Is there anyone in the CT/MA/RI area who'd let me test ride their Duke 690?

This is probably a long-shot but... I currently have a Triumph Daytona 675 which likes to get me in trouble because it's a bit on the fast side... I'm looking for something a little more practical (read: not freakin' hunched over and actually able to carry stuff on the back) and... slower. :-P

I like the looks of the Duke 690 but would like to test ride. Are there any dealers (or individuals?) in the Connecticut / Massechusetts / Rhode Island area who'd let me do a test ride?

I'd let you play on my Daytona if you wanted to. :-P

Oh, this bike won't keep you out of trouble. It will keep you from going much over 100mph, but it might get you into MORE trouble. I start feeling like a hooligan the minute I swing a leg over it.

I'll gladly let you test ride mine. Take a look at the pics in the for sale section on this board. It'll cost you just over $7k. The cool thing is you can keep the bike when you're done!

I'm in Va btw.

Any Suzuki SV650 standard (now Gladius) will fit your bill.
