motorbike rental needed in South-Africa

Hi there,

we are looking for a company or local who rents out motorbikes (off road). We only found expensive BMW rentals with a minimum of 700R. We don't need/want fancy bikes just old battered dirtbikes will be fine (around 600 cc).
We would like to rent three bikes for a period of three weeks (in November) so we are definitely looking for a cheaper rate. Preferable pick up in J'burg and return in Capetown. Otherwise pickup and return in Capetown will be our second choice.

Looking forward to your replies.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,

Roland

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
