I use a standard handheld DVM with a 200mV (0.1mV resolution) range in conjunction with a simple 1A current source that I made myself. It's not calibrated to NIST standards, but is pretty close. Since I only use it for comparison purposes, it works fine.

You'll need to measure the motor temperature too, since the resistance increases with temperature.
