south africa bike rentals
 

Hi
Anyone ever have any experience with dualsport adventure and rental or motorbikehire, owned by Craig Marshall in Cape Town, SA? They are quoting pretty good long-term (2 month) rental rates for XT660s but want to confirm they are solid and reputable before I send deposit sight unseen.

Regards,

private vs. corporate
 

Be sure to check on the insurance....a private hire is sometimes not necessarily legal, especially it could void the insurance. We rented (BMWs)from a group called MotoBerlin in South Africa....picked up in Joburg and returned them in Capetown....very painless...

You could ask at this forum of South African bikers:
Wild Dog Adventure Riding - Index

Not an answer but another question. All tours in South Africa appear to be aimed at big, expensive bikes and big riders.
Does anyone know of tours suitable for shorter riders (but not Harleys).
Alternatively, and better still, can you rent smaller bikes, perhaps Kawasaki KLX 250 etc.

You could try alficox.co.za
He has KTM bikes. Just send him an email. Maybe there is something for you :innocent:

Otherwise there is BMW MOTORRAD in Pretoria & Cape Town. Maybe they offer the 650cc bike with lowered seat & suspension.

Good luck!

I've used them and they were great. Priced better than most, and we hired 3 bikes and had a great time.

Craig was also very helpful with suggestions on routes, accomodation etc etc.
