LA guys, help me out. Motorcycle rental?
Ive been looking online and have found a few places. The only decent one ive found is on rental-motorcycle.com and AdMo tours i think they are called. Decent rate (160 a day) and i dont need an extra 3k or whatever for them to hold in case i damage the bike ( i think they require like 1k though).
Do you guys know of any other good rental places? Im looking to rent a BMW 1200RT for 4 days Nov1-Nov5. Ill be going up to yosemite, through napa valley, san fran, carmel, and then down Rt 1 back to LA and figured it would be a good bike to use, same weight as my Ninja 1000 and hopefully a little more comfortable. We have done 3 days trips up to Maine and back so it wont be our first long trip, ive mapped out so were not doing more than 400 miles a day and we can spend a few hours each day in each area, so it should be pretty enjoyable. Thanks guys |

Yeah. I would call $160/day the going rate, but not a decent rate.
WTF is it that rental places are all full of BMWs and Harley touring rigs, but almost no one ever rents something like a 250? One of the best tours of my life was in New Zealand many years ago, when I rented a Ninja 500 for $75/day.

Ive rented from EagleCycles in San Francisco before. Looks like they have an outfit in LA.
Think I rented a Piaggio Mp3 scooter for like 90 bucks a day. It was soooo worth it cruising that thing up Highway 1. |
