They do.

My Ride Like A Pro West Coast program has a small fleet of used Kawasaki Police Bikes that riders can take the course on. Nothing fancy, just a stripped down KZ1000. I got them at the suggestion of quite a few CVO owners. Seems like they were more inclined to learn the techniques when they didn't have to worry about dropping their own bike. Some folks want to take the course on their own bike, and I can appreciate it. But I have found that for a lot of riders it's easier to learn really lean a bike over and risk dropping it when it's not yours.

And since I'm close to the aiport, I developed my own "fly-n-ride" program. Riders come in before class, I pick them up, they take the course on a KZP, and I drop them back at the airport for a return flight. It saves them from having to get a hotel, rent a car and all that. I get a lot of riders from Northern California, Arizona, Colorado, Washington, Oregon, all the states that are within a couple hours flight time from Los Angeles.

Sounds like a great program.  I wish all the RLAP programs had the same format.  I'll check out your website.  Thanks!
