[QUOTE="Warpdrv, post: 1223784, member: 941"] I'd be curious as to what SkooterG has to say about what a demo bike actually sees as far as "test rides" actually consist of... If in fact that was the case that it was a Yamaha Truck demo bike.... I've never had the opportunity to get in on one of those demo days when the truck comes around - but if my memory serves correct, don't the rides all go with Yamaha Truck guys fore and aft of the groups on the test rides ?!?!? I can't imagine that they get a whole lot of leeway to tear those bikes up much.... Personally I'm a zero miles, new machine guy - but thats just me. My 05 and now 15 saw redline plenty of times during the so called "Break In Period" - doesn't bother me a bit and its not going to hurt the machine.... If the dealer offered up a 4 year Y.E.S. warranty on top of the discounted demo bike, and your sure that the dealer has actually done the first 600 miles service work, I'd think that it would be worth the extra deep discount.... Any dealer could "say" they did the work, but truth be told I don't trust dealers much - they are in business to make money and saving anywhere they can, can also mean don't waste shop time if you can get away with it.... Good luck on your choice... Remember - 2013 model has a 80mph cruise limit.... where the 14's don't whether that makes a difference to you... [/QUOTE]
