Loaners and test drives...
My dealer has and sells demo bikes all the time. Each time my ST-L has been in the shop, I am provided a loaner bike to use until mine is ready. I have had RSS, ST, and RT loaners. When I sometimes request a specific loaner (I really liked the RT Limited) they will inform me that they sold it. I have seen the demo models on their sales floor marked as a demo model for sale...and the price is a couple thousand less than the floor model bikes. These demo models are also used for their test drives when a prospective customer wants to try them out. All of the demo models I have seen are under the break in mileage and have been driven at least a little by newbie drivers...but the bikes DO have scrapes and scuffs (all minor) due to someone's carelessness. They are all still under warranty, however. May be a great way for someone to get into a new Spyder and save a couple thousand...but Caveat Emptor (let the.buyer beware).
