[QUOTE="palerider, post: 1243487, member: 3572"] I agree that test rides are mostly useless, but only for positives, but at my advanced age, I do find test rides useful to check for negatives, things that over time I have learned that for me are deal-breakers: Is it too buzzy? Are the basic ergos too hard on my back? Does the clutch action torture my arthritic thumb? Are the brakes good enough to save me from myself? What's the buffeting like behind the windscreen? Can I read and comprehend the instrumentation? Is there enough room for my pillion? Are the bags easy to use? Is the centerstand usable? Can I get to the battery? Are the rear-view mirrors usable (or cheaply fixable)? [/QUOTE]
