One of our taller rental motorcycles but very popular with its powerful 85bhp twin cylinder engine giving a lovely throaty roar as you take on New Zealand’s roads.  The large capacity fuel tank holds enough to ride from one side of the South Island to the other (Christchurch to Hokitika) plus you can carry enough luggage for the entire tour as you go, all thanks to the BMW Vario side cases and top box.

The BMW F850GSA is a relative lightweight motorbike.  The claimed dry weight is listed at 185 kg or 407 lbs, while its real-life weight is around 205kg, this might sound on the heavy side but the F800GS feels and handles far lighter than it actually is.  Standard seat height is 34.6 inches, making it one of the tallest hire motorcycles on our fleet.

HONDA Africa Twin CRF1000, fully automatic gearshift with manual override – what a beast!  I’m seriously thinking about trading in my personal V-Strom 650 for one of these, the gear changes are incredibly smooth and I just love the paddles on the handle bar for manually changes, heaps of fun and a true mile eater.  And all those modes to play with, I’m in heaven…

Confucius might have said “A motorcycle on the road is worth two in the shed” – clever bloke that.

BMW G650GS

Comfortable suspension, ample ground clearance and a remarkably low seat-height help make the BMW G650GS a more than capable middle-weight adventure bike. Off-road, the new Sachs suspension and 19-inch front wheel soak up rocks while on road it feels deceptively light and balanced, and almost as comfortable as its bigger brother, the R1200GS.  We also have lowered suspensions options bringing the seat height down to a very manageable 77cm.

This is a solid, no frills bike, fun to ride, lightweight, maneuverable but with enough power to put a smile on your face, the G650GS’s single-cylinder lump pulls from virtually no rpm. Off-road, in a low gear, it can be barely turning faster than tick-over and a snap of the throttle will still pull you up hills. On road it offers a good, linear power curve and 60Nm or torque to keep you rolling. An ideal bike if you want to get off the beaten track for a while but still have plenty in reserve to overtake those pesky campervans.
