    Appreciate the input. He's looking for a sportbike. That stuff is pretty much what I came up with as well. Lame..

    Re: Does DK Still Rent Bikes?

    Too high liability insurance to rent out sportbikes, was the comment I heard when I spoke to DK about when they were folding up Colorado Sportbike Rentals.

    Re: Does DK Still Rent Bikes?

    The ST1300 or the FRJ1300 would be a good rental bike close enough to sport as your going to get nowadays in a rental. I have a friend that used to track his ST1300 and keep up just fine on people on R1's and the like (again most people can not ride worth shit on the street...nor should you in reality try to ride to the limits).

    My friend had to rent a HD V-Rod a few times for our East Coast trips...still he had a blast, and it was some good times *shrug*

    Looking like those are really the only options. I forwarded it to him to see what he wants to do.

    Thanks all!

    Since HDs are fairly available to rent, maybe call RMHD and see if they'll rent out a Buell?
    Do not put off living the life you dream of. Next year may never come. If we are always waiting for something to change...
    Retirement, the kids to leave home, the weather or the economy, that's not living. That's waiting!
    Waiting will only leaves us with unrealized dreams and empty wishes.

    Doubtful they have any Buell's left. The 1125R I rented a couple years ago was great.
