I'll be test riding an MV Agusta from this dealer in Richmond (AFAIK the only one in the M25): https://goo.gl/maps/YDYZApbHCMw

I'm not sure how long I'll have but I'd guess about an hour.

I'm not too familiar with the area; can anyone recommend a good itinerary? Hopefully from Richmond it should be easy to do some city traffic, to see how the bike handles filtering, but also a stretch at slightly higher speed (the A3 maybe?).

Thanks!

PS Test riding from Metropolis in Vauxhall sucks, because most of the areas around there have 20 mph limits, and the hour they give you is not enough time to go to a motorway and back.

Aside: unless they've got people queued up for test rides, dafuq do they care how long you're out for?

That's an excellent question!

Their bikes and servicing are hideously expensive, but if you were buying new I don't see there being an issue, assuming they don't add a zero on by accident Whistle
