That's not ideal, but it sounds like there isn't another option and that would be enough to get at least a feel for the bike. If the regs regarding "used" bikes are that tight I can understand why there's no test riding. I wouldn't buy one here (US) without a ride, and like some others have posted, the better shops I've been to are pretty insistent on them. The law seems a little narrow minded, any idea why it's written/interpreted that way?
