Honda Motorcycle Test Ride in Zurich

As Switzerland’s largest Honda dealer, Honda Motorrad Zürich in Volketswil keeps practically every current model available as a demo bike – from the CB650R E-Clutch and the NT1100 DCT to the Africa Twin CRF1100.

A motorcycle test ride is the only way to find out whether a machine suits you. Feel how smoothly the DCT gearbox shifts, listen to a CB650R E-Clutch or find out how a Honda adventure model handles a long stretch of road – out on the road, not in the showroom.

We agree a date with you, prepare the model you want and hand it over at our Volketswil showroom. Bring a valid driving licence for the category concerned – we have to see it before you set off.

Planning to stay out longer than a test ride? Then a Honda motorcycle rental in Zurich is the better choice – by the day, the weekend or the week.

Test ride or longer use – which one suits you?

A test ride on a motorbike takes 15 to 25 minutes and is aimed at prospective buyers: you get to know a model out on the road. The handling contribution is credited in full when a purchase contract is signed within six months.

Would you like to ride a motorcycle for longer – for a day, a weekend, a week or as a replacement vehicle? Then the way to go is motorcycle rental, rental conditions and daily rates in Zurich. That is also where you find the vehicles currently available.

A valid driving licence or learner’s permit for the appropriate category has to be presented in both cases.

Need the machine for longer than a test ride?

The Honda rental fleet covers 60 models – by the hour, the day, a weekend or a full week, fully insured.

What a test ride costs – and how you get the money back

As Switzerland’s largest Honda dealer, Honda Motorrad Zürich keeps practically every model available as a demo bike – a unique opportunity to ride the motorcycle you want before you buy it.

Handling contribution for test rides – credited in full towards your motorcycle purchase

For every test ride we charge a handling contribution. If you then buy a motorcycle from us, the full amount is credited 100 % towards the purchase – when a purchase contract is signed within the next six months.

Why a handling contribution?

  • Wear and depreciation of the vehicle
  • High fuel prices
  • Additional kilometres on the vehicle
  • Effort for preparation and administration
  • The handling contribution does not cover the actual costs
  • The focus is on customers interested in buying – a test ride is not a replacement vehicle
  • Honda Motorrad Zürich offers practically the entire Honda range as added value
  • A test ride without a subsequent purchase causes costs that the remaining customers would otherwise have to bear

Motorcycles up to 125 cc:

CHF 20.00

Motorcycles < 1100 cc:

CHF 40.00

Gold Wing & Fireblade:

CHF 60.00

Helmet rental:

CHF 10.00

A test ride without a purchase is effectively a short rental. If you already know that you want a machine for a full day or longer, book it as a motorcycle rental instead – that is what the rental fleet is there for.
