2013 Demo Days

Niagara Race Crafters down here in Niagara on the Lake is having a Kawasaki demo ride day this Sat Apr. 20th if anyone is interested. I received an e-mail today. They have the Ninja 300 and 1000, the versys and a few others. Best to call and book a time. 905-468-0076

Awwe sorry youngins! The Full M requirement for all bikes kinda blows though

I'm going to have my full M once they actually start doing motorcycle road tests at the ministry... I wonder if they'll let someone under 21 with a full M ride the bikes?
 
Participants must be 21-years or older and hold a current full motorcycle license in good standing.

There have been exceptions to various rules at past demo rides/tours before, but I wouldn't expect it.
If you are really interested in trying a Kawasaki, you can contact the Kawasaki authorized dealers near you to request a demo ride.
Most probably they will not have these restrictions (depending on the dealer/bike).

I have my full M and am an instructor. grrrrr, won't be 21 until mid September.

I forget, but I think there were still some demo rides in September last year. Although if you really want to ride a Kawi then it seems you and I are SOL until next season.
 
Does anyone know if there any exceptions to those rules? I'm planning on getting a bike during the summer and am on the fence between the CBR 250R and the Ninja 300...

I'd like to make my decision certain with a test ride.

I've called Markham Outdoor Power Honda since there will be a Come Ride With Us event with them and they said that since it's the 250R I want to test, there shouldn't be any problems with me trying out the bike as long as I have proper equipment.

I'd like to test the Ninja, but since there are no certified hosts on the site, I've been trying to contact Kawasaki themselves but to no avail. It's like no one works there :(

Go to the link below on the Kawasaki Canada website to locate an authorized dealer close to you. I am sure you can find a dealer that will let you test ride one (once you get your M2).

http://www.kawasaki.ca/dealer-locator

Since you are in Richmond Hill, here are two to get you started...

Kahuna Powersports
5243 Steeles Ave. West
Toronto,Ontario
M9L 2W2
http://www.kahunapowersports.com

Snow City Cycle Marine
1255 Kennedy Rd.
Scarborough,Ontario
M1P 2L4
http://www.snowcity.com
 
I've been to both Kahuna and Snow City Marine to ask about the test rides, but they told me that their insurance doesn't allow them to give out test rides

And I'll be getting my M2 at the end of May so hopefully that might change..

Would telling them that I've done the Learning Curves 'Get Your Feet Wet' course potentially help me get a test ride? haha.. Hoping for the best :S
