It absolutely depends on the dealer if they know you and how they do business.
Fortunately we have three dealers in the Western NY, Buffalo area. One is close to my home that I have bought a couple of bikes from prior. They know me, so they will let me test ride.
I was lucky to get mine. I had an opportunity to buy from my closest dealer. I held off for a week because I wasn't ready at the time and lost the opportunity. It sold within days. So I called around, found one and bought it quickly. That dealer did let me test ride before purchasing or putting any money down.
Considering low supply, high demand, the dealer sold the Standard model to me for $600 off list, $9,400 + NY tax, title, freight, set up, $10,600 OTD. IMO a good deal and just to find one in my area.
