Felt like i had to pull teeth just for them to give me a ballpark interest rate. Still haven't received the full quote. Then they try to insinuate that i should buy a Suzuki because it would be "cheaper" which kinda rubbed me the wrong way.
P.S.. Is there ANY fucking dealer that will let you test ride one.. I mean, even if it was just in a parking lot. I can understand why not just with the nature of the bike and the people around here that purchase them but i don't want to dump X amount of dollars on something i might not like 100%. I looked on Yamaha's website for demos and none come close-ish to hampton roads..
I haven't found a dealer in our area that I enjoy going to. Feels like I'm getting bullshitted at both of them.
Test rides seem to be impossible on anything new locally as you found, unless you can find a demo day. I find this to be bullshit, as Harley or BMW will let you ride any of their bikes any day.
I'd also recommend buying used, you can find killer deals, you won't take a bath on a bike you may only have for a year, you can test ride, etc.
