Over the past 4 years I've only test ridden one bike from a dealer (BMW) & had to sign my life away for the priviledge
I read a recent complaint in the bike media from a bloke who wanted to test ride a Suzuki & was told "We don't have test bikes because people buy our bikes on spec "
Anyway this dude goes & test rides a Triumph because he could. He was impressed & bought it because there was "nothing to compare it to "
Same thing happened to me about 12 years ago. I wanted to test ride a Suzuki Gixxer 1100 & no ride for me then either. I then went to City Yamaha. Sure, you can test ride that VMAX, go for your life son. I came back & wrote a deposit cheque & never regretted it for a second .
Can you test ride other makes now or what
