    Five Star Yamaha (Hammie Hill) and Mack 1 (Midland) should may let you test ride. Just be prepared to sign a rather large insurance waiver for some places - used to be an extra 1K on top of the normal excess 2k at some places...

    Nope. You have to sign a form (in some instances) to say that if you bend it you spend for it. No one is going to charge you for a test ride.

    North City Motorcycles was really good when I went. Just had to fill out and sign a form and one of their shop guys came out with me.
    Feels good man.

    As Aphex said... Front wheel lift

    My advice: Be very careful.

    The R1 will beat your Ninja 250's top speed without changing out of first gear.

    Sweet I had no idea you could test ride on R learners. Should I take a shadow for the occasion or do the shop guys tag along with you?
