Where to rent a (smaller) bike in Nicaragua or Costa Rica?
A friend and I would like to ride in Nicaragua for about 2 weeks this coming Christmas, but I'm having a hard time finding motorcycle rental places there. We could easily fly into Costa Rica instead, although we'd need a place that would allow their rental bikes to cross the border (which is often explicitly prohibited).
We both prefer smaller bikes. My ideal bike is a Honda NX4 Falcon and my friend likes 250s (e.g., KLX 250), but something like the Bajaj Pulsar would also work if those are available. In any case, neither of us is interested in the usual big BMWs or KTMs. Does anyone here have a rental outfit they can recommend in Nicaragua, or know of anyone with smaller bikes to rent in Costa Rica that we can ride to Nicaragua? The only place I've turned up in Managua by looking online is a place that rents a 200cc "farm bike." That might be OK if it's really the only option, but it seems to me that there might be something else available.

I've used Wild Rider in Costa Rica and can recommend them, good guys. They told me if I ever rented from them again they would let me cross the border, not sure if they will allow it the first time round.

Thanks for the info! Someone on ADV rider said essentially the same thing. Wild Rider is the only place I can find online, too, so it appears to be the only option at the moment. I'm surprised that there aren't more moto rental places down there.

I'm pretty sure the KTM and BMW dealerships also rent out their bikes. Just found this as well:

Thanks, Stef, but as I mentioned in the original post we're not really interested in BMWs or KTMs -- their smallest rental bikes are typically 650-700cc. We're looking for something in the 250-400cc range. (For me, even a smaller KTM would be uncomfortable because their seats are really tall and narrow.) Appreciate the reply, though!

We have motorcycle rentals in Nicaragua. Both the Yamaha AG 200 farm bikes and the small Yamaha YBR 125 G. cb160racer I replied to your ADV and replying here for other HUBB members that might be interested in coming to Nicaragua. The website with our information is NI.CA.MOTO Adventure: Home
