I would NOT do that, even if it was a good test a while ago, with today's fancy electronic, you don't want to unplug the battery on a modern car/motorcycle while it run. The battery help to keep the voltage stable and prevent it to spike.. it's not intent to run without a battery.

I learned this one the hard way, been a motorcycle guy for ever, when I saw the battery warning light up I tought it was a low voltage indicator and I went for a ride to 'recharge' the battery.. and got stuck when the battery died in the middle of nowhere 15 min later LOL..
