We have families to feed. It's a complete waste of our time.

If the OP intends on buying something, a lower model bike maybe or even a nice handlebar, then yeah, go for it. They Ford dealership let me drive a Focus ST when I bought my Focus SE. If the OP has no intention of buying anything then it isn't right. He's wasting the shop owner's time. It isn't an amusement park.
