Renting a motorcycle has it's pro's and it's con's.

Main Pro's -

1- You have insurance and they deal with it if it goe's wrong.
2 - Nice new machine to ride on.

Main Con's -

1- No riding experience on the rented bike.
2- Maybe very expensive.
3- You have to be very careful not to damage the bike.

Their will be other pro's and con's pointed out by others i am sure.

Other than that it sound's like a awesome trip Thumbs Up

Good Luck

Matt

One thing to make sure of is that the hire company are OK with you taking the bike out of the country. Some (probably the majority) won't let you.

Rental is going to get very expensive very fast. An absolute minimum of £55 a day.

A lot of the Aussies/Kiwis etc.. that i've met when on tour actually just buy a bike in the uk then sell it when they return before getting their flight home.

For just two weeks it's probably not worth the hassle for you, but it's another option if you can find a suitable bike and insurance.
