Hello Fellow Barfers,

I need some help finding a shop that rents out sport bikes in San Jose (for a day or two). I'm looking for yamahas, triumphs, suzukis, or perhaps hondas... your help is greatly appreciated!

-S
 
I highly doubt you'll find a shop that rents them for street use, if that's what you're looking for. I know there's one or two that will rent one for track use only though. I can't remember the names at this minute but I'll post up when I do.
 
Last time I stopped by MotoGio in san jose (about 5-6 months ago)...I was told that they rent bikes for people who want to do track days or to just test out a model. Im not sure about the selection or cost...but you should call them.

That's the place! I had a buddy that rented R6's from them for track days. I hear those guys are pretty cool. :thumbup
 
Is it for track or just street?
Some places require heavy insurance and 3-4 years of riding (M1) experience, etc.

These guys rent for street in Southern CA. ("South Bay" is near LA??)

Or try going via here.

G'luck and let us know how it goes.

:teeth

I know you can rent a Ducati at Ace Motorsports up in Concord, but I don't know the cost or if there's a minimum length of time they want you to have had your M1 endorsement. I also don't know if they have bikes other than Ducatis for rent. You can call them at 925-969-7818.

Or you can just visit their web site for a list of bikes and the prices per day: http://acesportbikerentals.com/

I see all four Japanese brands listed.
 
Thanks for the help! I've been looking online, but i seem to find cruisers/touring bikes... I'm looking to rent for street use, but i guess that's not so common?
 
I know dubbelju in SF rents an SV650. Not really a sport bike but getting closer.

Some guy from Chicago posted on here a couple of months ago, he rented a Ducati from Ace, rode for the week with a couple of BARFers on local roads, so I'm sure they at least rent Ducatis.
You might want to try Googling "sportbike rentals, Bay Area, ca" I got a bunch of listings.

i would say it's not a bad idea to rent one of these bikes for a weekend to test it out before you buy it.

Nope, didn't miss your post. However, the OP appeared to, since she posted this:

Since she didn't appear to have followed the link you provided, I just figured I'd repeat myself! :laughing
