You are approaching it from the wrong perspective.
You want to test a lot of bikes that are not worthy. You're trying to find the fastest bike.
He's going to be finding the fastest bike that is willing to pay the most guaranteed $ and/or the highest bonus potential. He may well trade some time for a large(r) guaranteed base salary or for a smaller salary but huge bonus potential. The question becomes how much time and how do you quantify all the variables, like injury/injuries that go into that decision? Do you risk leaving guaranteed money on the table for a 50% higher bonus potential? Do you take the most guaranteed but maybe the lowest bonus potential? Do you go for the fastest bike for you and hope they can afford you (although that question should be answered before you bother to test it) and if not how much are you potentially giving up in base + bonus vs what you may win?
That took me about 4 minutes to figure out based on my triathlon budget/last few seasons spending/winnings for me. But then I've only won $475 over the last few seasons of triathlon and only have 2 races that I have the potential to get paid on this year's schedule.
Out of your list there are 4 I'd consider testing if I was most focused on the fastest bike for me. For him probably less based on your list & current market conditions.
