I had been on my P's (RE) for 18 months and they wouldn't let me test ride the 6R but that might have something to do with my age. Here in QLD if you have had your car licence for 3 years you can go straight to opens but its also classed as P's. I think you can only do it if you have your P's in R not RE. Good luck.

Nup. More connected with your driving record and as you said, age. They probably didn't think a young girly could handle it...find a different dealer I say.

I can test ride anything I want :)

It's the only Kawasaki dealer on the coast. He was gonna fully let me have a ride but he thought I was on my R licence but I was on my RE's. I told him I wouldn't want a go anyway because at stock height I can't touch the ground on one side and only tippie toes on the other side! Spose it would be different because I'm a little girl but it's not like he would say that to me because if he did I'd tell him to shove his bike up his arse.

Depends on the dealer I guess, if you leave a sizeable enough deposit before you test ride I am sure they would oblige.

Salesman arent known for their high standard of morals.

I know the shop you mean Quarkz. They are morons. Actually, I don't like any of the bike shops on the coast, but if you head north a bit to Gympie you'll find Motorcycle Country. That is where I got my bike from, and where I first saw the Z750. Droool....

I have bought a heap of stuff off them, and they are always good on prices, and quite negotiable, especially when you keep turning up...it is one of those places where they take the trouble to remember your name...as cheesy as that sounds, it makes a difference.
