[QUOTE="red2kcbr, post: 49215, member: 318"] At the dealer where I do business, I can ride the new bikes. If they've serviced it, I can ride it. But I agree about a test ride not really making much difference in my decision process. I've already done the research. I have read all the tests. I already know what I want. It's just a matter of hammering out a deal. What, a test ride is going to sway my decision? Not likely. Motorcyclist, Sport Rider, and Cycle World have all tested the FJR. When the reporting is objective, and I'll know when it is and when it isn't, I've never been disappointed on any bike choice I've made after doing the research. When I bought a new '97 YZF600R, based on magazine reviews, I was totally pleased. Of course, it was the 600 bike of the year. When I bought a '00 CBR929RR, based on magazine reviews, again, totally pleased. And yeah, it was the liter-bike of the year. And now, on the '05 FJR, I'm totally pleased with this bike. I know I'm preaching to the choir here when I say this bike totally fucking rocks. OK, maybe I wouldn't say that to the choir, but you know what I mean. [/QUOTE]
