The guy who own's the Ducati I look after is coming to NZ for a few days at the end of the month and is bringing his girlfriend along with him. She currently rides a Triumph 675 Daytona. They are looking to hire a bike for a day, possibly two.

Can anyone suggest a reputable bike hire company in Auckland that will have something sporty, or at worst maybe a sports-tourer that she can hire? My guess is she'll be wanting something similar to her 675, so something light-ish and not too much over 100hp would be good.

Try the hire company in Cycletreads they have a few to choose from. Not heard anything bad about them.

You could try the bike hire section of the Wiki, but I think they may not be very suitable:

If you find someone else doing hiring, could you add a wiki entry, or post back here and I'll add it?

EDIT: These people talk about doing hiring in Auckland:

Try BADCAT on this site, he does motorcycle hire, but if he does not have what they want, he might know someone!

Drury Performance Center, down this way Hire bikes. I don't know if it is just tourers, but they sometimes have a sports bike alongside the harleys out front.

Cheers guys. Boman - Drury is a bit of a mission to get a bike, they'll be staying on the North Shore so that'd mean a round trip of nearly 2hrs just to get a bike and then start heading North (which I assume the are).
