Default Test rides for used bikes?

Morning all!

I currently have my 2006 Boulevard S40 up for sale (anyone wanna buy it?) and have picked out two used rides that I am tossing up and down for purchase. Unfortunately no purchase can be made until this one sells.

Would you let someone test ride your motorcycle prior to purchase? My initial feeling is no, if a dealship won't let you why should I? Plus all the issues of dropping, damaging the motorcycle, etc being under my name. I wanted your thoughts on this because this is the first time I've sold a motorcycle.

Thanks!
