Rent your Vegas bike?

Hey everyone. I'm going to Vegas (used to live there) and would like to find a proper motorcycle to use while out there. I'm going to be there April 26th through the 30th. I'd like to find a litre bike for sure, would love a BMW, but KTM, BUELL ok too. Actually consider pretty much anything, but would love a bike that I can take into the desert for a little spin as well as ride the roads. Would gladly repay the favor if you ever visit Chicago, or open to monetary compensation too.

Please get back to me

Andrew

If you can't find anyone here, note that Las Vegas BMW rents bikes as well. I rented an R1200GS there back in September. Not the cheapest option, but thought I'd point it out.

Ok, so I see that I'm not getting any hits yet. Is there anyone in Vegas at all with a motorcycle I could use for a bit? I just rode a friends KLR650 and enjoyed it quite a bit, so maybe I can find someone with a KLR? I'm not going to go nuts with the mileage out there, just need to get around and get out of Vegas proper for a ride or two, you know?

MotoTrends

Hi, I rented a Harley (not my first choice) from Royce at Mototrends, just off Sahara. Very nice guys.

Hope it helps, his prices are very reasonable.
