Would you buy a M50 with no test ride - Motorcycle-Journal Forums

I have found,what I think,is a very good deal on a new 08 Boulevard M50
for 5995.00 out the door.Tax,title etc...........
I have been looking for a month and reading reviews.
Including all the raves about the M50.
I am 54 and have not been on a bike since I sold my 76 Snortster in 1983
and in no way do I want another Harley.Thanks anyway.
The local dealer knows my lack of cycling saddle time and said I couldn't test ride it saying his insurance coverer wouldn't like it.
I said I understand and I really can't blame him.
I am in a small town and this dealer has been in business
for 35+years.
The father has sold to the son and I know him well.
In other words I do trust him about the quality of the bike.
I am really right on the edge of just saying DO IT and just take my time getting the riding skills back up to pace.
With a menopausal wife and a 14 year old daughter cycling
seems the program to peace and quiet.
Thanks
