This can't end well.

Only Indian guys own them... I ride a Bullet 500 - the Indian guy down the street owns it! He doesn't have a licence so I ride it for him.

It's slow, handles like a 70's trail bike but it's a tough bugger. I ride that bike like a rented mule, it's great on bad roads, it always makes it home.

I'll rent you my Busa for $80/day. No keys, you can sit on it, take pictures. You can still split the cost as many ways as you like -- maybe whoever looks fastest sitting on the bike can pay the bill?

lol

This is a common trend, I know many indians with motorcycle aspirations who just dont bother getting a license or insurance ever

I suppose they are used to riding in India where you dont need anything

Not sure about where you'd take that thing for a rip...but a fun little route that seems promising (not exactly legal) would be taking the Mississauga Transitway bus route....no traffic (except busses!) but a little windy and the exit ends at the 427/Renforth area...starts/ends at Square One...could be fun....I'm sure someone's taken a rip on it before.

Lol...I've been eyeing that road since it got built. Sooo tempting...
My 690 supermoto would be very happy
if we went for it...BUT Transit 5-0 is on site
which could end badly

GP bikes have a 2016 Hayabusa on their floor. Can just go click pics there for free lol.
 
I don't know how they do it. I was looking at getting into the motorcycle rental business - there wasn't a single insurer in Ontario that would even quote me prices. These guys have to be taking a monstrous personal risk.

How does harley do it?
 
Dealers have dealer fleet programs - they are very expensive, they run upwards of 10K/plate. There are a few others with fleets of exotic cars that can add motorcycles, they are paying facility rates for their fleet cars -- that's not recoverable in motorcycle rentals.

That's why you're not seeing to many dealers offering demo rides these days -- can't justify the insurance costs.

I was looking at starting with a small fleet of 300cc sport bikes and 300-650cc light adv bikes. Insurance for one year cost more than the bikes, imagine renting a bike for $99/day then finding out it needed mandatory insurance at $250/day with a $2000 deductible.

I even tried partnering with racing schools -- they pay less for insurance on their track rental bikes -- insurers say "not interested".
