Glad Yamaha is still doing them. I went and rode the FZ09 last year... still cant afford to insure it but its fun for that half hour
As soon as Yamaha figures out letting people joy ride without generating a sale... Their demo rides will end too.

Cool story bro, I've been wanting to seriously buy it for three years and been getting quotes every 6 months trying to find one below $2000.... when I say can't afford I mean "something I'm willing to pay for 6 months of riding".

Yep
Insurance + weather are 2 of the killers of motorcycle sales, dont blame it on the consumer
I am still laughing he came at me like that over using a demo day for what it's meant for.
In fact, the first demo day I did with Yamaha is what made me not be able to forget about that triple. So fun. It's the only bike I have on my list when I'm able to upgrade from a 400cc.

So I've never been for a demo ride before. Curious, do you have to reserve a slot or is it first-come-first-serve? If it's only 1.5 hours (Yamaha) then not a lot of people would get to ride the bike they want.
The text that I posted from ATC corral does indicate that we need to reserve a slot.

Snow city (Yamaha) demo ride time is between 10am to 11:30am. Do people line up for these things?

I mean the entire demo is 1.5 hrs, and if everyone gets to ride for 30 min, then very few people will get to demo.
It's usually 30 minutes per ride, but yeah maybe that 10-11:30 is wrong? Only going 3 times is very short. I know the Yamaha they do at least 10 times out.

Yeah, I hope it's an error. Well I just bought the bike that I always wanted, so maybe I should let serious buyers do the demo rides especially if the time is so short. I just wanted to ride a Yamaha for once, and also want to try the Kawi Z900 or Z1000 as a potential next bike.

Perhaps ... I would like to ride and find out
FZ9 is 'punch you in the gut and take your lunch money' acceleration.
Not what everyone is looking for perhaps. Seems there are other bikes that can give you a similar rush, but you need to wind them out a lot more.I'd like to try mt10/s1kr/super duke as potential upgrades down the stretch.

Can't wait for a couple years down the road when we *hopefully* start seeing a few more of these on the used market

I'll be posting mine here first for sure!
Or were you talking about the big boy bikes?
