"Yeah, we got an Anniversario in last week that we preordered for a customer. Gorgeous bike. It's the only one we got. You can come in and take a look at it, but you can't touch it or sit on it. We'll take a deposit if you want to order one, but we won't be stocking any V7's."
"Ah yeah, thanks, but I'm not sure I'm interested in ordering a bike that I haven't even sat on."
Click.
And that was that.
Sound familiar?
Funny, I ordered my 13 CB1100 before the dealer even knew they were coming to the US, and ordered my 14 DLX without seeing one in the flesh. Thank goodness they were great bikes and didn't give me any reason to regret my impetuousness.
