I've never had a problem with test rides (or test drives) here in the UK. Just bought a new 1200GSA and the dealer was happy for me to take their demonstrator out for an hour or two, also suggested I take the 800GSA out too so went out for another hour on that.
Cars have always been fine too...I seem to remember a dealer letting me have a car overnight in the past...
I wouldn't buy without a test ride...otherwise you're spending a lot of cash just based on what others say, and it can be a personal thing...
