Sports bike rental in Los Angeles?

Grizwold · #1 10-09-2006, 03:54 PM

I have just learned to ride. Passed a Beginners Course which waived the riding test in CA, so now I just go and take the written test at DMV and I get class M license. So I have not rode many bikes at all. I would still like to practice riding a lot more before considering which bike I would like to be my first, but I prefer the crotch rocket style. I am looking for a place near Los Angeles that rents sports bikes from 500~750cc. I have searched online for such places but the only places I've found mostly have cruisers and standard bikes. Any suggestions for someone looking to practice riding on a few different sports bikes before buying?

I think that people would be nervous to rent sport bikes out due to how dangerous they are. The insurance companies for places that rent bikes probably dont want to deal with it either. I could be wrong though.

Yes, insurance is likely the problem. I've heard young people (I'm 21) who own sportsbikes (especially newer ones) have to pay incredibly high insurance. I think I'm probably busted on this one.

First: If you call a sportbike a crotch rocket, you're probably not ready for one.

Second: there's a sportbike rental place in huntington beach.
