Looking to hire
My girlfriend and I are heading to Morocco around the 17th of Sept. We are looking to rent a bike or 2 if the price is right. We are not looking for some high end bike that will cost us $80USD a day. We are just looking for some good reliable bikes that will haul a small amount of gear for a 3 week trip. We would settle for one bike if it had racks for bags. I see some photos of older XR or XT bikes but no one seems to be offering this type of bike. No big BMW or pricy bike like that. Just solid.

I have looked into a couple of companies who offer smaller bike but we would then need 2 bikes the that is just out of our budget for the trip.

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I'm interesting in this as well. My GF will be traveling through Morocco September and October and I plan to visit her for 2 weeks in October. We'll be riding 2-up and need a bike big enough to handle us and our stuff, which I think will be a big 1200 GS.

We'll be meeting in Marrakech, any suggestions aside from Loc2Roues?

Thanks,
Eric

Buuurrt: Even older bikes cost a lot to import into Morocco, so the savings won't be great. I guess the hire companies will want to keep their fleet fairly new to reduce breakdowns and because most people will want fairly new bikes.

Eric: you could try Palm Road, Bienvenue à l'aventure Maroc
