It’s hard to know if a motorcycle is right for you until you’ve ridden it, but many dealers don’t offer test rides. At Woman Rider, we try to provide an in-depth look and honest riding impressions through our motorcycle reviews to give you everything you need to know about a model before visiting your local dealership, but words and photos don’t quite compare to the experience of a first ride on a new motorcycle.
If you’ve been reading our motorcycle reviews and have wanted to get a taste of riding a new Suzuki model yourself, you’re in luck! Beginning the week of March 1-9 at Daytona Bike Week, the Suzuki National Demo Tour invites riders to schedule a demo from an extensive list of Suzuki models.
If you’re at Daytona Bike Week and want to try out a new Suzuki, bring your license and your riding gear to the Suzuki display at Daytona International Speedway. Demo rides will be available from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Schedule a ride on a GSX-8R, GSX-8S, V-Strom 800 or 1050, Hayabusa, or any other Suzuki from the list of available models.

In addition to demo rides, you’ll also find a display of fully accessorized models, custom bikes, Suzuki racing bikes, and Genuine Suzuki Accessories.
If you miss your chance in Daytona, take a look at the Suzuki National Demo Tour schedule at the end of this article. The tour will travel to key MotoAmerica races, the U.S. round of MotoGP, some NHRA drag races, key rallies, and more.
