japanese often made it a PITA to ride their bikes.
I'm talking about demo rides by the factory, not the dealer letting you test ride on of their bikes.
For those of you who have done Demo rides, who does it best....and worst.
