Default Test ride new model

I live in Spain.
Just a quick question.
Can you go into a dealer in USA and try whatever model you want?
I went into the local dealership and asked if I could test ride the new Lowrider S.
I am a HOG member at the same dealer.
No . I could not test ride that model. But they would be glad to trade in my old bike.
Buing without trying, I don’t think so !

Depends on the dealer, but you can't test a new Dyna because they stopped making them

I dont think he was refering to the Dyna LRS..... He just said LRS (Im assuming softtail.).....

Dealers have different reactions to test rides.... Alot are not big on test rides.... Maybe try around. The LRS is a popular bike, so I assume they see it as a seller and not interested in bothering to rack up miles on a perspective buyer. You want it, buy it, or the next guy will is probably their thinking.

I could test any bike at my local dealer but we don't have after-lunch siestas here like you do in Spain so, I dunno, you ain't got it to bad going on over there

Before I bought my low rider I test rode it twice at 2 different dealers. Both times sent out alone, 1st one gave me a route to ride but 2nd one told me to bring it back before the gas ran out. I rode it around for probably close to an hour testing it in different scenarios, in traffic, on highway, back roads etc. I know it's not a LRS but at the time the low rider had just came back out and was pretty high demand
