Very true.

I've found that if you use it once a month or less, renting may be best. Once very 2-3 months or less, renting IS best.

No storage, maintenance, tag, insurance, cleaning, tires, ageing/depreciation, etc.

All I know is that when I pick it up, it better start, and when I return it, it needs a full tank of fuel (as it was when I picked it up).

MOST rentals are late models with low mileage, and very well serviced. Most likely JUST serviced prior to me picking it up.

Only negative I know is you can't "Personalize" it. BUT is that REALLY a negative, considering the monies saved???

I've rented motorcycles at a rate of 3-4 times a year when I'm in the mood to experience another bike,and I'm NOT talkin' about a demonstration ride of 1-10 miles, I'm talkin' about and average of 300-400 mile a day trial, such as the 2,500 miles on that Sportster rental we had for our vacation that included the GA. Rally. All three of us got a few hundred miles on that one rental. And every time I get a different model, color, and accessories, to fit my mood of the day.

I've experienced more brands, models, and accessories than most anyone I know.

Though I usually rent Harley's, Hondas, BMW, Triumph, and M.G. are always available, with others available at times).
