Triumph is one of the rare exceptions that allows test rides. Maybe you should
see if they have a demo model.

I don't get this "allow test rides" thing, everywhere I've been lets me test ride except Ducati. But if they have a used one they'll let you take it. Funny thing, I wanted to test-ride a 996 with about 900 miles on it, being sold on consignment. I asked for a test ride, they had to call the owner first. He wanted to drive along behind me. I told em to F-off and bought a bike in Bellevue instead. -- Greg Sumner Seattle WA '03 CBR 600RR<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Speed Four?

I got a comment for you. Buy a Speed Triple used for $4500 locally and call it a day. The insurance is the same if not cheaper and the triple is what Triumph is all about, unlike any other. While the 600 is another whiny 600 minus the top end rush that comes from having actual bodywork.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Speed Four?

Things are different in your neck of the woods, way different...in a good way. >He wanted to drive along behind me. I told em to F-off and bought a >bike in Bellevue instead. Look at it from the owners perspective. Would you want a bike you're trying to sell joy ridden by every squid boy in town? Dry clutches can only withstand so much abuse ya know.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Speed Four?

All dealers in my neck off the woods will let you test ride anything you want ... IF ... you leave the asking price as a deposite before you go. You break it ... You bought it.
