Re: Dealership asking me to buy the motorcycle that I test-rode Have seen similar case with KTM.
When I first went in for a test-ride, the sales team said that there is no dedicated test-ride bike. They did offer a bike which was already billed to someone and was awaiting delivery in a day or two. I bluntly declined the test-ride. I would not like anyone to "test-ride" my purchased bike, and neither I would like to ride someone else's bike.
Asked the showroom to call me when they have a bike for test-ride.
Got a call after few days that there's a bike available for test-ride. However, when I landed in the showroom, I was told that they will bill this bike on my name as they have to unlock it for my test-ride. My simple question was - "What if I don't like the bike?"
Secondly, even if I do like the bike and I book it, it will then be available for testride for any other customer till I take the delivery on the completion of formalities.
Basically such practices made me loose lost trust in them and never got to test-ride the bike. I however do not hold any regrets for that as I soon bought myself a better bike.
