Don't be shocked
I'm an actual rider and fact is it's a sweet bike that dealers won't be willing to compromise on for awhile. So, you read reviews and learn all you can about the bike. I bought the bike 2 months ago for April delivery - and you have to figure should you flat out hate it how much could you really lose - I don't think much. I agree a test ride is best - whenever I buy a car I rent the one I'm interested in for a week and beat the hell out of it - you just don't get the same options with a cycle. I think it will prove to be a great bike - I'll keep you posted!
