[QUOTE="JR'SFJR, post: 772788, member: 7256"] I won't, but some people do. I don't want a busted up bike or legal problems. I recently sold a BMW and the buyer wanted to ride. I just said I have a nice retirement and for what the bike is worth, it can sit in the garage before I do that. Most cycle shops won't let you test ride. I was being honest about the bike's condition, he knew BMW's, and purchased it anyway. Also, I drove the bike to the tag office and went in with the purchaser to sign it over, so it's all legal. I purchased my FJR a little over 3 yrs. ago, 2 months old, with 700 miles on it. I showed up to look at the bike on my BMW and riding gear. He offered me the keys almost immediately for a test ride, without asking, which surprised me. I had already ridden a friends 06 FJR, so a test ride wasn't a big deal. I asked him later why he let me ride. He said I looked like an experienced rider with the BMW and riding gear. [/QUOTE]
