You shouldn't need to hire them.

If you are a prospective buyer go out for a few test rides

No one can expect you to shell out 7-9k without a test ride

You can hire bikes its around £100 a day, discount for a week. But if you are considering buying then its just a case of getting test rides. After whacking down the credit card number for insurance/damage.
