I dont know how many places will let you test ride but,Motorsports of Tampa on Florida AVE,an Art's Kawisaki in ZypherHills are the only 2 i can think of.

kawasaki of st. pete on 34th street. i ride with one of the mechanics there and my cousin got a great deal on his 10r. i got a good deal from team savage, but i haven't heard too many things about them one way or another. i haven't been back since my bike's defect free and i do all my own maintenance.

here's a link to local dealers:

EDIT- and like said above, i don't know who will let you actually test their bikes.

I dont think any dealer is going to let you test ride a bike...

Unless they had some kind of huge deposit but even then... Once you put miles on the bike it isnt new anymore...

motorsports said they let you test ride cruisers but not sport bikes.

There are certain times Kawasaki will let you test ride the sport bikes. Like I know they were doing it at bike week. You had to show proof of a motorcycle endorsement and have a helmet. I don't know when the next event is but I know they also do it at Biketoberfest. If you go to the website they might have a list of events that you can test ride at. I bought My four Wheeler at Team Savage/Cycle Springs in the countryside area. They were great to me. I spoke with a guy named Jimmy. Awesome guy to work with he really knows everything about these bikes and he should hook you up with a good deal...

Well who has a ZX12R I can ride? I will come to you. I just want to sit on it and roll down the street and back.. I dont even want to get on it. I am just looking to see if I am going to be comfortable.

look in cycletrader and go "buy" a used one. They will let you test ride it for sure, then say you gotta think about it. Just remember, you break it you buy it.
