The Suzukis are coming, so strap on your helmets, you Ontario-only-plus-Montreal motorcyclists.
Suzuki Canada has published a Montreal-and-Ontario demo-ride schedule and the whole things gets started at Barrie, Ontario, on May 9.
The published schedule concludes on Aug. 16 at Mosport, but if there’s a western, eastern, or prairies leg, we don’t know about it.
Some of the demo rides are associated with other riding events, like the Montreal Superbike race.
Here are dates, etc.

Hey, What do you expect? We’re a ‘Have Not’ province now…
I remember (until five years ago, while living in Manitoba) I sometimes had up to three or four opportunities a year to try new bikes… Sometimes it was more than 100kms away, and occasionally was different brands from one time to the next…
Not much of a schedule! If you live in North Western Ontario you are S.O.L.
