I work part time in the summer as a skills test administrator for the safety council motorcycle training course in my state, just as a qualification of my experience.
Most of these dual sports would be ok for doing the test on. However, they also have some drawbacks to them. If you can't flat foot, you are at a disadvantage. Their high seat position also makes them very top heavy with a rider, so shifting your weight around can be a little more tricky for certain maneuvers. As previously stated off road knobby tires can make things a bit more tricky.
The best thing you can do was already mentioned. All of the tests are listed online. Look them up, and then practice them. The U-turn test, corner brake, "cone dodge" (low speed weave) and obstacle avoidance tests are the ones that catch most people out.
Some empty cans or other cone substitute and a parking lot are all you need.
