Anyone doing demo rides?

Just did a suzuki one and I test rode the 2016 Vstrom 650, GXS1000F and a GSXR 750.

The Vstrom was whatever. It's way too tall, I'm 5'8 and couldn't even flat foot. It's a bit torquey I guess. It'd be a good bike for highways and long trips but not for stop and go riding. The mirrors made the bike feel super big on the road.

The GXS1000F was terrifyingly fast. The suspension was terrible but that's definitely a quick bike and it was comfortable too.

The GSXR 750 was fast, had great handling and the ergonomics were good since they gave me a neutral spine position. But damn my wrists were on fire after the ride.
