Test Rides

[robby boy]

Lots of helpful info here thank you  . The dealer in question is about 75 miles away so not exactly a short hop for the round trip but I am still very interested in going down and showing some interest, getting them talking about the bike, see if I can sit on it for starters then take it from there. I can understand why test riding bikes is a bit of a trust thing for people, much easier to damage than a car even from just a simple drop.


If I were you I would phone the dealer and ask what their policy is on test rides, I had a 140 mile round trip when I bought my Sprint so was not going to travel that far and not get a run out on the bike, the dealer only asked for my contact details no disclaimer nada, and that was after getting a brand new street triple wrecked at a bike show.
