Motorcycle Rental Vacations

As you plan your vacation; consider a motorcycle vacation. A select few know the very best vacations are done on a motorcycle.

Motorcycle touring is unique because the rider feels contact with the bike, both powerful and nimble at the same time, and experiences the sensation of gliding on the chosen route. Riders feel the forces of nature that they just can't get in any other method of travel. Without the cocoon of steel, rider and machine become one with the road and nature-a single unit. He or she has full control of the bike and experiences the sensations of the shade, sun, wind, the smells of the air, the temperature changes, and even the feel of the water in the air as you drive over a river or body of water. Changes in surroundings are sensed in a very personal way.

Additionally, motorcycle vacations, when done in a larger group have an added layer of camaraderie among the riders as they share a common experience, fun, and excitement. Life long friends are made on a shared bike tour.

The motorcycle you select depends on the length of time you will be riding and the kind of experience you are looking for. Sport touring rides will be edgier and done at a faster pace. Cruisers will dictate a more serene pace of travel. For a more sporting ride that is both fast and "flickable", choose a high performance bike like the Ducati Monster 696. For an more long distance and smoother ride, pick a sport tourer like the BMW R1200RT or the Honda ST1300 or, on the cruiser side, the Harley Road King. For those riding "2-up", choose a bike like the Honda GoldWing or the Harley Ultra Classic. These bikes will allow for long rides that glide over the imperfections of the highway.

Renting a motorcycle is a great option. You are able to try out a bike before buying, get an extra bike when needed, pick-up a bike if you are coming in from another area, ride if you have limited time to ride, and it is financially safer.
