If I am going to have a look at a bike I would always take the asking price in cash, my license and insurance cover letter. I would not feel upset being asked for cash before having a test ride. So do those things and you will be fine. Another thing I have always done is to have the bike outside on the day they are due to come and have a look. This way anyone having a look cannot see the bike where it is usually kept and assess security etc. This gives some protection against people looking the bike over to come back and nick it later.
