Advice on Auckland Tourism

Can I get some advice on what I can do in Auckland for a week? I am planning on going there from Sydney in March. Also, how easy is it to rent a sportsbike? Any info would be great, thanks

Plenty of websites covering the Auckland area showing you cool things to do but if you hire a bike, make sure that you do the Coromandel Loop which is only a couple of hours from Auckland. It must be one of the World's great rides. I'll be on it tonight!

Lots of bike hire companies with websites ex-Auckland with sports bikes as well as sports tourers - a simple search will throw them up.

Have a great time.

I should have an '06 Triumph Sprint on the fleet at AMPS by then. PM me for details or email rentals@amps.co.nz.

What? Without going 100km due south on certain backroad?

If it's as bad as all the Dork ... I mean Aucklanders on here make out, you'll probably spend the week sitting in traffic
