ok so im going to try to keep this one shorter than the last lol. When looking for a new sport bike, what is proper etiquette when looking I did a prelim look at some sport bikes at the kawasaki dealer and when I sat on the zx-10 the salesman popped out from behind his desk like he was on fire. He ran up to me and yelled at me to "watch my belt buckle!" funny thing was I wasnt wearing a belt. So I quickly got off the bike and when I asked about rideing the ninja he gave me a brochure and not so subtly showed me the door. Did I violate some unwritten rule about not test driving bikes before buying? I feel like before I spend 9k + On a new bike and gear I want to ride it ya know?
I don't know fill me in before I go to the Yamaha dealer. But the kawi dealership expierience was enough for me to decide not to get a ninja.

I've never experienced a problem with a salesman about sitting on the bikes. I wouldn't buy a bike without sitting on it. As far as test rides go, I don't know of any dealerships in my area that allow you to test ride. To me that's kind of frustrating, but then again I understand their predicament. I've asked a couple of salesman and they claim their insurance doesn't permit customers to test ride the bikes. They'll let you sit on them and start them up, but that's about it.
