I recently convinced my Dad to get rid of his R1150RT. He simply was not using it enough, nor for the sort of use it was designed for to warrant keeping it. I was actually pedalling the CBF500, then he surpirsed me by informing me that a new Ta was on order!!
Seems he just walked in, saw it, liked it, sat on it, liked it and bought, it. Current economic situation meant he got a good part-ex and extras thrown in, too!
Seems to be a pretty effective method!!

Basically, other than offering a few choices to narrow it down, that is something I have always advocated: a first hand test ride is worth a hundred posts of other people's opinion...
Plus window shopping, sitting on bikes and making broom-vroom noises when the sales guy isn't looking is all way more fun than reading internet pages!!
