I test rode the last used bike I bought, and have allowed test rides on a bunch of machines I have sold.

Agree with the gut feel approach like gizmofixer, above.

I've bought new bikes without a test ride and been happy. The one time I did that with a used bike, I got burned. I won't be buying anybody's used bike without a test ride again.
