I can imagine how far you would get going into a dealer and saying " I'm looking at buying a bike privately, but would like to test ride the same model from you to see what they go like".

Instead they simply lie to your face...

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trolling here. I'm asking because it makes little sense. I won't buy a bike I haven't ridden either, but the reality is that only older bikes need ridden to check for mechanical faults.

It's more to do with if someone says no test rides, I smell a rat. If I've got proof of Funds, I expect to take the bike for a Test Ride - make sure that particular bike rides well, is to my liking, doesn't have anything that doesn't sound/feel/look right etc.

If the bike is not 'as advertised', go get your money back.

The only rat here is probably the one festering up your arse.

The guy probably just doesn't fancy people seeing what top speed they can get out of first gear.

You really are obsessed with Homosexuality, you should go see a counselor about that.

If someone wants to sell to me, a test ride is required; there'd have to be a damn good reason to buy without one, and an even better reason to buy when one is not allowed.

You need to meet some homosexuals, you might be surprised how few of them have small rodents up there

If anything they'd be less likely due to the resulting penile inhospitably of that environment

I spent $12.5k on a bike I hadn't even seen! Took the owner at his word, gave him payment and he shipped it up from Chch. This was 2014 and it was a 2012 CBR1000rr. And...it was mint. Sold it a year later for $15.5k. Hahaha.

**Brett** · 21st February 2016, 22:27

No test rides. LOL. It's only a CBR1000rr at the end of the day. I had one...it was a brilliant bike...but hey let's not get silly about it. If a punter shows up with a wad of cash, I am sure he would change his mind. If someone would give him $16k for it then he would be mad not to take it.

And you redded me for that comment I made?
You truly are fucked in the head then.

Not a bike, but a car, and not price related, but the seller seems to be optimistic on how little it needs to get going. Ummm little body work? That looks like either primer or fire damage ... http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/spec...1020278142.htm
