No way. Ever heard the phrase "drive it like a rental"?
Hell, damn, and crap NO. Car, bike, whatever.
But then again, most of us on here regard a motor vehicle as more than just an A-to-B appliance![]()
The only reason someone would want to rent a motorcycle would be to show off on it.
Bullshit. Plenty of people come to SoCal to ride but getting your bike here is kind of a pain in the ass if you don't live here so rentals make sense as we have some of the best roads in the country for riding. I've thought of renting the Ducati 848 for a day just to see what that bike is like to ride.
They rent Harleys here too but I have zero interest in those bikes.
I'd rent out my bike for a week, $16k in cash would be the rate.
40 pages of waivers would have to be signed...or just a transfer of ownership.![]()
I see them on craigslist around here all the time. I would definitely do it. It's not like these people are renting out their 1200GS or Monster or R6 or anything. It's usually dudes with 25 year old 250cc bikes, and they rent them for people to pass their M Endorsment test. The idea, I would imagine, is that these people already know how to ride. Problem is, you need to have a bike to take the driving test to get your license, but you need a license to drive a bike.
not herein az. once you get the permit you can ride.

My bike cost $900. If I could make $50 back by renting it to some dude for an hour so he can get his license, I would take that deal. Have him drive to the DMV, meet him there on the bike, let him ride around the cones, and make my money.
Edit: My bad, reread the OP. I wouldn't do a week-long rental. I've never seen that on CL; the "rent my bike to get your license" I see all the time.
Quick question: What is the cost of the MSF course?
