Yamaha apparently took notice of Buell's success with the Inside Pass program: http://www.yamaha-motor.com/sport/racing/nesba_dem o.aspx
quote:Yamaha/NESBA Sportbike Demo Program Yamaha Motor Corporation and Northeast Sportbike Association (NESBA) have teamed up to develop a Sportbike Demo Program.

First it's the exhaust, now it's Inside Pass...I'm gonna take it as, "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." But looking on that site, the differences between this & Inside Pass are: 1) The Yamaha test ride is free 2) You'll likely only get 15 minutes total. "How much time will I get on the bike? Each rider will get 15 minutes on the track. We will run four 15-minute sessions during the normal track day lunch break." Free is "good", but only 15 mins. total? No thanks, I'll spend the $150 for all day.
