I've just read the last 7 pages of posts and picked up on any that talked about acquiring a bike for touring NZ.
What was unexpected was the mention of two firms (Cambridge Car hire and Colemens) as being good deals.
I have already arranged mine - buying a new DR650 from Holeshot but I wish i'd known earlier that Colemans will do a long term hire of a SV650 for $60 a day.. At $1800 it might be a lot less hassly than reselling the DR when I leave.
However the issue for my partner is that she is really only comfortable on her little DR200 and I can't find a hire firm that has one. A 650 is no good.
Colemans have got a DL250 with a low seat height so that would be OK. Problem - she flys into Ch Ch and doesn't want to ride from Ak.
Because we are doing Hakatarmea, danseys, and molesworth, it has to be dirt focussed.
Does anyone know of a Sth Island company that is hiring small bikes. all the ones on the Google page are 650s
