Traveling Rajasthan on bikes

I have planned to visit Jaipur at the end of December for 7 days, I'll go there with my friends. I need to clarify few points before starting my journey.
1)Can any one suggest me whether that place is suitable for visitors at that time?
2)Is that place suitable for friends traveling on bikes?
3)Can any body suggest me any guide for accommodations, road direction and various places to visit?
Your comments will be helpful for me.

Jaipur is fabulous in December, weather-wise. Dry, mild days, and not too hot. It would be great for biking only watch the traffic. It is basically flat and i think you would have a lot of fun biking around Jaipur. Rajasthan is quite popular with bike enthusiasts in this time of the year - we have had biking people here who have been a Rajasthan tour - you have to be keen I might add, but it is all doable because you can choose routes where there are not too many hills. You could also put your bikes on the train or bus for short-cuts to next destination. December and January are perfect months for this with not too much possibility of raining at this time of the year.
You can be your own guide, you know! Get some good maps, and a good travel guide book e.g. Lonely Planet, take a look and see where you want to go. You can easily do-it-yourself provided you can repair your own punctures. Although most places will have bike shops where they can do this for you, but you don't want to be stuck in the middle of nowhere with a puncture.

You mean motorbikes? Look at www.blazingtrailstours.com. They do motorbike tours around Rajasthan.
