Nice - I just got an invite to ride Ducatis ...... in Florida. HAHAHA!!!!
I lived there for a while so I guess they linked me to my old address. Now that I'm in Texas that may be a little bit of stretch. LOL
Thanks for the heads up. I test drove an R1 before I bought my FZ1. I wouldn't mind driving the new FZ8 to find out what it's all about.

That sounds like fun.
Aprilia does a demo tour. They have semi full of bike and run the demos from a dealer. It's fun as you can ride everything in the line. Ducati also does a similar one too.
Looks like Yamaha takes the cake. I'd love to try a new R6 or R1 on the track, FZ6R, not so much.
