I hope you find a shop that will let you ride one. My dealership "doesn't do test rides" (so they say) so I bought my CB1100 having only seen it online and sat on it. I had them deliver it to my office where I have a decent parking lot in which to get accustomed to the bike before taking it home, and from the moment I put it in gear I was in love. It rides like its on rails compared to the Shadow I traded in toward it. It's been deemed a permanent family member, compared to the Shadow that I was bored to tears with after 1000 miles (and traded in after 1500 miles on the odo).
