The kdx is the best bike to hire out but the price seems steep, even compared to the old xr for $1000 a day you mentioned:shifty:

The KDX has got to be a better compromise between reliability affordibility and performance. I wouldnt bother getting out of bed for an XR.

"Oh, here we go again". Justification time.

Shit you are quick as I only put that on our web the previous night. But hey no worries.
This seems to be the going rate and its ideal for when your bro comes from overseas and wants to go for a fang with you for the day.
Hiring would actually be cheaper than buying a bike if you were just the occasional user (say 6 times per annum). No up front cost. no maintenance. no insurance, don't need to buy a trailer, no depreciation etc etc.

Food for thought?
Heres a comparison for you tho.www.baylysbeach.co.nz/quadbikehire.htm

Totally agree plus im sure some of us could do well more than that in damage in one day to bike let alone the rest of the costs...........250 is cheap for a whole day and you will be knackered after a whole days riding

I hired a DRZ 250 from the Columb boy's rental outfit in Queenstown a couple of years ago. Pretty sure it was $280 for the afternoon only. It was a guided ride though, so paying for that as well. I don't regret spending the money, I had such a blast that day I knew I just had to get myself another dirt bike.

I have an envelope on my desk crammed full of receipts from spending on one years riding. Too scared to add it all up to find out what it all really costs!
