An unmistakable sound when the engine starts. A unique silhouette as the motorcycle rises against the horizon. A heart that beats with joy as you accelerate out of a turn. During test rides on the bikes provided by IDM pool partners, the thrill of riding is palpable. As part of the IDM finale at the Hockenheimring on September 24 and 25, many models will be available for test rides.
BMW presents a lineup of the GS 850 Adventure 
all the way up to the S 1000 RR.
Honda's lineup ranges from the Africa Twin to the NT 1100 DCT.
Kawasaki is launching a model that’s a colorful mix between the Versys 650 and the Ninja 1000 SX.
Yamaha is launching a new model that bridges the gap between the MT-09 and the XSR 900.
Whether you just want to try something new or are still looking for the right motorcycle, you can see for yourself the advantages of each bike here and get a feel for what feels “right” to you personally.
How does the test ride work?
Go to the desired manufacturer's booth. Choose a motorcycle. Schedule an appointment. Present your ID and driver's license. Take it for a spin. You must bring your own protective gear, including a helmet, gloves, and boots.
When does it start?
Saturdays and Sundays from 9:00 a.m. to about 5:00 p.m. (depending on the manufacturer)
