Renting Bikes in Goa

lonelyaztec · Jan 20th, 2005, 11:21

Ya, when i went to Goa, i request the hotel boys to help me get a bike. It was way back in Nov 1999.

I got a kinetic honda for a rental of Rs. 150 per day. I bargained and got the bike for a week for about 125 per day. Also, i got 2 litres of petrol along with the bike as compliments.

The hotel people, boys, or the receptionist will be able to help you for sure.

Not many of that sort of bike about Marcus, up to 180 seems to be the standard, maybe a tax/insurance thing, I don't know.
I also wanted something bigger but the little 180 was more than adaquate for the conditions - you could always go down the unreliable Enfield route

hi
well the reason why pulsar 150/180 , cbz 150 etc are available a lot is that they r very reliable (w.r.t enfiled)
go for the pulsar 180 ( n not 150).. the extra 30cc will help u in goa's traffic
n these r more than enuf for indian roads. u wont feel the need for more horses under the hood on these bikes on indian roads
