On yer bike, test ride - SV650.org

Hi,

I booked in for a test ride o the ZX6 at on yer bike A41 Bicester Road Westcott Bucks HP18 0JX, and they charge you £1000 if you crash the bike and only take this if you crash it, fair enough, but they cahrge you £25 as well but they are ever so nice to take this off the price of the bike if you buy it, otherwise say buy to ya £25.

Talk about rude, you test ride a bike because your not sure if you want that or another bike, you should have to pay for the privilage huh.

So I think I will find somewhere else.

Anyone know somewhere near to Milton keynes that have a ZX6?

Midlands superbikes in market harborough have a zx6 or 3.

If they charge 25quid to test ride a demonstrator that's a bit out of order. However if it is a used example that's fair enough.

Best to go to a dedicated kawasaki dealer

They charge £25 for a test ride at my local bike shop too. I suppose its to stop test pilots not have no intention of buying. It gets a bit expensive if you want to try a couple of different bikes though.

They'd better refund all your test rides if you ride, say, three things and then buy one.

Or find a better dealer. One refused to let me test ride unless I was definitely going to buy it afterwards (essentially insisting I just buy it, period).

The Aprillia dealer up in Glasgow refused to give me any test rides at all - they couldn't answer my question of 'how am I supposed to know whether I like it without riding it..?'

Needless to say, I didn't buy from them, and never will do in the future.

I keep getting emails and phonecalls from destination triumph, they are practically begging me to come ride their motorcycles.

All i gotta do is turn up with the correct kit and lisence!

Nice chaps

I have every intention of purchasing a bike, just not now, so I wanna test ride so when I do purchase one I know what I want.

Is that bad?
