Help me friends, please.

The insurance policy is crap and will leave the bike owner hanging out to dry if something serious happens.
If you are considering renting out your bike though this company.. please understand how little coverage you will actually have.
If someone gets hurt while renting your bike, or hurts someone else... You will be sued... and their coverage won't protect you.
USD which is $65 CDN.
As long as the scooter is >50cc and can reach speeds over 70 km/h, then it's classified as a motorcycle.
If the scooter is less than 50cc and can't reach 70 km/h, you can still take the motorcycle test, but upon a successful pass, you'll be given a Limited-Speed Motorcycle (LSM) license instead of a full motorcycle license.
Burgman 400 seems to satisfy MTO's requirement for being a full motorcycle.
Some people on GTAM might disagree, though...
No doubt.
But the OP is the renter, not renting his own bike through the website. So all advice is given from this point of view.
But as you say, I wouldn't put my own bike up for rent for the reasons you state.

I see, well considering its not for a fun ride and only for the test I think I will end up renting this burgmann, I just need to confirm if anyone had a good experience with this riders share
Should be fine, as long as the renter wears his helmet.

You can be the first and tell us how it went.
Rode a brand new 400 Bergman once, was so underpowered and heavy it was scary to ride, you have to start to accelerate 'before' the light turns green and speed bumps are near impossible to traverse, handle bars are positioned perfect if you have stumps for arms. Trying to think of something nice to say about it :| nope, I got nothing.

My only advice would be to rent the motorcycle for a day that is well in advance of the test date so that you have the opportunity to get used to it, and to Canadian roads.
If you don’t like the bike, then you still have time to find another one before the test day.

Good advice, I'll try renting one before so I can make sure it's safe to rent for my test.
I think their terms and conditions state that their optional insurance for the rider.. is only available in the US. If that is right.. You will have to have your own policy that extends to motorcycle rentals.. to be insured.

Most car insurance covers rentals. Wonder if it would cover renting a MC thru that site?

Pretty sure I called and asked my car insurer and they said no. May vary from insurer to insurer

Hmmmm, I wonder what your insurance rates would be if you told your broker you live in Brampton and you are going to rent your R1 out to anybody with an M license 
or would they just send you a registered letter to cancel your policy.
I was under the impression that by Ontario law your mandatory insurance has to make good on claims, even if somebody stole your bike and did a no-no with it.

I am pretty sure all insurance policies have a clause that exempts coverage if the claim occurs as a result of a criminal act. I'm not sure if this is actually enforced (or enforceable) or just something for lawyers to fight over at settlement time.Hmmmm, I wonder what your insurance rates would be if you told your broker you live in Brampton and you are going to rent your R1 out to anybody with an M license

You would need a commercial policy.
I'm pretty sure that would be a criminal act on the part of the owner, get away vehicle etc. The OP has a unique situation and Ontario legislation sees motorcycles as toys and the legislators are unlikely to go out of their way to change anything. Good luck OP. BTW it's pouring rain here today. Wouldn't be a good day for a road test.
