Since you can't test ride new motorcycles anyway, why can't you just order one online and have it delivered to your door?
I'd like a 2006 Kawasaki Ninja 650r in black, please.

You can't test ride motorcycles? Oh, because someone can't come with you, I guess... but couldn't they ride on the back? I never knew this.
I think they should be like Zappos.com: You order them, they show up at your front door, and if you ride them gently inside (lol), you can still return them for free.

I think it depends on the dealership. Also, I think it's less about not having anyone riding with you as it is about the test rider crashing or dropping the bike.

i asked the kawasaki dealer one time if they allowed test rides and the guy said that what they do is charge you for the bike, you take it for a ride and if it's good when you return it, they'll refund you.

So let me get this straight.
I go to the Kawasaki dealer...they charge Viv for the bike and then they refund her if I bring it back in good shape.
Sounds good to me.

Fine fine, so who wants to volunteer their credit card for my trip to the Ducati dealership? I'm lookin' to "test ride" a Monster.
