What vloggers? What test drives?
Name names, give me a link, or several.

As a rant your post lacks information pertinent to what you're ranting about.

I'm more intrigued if you they go in and pretend they want to buy it, or if they go in and be like I'm Baron von Grumble and I have 100k youtube subscribers.

Also if they've test ridden your entire fleet of bikes and not bought anything do you not reckon they'd just told to sod off after a while?

Probably, I would imagine the smaller ones would just go around the local garages and try them out whereas BvG would flaunt his subs n shit, like he did with the S1000r and I think with his new euro one.

The euro one I would have thought would have been out of the press fleet. Or I could just be talking rubbish.

I think he said he bought the one from the euro trip as he got a good deal after the trip but probably a press/demo bike. He bought an S1000RR and a ducati 899. I think anybody that is in the habit of buying flashy bikes is likely to get a test ride on other flashy bikes. The KTM loan thing he won in some competition but it was obviously as a result of him having a large following.
