ongchart Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I plan to bring groups of 8-10 foreign bikers to do bike trips around Kanchanaburi and even up north east along the Mekong. Any information anyone may have regarding businesses which specialize in big bike rentals will be much appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YipYipYa123 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 The rental shops in bkk usually have kawasaki 650's Those are plenty fast to rent to tourists I would say Do they really need litre bikes to tour kanchanaburi? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ongchart Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 This was a request sent by my Aussie partner. Anyway it seems anything above 800cc is hard to come by. Do you have any good recommendation of reputable rental companies? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YipYipYa123 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 theres only 3 shops in bangkok www.bmr-bikes.com ,www.bangkokbikerentals.com and www.siamwheels.com i know the owners of two of them and they regularly have had customers crash everything including 125cc scooters because many people from countries with real police will underestimate the unpredicability of thai roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DiNiro Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 In Pattaya, the Ducati dealer and D-Zone Riding Gear shop will rent Ducatis. I see some big bikes for rent at Beach Road Sois 13/2, 13/3, 13/4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DiNiro Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Just be careful with the beach road rentals and document every nick and scratch. Then chain up the bike at night with your own lock as there are reports of the rental shop staff stealing the bikes (since they have spare keys and know where you are parking.) It's reported these rental shops have the same backing as the jet ski rental thugs so be very careful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daewoo Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 Ongchart, There is another forum for motorbikes in Thailand that will have a lot better information... I am sure you will find it quickly through google, and it has a lot of pre-prepared information and an active forum... The three rental places in BKK listed above will have Versys 650s and ER6N/ER6F (aka 650 Ninja) for rent... those bikes are available in Australia, so your team can test ride them to check they are satisfactory... I live in Australia and ride a litre bike... a 650 Versys is perfect for touring Thailand... Anything else is going to be a 'grey import' probably without registration, probably from a less professional rental place, and difficult to find in BKK - most likely need to go to Pattaya... One of the BKK rental places listed used to have an old 650 honda, not sure if they still do... The bigger bikes are usually old as well... would you rent a car that has been a rental for 15 years??? As an aside, the best riding is in the North, out of Chiang Mai, with more rental options as well... Hope that helps, Cheers, Daewoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ongchart Posted April 20, 2013 Author Share Posted April 20, 2013 (edited) Thanks Daewoo! Yes I agree up North has a lot better riding routes, with a good support base in CM. Edited April 20, 2013 by ongchart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
