I've hired bikes in Ireland a couple of times now, but the only reasonable prices I've found have been from Belfast Honda, which obviously limits the brand to you know who. Through them I can get the likes of a ST1300 for GBP115 per day for short rentals. 

However, if I want something interesting (this is speaking as a Harley rider) then the prices rapidly escalates, with GBP200 per day being the lowest figure I've found for Harley, BMW, etc.

Just wondered if anyone has any contacts for an interesting stead at lower prices over there?

Someone on another forum quickly pointed me at: http://www.belfastharleydavidson.com/pages/rentals/rentals.htm

All I can say is that sI was in Belfast two years ago when the HD dealer had a closing down sale supposedly because business was so bad! Obviously a new one has opened since then. I might add I'm a HOG member and the first place I looked for a rental was through them, but nothing came up in Ireland

'Twas me John!! And I'm not stalking you! Hope you have success and get what you want at a reasonable rate.
