It's a very good question F7. May I call you that? It doesn't seem to be a Honda thing as they encouraged me to test drive a CB1100 long before I bought one. I was recently lent a demonstrator NC750 while the CB was being serviced. As I recall, I might have had to agree to pay a hefty excess (deductible) in the event I damaged the bike, but that seems reasonable to me.
My guess is that it has something to do with US insurance laws or companies and the level of risk they'd wear if a demo bike were crashed. Frankly, though, I'd have thought they'd have worked it out by now.
