This was at Milton Honda today, guy also said its a new policy they started this year across all rides, not sure if true or not. Very stupid
 
I highly doubt its across all rides, each dealer generally runs the show, if you go to a better dealer on a demo day you might get a different response

The info I got above was from the honda rep, not dealer. And it was the same tour, they told me(M1) to come out to milton and try the rebel first and then they'll put me on a shadow. Mind you I did say it was the last thing I needed to do before pulling the trigger.
 
M1 no one lets you ride, m2 they let you ride most if not all the stuff

What can I say, that was from the honda rep himself. Maybe it's a new policy based on the fact half the line up that comes off the truck is considered beginner bikes.
 
Yeah i personally have never encountered weirdness on demo days, some are obviously better than others, but since the bikes themselves dont belong to the dealers, they can say ****. Usually demo days are a mix of "Im here to have fun on some bikes" and "im trying to narrow down on what i like and will purchase"
 
I probably wouldn't be going to a demo day to have fun anyway. I mean other than trying to take that last step before deciding to pull the trigger, only other reason I'd want to ride the bikes, is to get a feel for something I've never tried before. Like I always say I'm a strict cruiser guy, but I don't know for sure. Maybe I try a cbr and find that it fits like a glove, who knows.

Careful with that throttle on the fz haha ;)
 
Just got off the phone with the honda demo guy, apparently they arent bringing any sport bikes, heck not even the VFR....really setting the bar low now honda...
 
It's not really surprising. They only have so much room on the truck and they probably try and bring bikes that they want to encourage more sales of. Bringing a 140+hp SS bike and letting the uninitiated ride it is probably a bigger risk for them as far as liability etc than bringing the more milder bikes in their line up. Also, sport bikes in North America have a tendency to sell based on their spread sheet numbers and wins in racing. 99.99% of the potential buyers of these bikes have no where near the level of skill to be able to actually judge the performance of the bike yet most (if they manage to hold on to their license) will want to "upgrade" to the latest/greatest claiming that their 3yr old SS bike "lacks power". I'm certain Honda has a fairly easy time selling CBR's just going by the number of them I see on the roads. I'm guessing that Honda is more interested in encouraging someone to try a bike like the Africa Twin, the VFR1200X, the NC750x, the 500 line etc in the hopes that they will be pleasantly surprised and consider buying one.
 
Honda hasnt come up with an exciting bike in years...(not including the Africa twin)

If yamaha/suzuki/ducati etc can bring their 'cool' bikes around they must know something honda doesnt.

meh no thruxton, no t120

They say 'valid M'...does that mean full M or can you get on with an M2?
 
3rd year in a row with no speed trip available to ride. : (
The new bobber does look interesting though.
 
You can call gp separately, they usually require cc and waiver

I didn't see it posted earlier, but there is a KTM demo ride at Apex cycle in Cambridge happening on Tuesday and Wednesday next week.

There is an Indian demo ride in Oakville this weekend at Peak Powersports (I think that's the name). Saturday and Sunday.

Looking at the Apex calendar on their site it looks like there is a Ducati day right after the KTM one (on the 15th)
