Hi Jim
The only Dealers that do demo rides are individual H.D. Dealers, some BMW & Ducati dealers and that's about it. The only place that I know of to Demo ride more motorcycles is at Vintage Motorcycle Days in Lexington, Ohio in the end of July. The factories {almost all of them} bring certain bikes down that weekend for the Vintage Swapmeet & Races. People are aloud to demo ride and they don't go very far with them. They ride them on the race track's property only. I would say 95% of the Insurance companies that insure dealers in the USA do Not insure for test rides or demo rides of any kind. I know a H.D. dealer that does demo rides once a year and they get a special bond through the State of Ohio to do it.
