How many actually got to test ride your bike before buying it?

Nope. None. Ever.

When I bought my first motorcycle, the first tine I ever rode a motorcycle I took it for a test ride.
Second one, I rode on the back.
those after...no

I've watched folks ride bikes that I have bought, and I've test ridden bikes that I didn't buy, but I've bever test ridden a biek that I have bought.

With all that beig said, I wouldnt consider buying a bike without at least seeing it move under its own power

I was offered to test ride, but I wasn't comfortable with the idea since I just got out of the MSF course. The dude even volunteered to bring it to my place, which was great.

GSXR, yes. Buell, no. When I sold the GSXR, dude did not test ride it.

I have test driven a couple over the years but for the most part i don't even think about it. if they offer i may or may not.

if it's a new bike and I want to try it i'll find a demo ride somewhere.
