My dealer allowed me a test ride before purchase but only because I was known by them to be an experienced rider. One Honda dealer in my area allowed a test ride to a young man. He collided with a car while exiting their lot. Ask yourself if you would allow a perfect stranger to test ride your bike even though they had a motorcycle endorsement. I have allowed test rides on bikes that I have sold in the past but only after talking with the buyer and getting a feel for their level of experience.

Triumph, Harley and BMW dealers allow test rides. Japanese brand dealers rarely do.
