I highly recommend renting a motorcycle from Jonathan! Great communication, fantastic motorbikes and professional service. Despite my not so extensive experience, Jonathan trusted me and took care of my safety by lowering the seat on the BMW for me, which made a huge difference! I spent an amazing week exploring Melbourne and the surrounding areas on the BMW G310R, it was fantastic! Thank you for the wonderful experience and great memories. I can honestly recommend this place to everyone!

Shoutout to the staff for promptly picking up my call at such short notice to rent me the BMW R1300GS Trophy, thus ticking off my bucket list. Motorcycles and accessories (helmets, phone holders), were well maintained and in great running condition. I was pleasantly surprised that usually chargeable items such as a jumpstarter and puncture repair kit were included as standard items. The staff was also very transparent with the pricing and very knowledgeable with potential hazards and general driving conditions in Melbourne and Victoria. They also managed to convince me to give the Great Ocean Road a try, which I did not regret! Granted, rental costs more than typical run-of-the-mill motorcycles from mainstream Japanese and Chinese makes, but so long you have the right licences and permits, I'd 11/10 recommend you try a BMW motorcycle and from here, especially if you're a motorcycle enthusiast. (You get what you pay for!) This is even more so if you're from where I live in, where I feel you can't really bring out the full potential of a large adventure motorcycle unless you bring it across the border. Thank you to the rental shop and staff!

Johnathan is a very nice and professional person. He will listen to your plan and give useful advices about the route or anything you need to know on the trip. The motorbike is kept well and is easy to control. It is a wonderful experience to explore Great Ocean Road with the motorbike.

Great service - was a little apprehensive as A GS1250 with panniers is a little larger than I would normally ride being short in stature. Jonathan was very helpful and gave a very comprehensive brief about the bike - would definitely use again and thoroughly recommend

I had a great experience with the rental shop even before my trip started. The staff gave me a lot of advice and information before the trip. They helped me plan a journey to my need. I had a very good experience and highly recommend the rental shop. If I needed anything during the trip the staff was available always. I travelled for 2 weeks from Melbourne to Darwin. Even after the trip they followed up with a phone call to see how everything was. I highly recommend the rental shop. Thank you very much.

We rented from the rental shop for a one way trip from Melbourne to Sydney over 12 days with drop off in Sydney. The service and motorbike were first class. The staff was very helpful in offering a range of motorbikes for the trip as well as advice on the route. A very professional experience with the personal touch. Can't recommend highly enough this company for motorcycle rentals. Thanks!

Top quality service from a top bloke. My daughter and I rented a Bmw GS 1250 and Bmw 400 scooter for a 4 day ride on the Great Ocean Road. Jonathon managed to get the scooter for my daughter at the last minute when another company let her down. The motorbikes were excellent and clothing, locks and helmets were provided. Highly recommend. Thanks Jonathon for making this such a great adventure. Simon and Sophie

I cannot recommend enough. Jonathan is so helpful and explains everything from start to finish. What an amazing company and if you’re looking to hire a motorcycle to do some exploring I wouldn’t hesitate in using Motorcycle rental’s Melbourne!!! I had the most amazing time exploring the Great Ocean Road!!!

Nov. 13, 2025

I booked last minute for a trip along the Great Ocean Road. From the get-go Jonathan was great, clear communication and I was soon starting my journey. The motorbike was fantastic and the recommended itinerary was great! Will definitely book again if i’m in the area. Thanks again!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We had an amazing experience renting motorcycles in Melbourne! From 8–11 September, I rode with three other couples on BMW GS 1250s to the Great Ocean Road, and it was truly unforgettable. The motorbikes were in excellent condition, powerful, and perfect for long-distance touring. A special thanks to Mr. Jonathan, who assisted us with the rental process—he was professional, friendly, and made everything smooth and hassle-free. His support gave us peace of mind throughout the trip. Riding along the Great Ocean Road with these motorbikes was simply epic, and I would highly recommend this rental service to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable motorcycle adventure in Melbourne.

I recently rented a motorcycle from Jonathan for a 4-day Great Ocean Road loop trip (8-11 Sept), and I had an absolute blast! Jonathan was super helpful and easy to deal with from the start. The motorbike was in excellent condition, and he provided all the necessary gear and instructions to ensure a smooth ride. The Great Ocean Road was stunning, and the motorbike handled beautifully on the winding roads. I loved the freedom of exploring the scenic coastal route on two wheels. Jonathan was very flexible and accommodating, and he even provided some great tips on the best spots to visit along the way. The rental process was straightforward, and he made sure I had everything I needed for a safe and enjoyable trip. Overall, I highly recommend Jonathan's motorcycle rental service for anyone looking to explore Melbourne and its surroundings on two wheels. Can't wait to come back and rent from him again! Next stop, Darwin.

I am with 3 other couples from Singapore had planned to ride through The Great Ocean Road in Melbourne and we had rented our motorbikes from Jonathan of MRM. It was beyond our expectation that Jonathan being so helpful and sincere in ensuring that our journey is done safely. He reminded us of the speed limit that we had to follow and some safety tips when we travel off-road. He even noticed my height against the motorbike that I am renting which is a bit high and he got the seat changed to a lower one without any delay. I felt easy talking to Jonathan like we have known each other for years and I would reconmend anyone whose coming to ride in Melbourne to look for Jonathan's motorbike rental service.

Sept. 22, 2025

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Jonathan’s passion for motorcycles is next level. He’s not just knowledgeable (and I mean encyclopaedic-level knowledgeable), but he genuinely cares about giving honest advice and making sure you are looked after. From the first chat to picking up the motorbike, the whole experience felt personal and easy (never like I was just another customer). The motorbikes themselves are beautifully looked after, and you can really see the pride he takes in every single one. Honestly, it’s no wonder everyone raves about Motorcycle Rentals Melbourne. If you’re thinking of hiring a motorbike, this is 100% the place to go. Highly recommend you check it out! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Jonathan is great at guiding through the whole rental process to make it easier. He is really easy-going. I rented a motorbike for a day for learning on my L’s and he prepared the whole journey for me to get good riding experience out there. He was a great help in helping hire the gear as well when needed. This was my second time renting there and I will continue to do so. Great area where he is located to take the motorbike for a quick ride out the back into Macedon and other areas.

June 16, 2025

Jonathan’s communication from the start was excellent and he has a great fleet of motorbikes. I hadn’t been on a motorbike for a while and Jonathan gave me some great insight into the GS1300 I hired. It was in great condition with no problems along with the gear I hired. Would definitely recommend and if able I will use again :)

I had an amazing experience renting a motorcycle from Jonathan! From start to finish, the process was smooth and hassle-free. Jonathan was incredibly helpful, providing clear instructions and ensuring the motorbike was in top-notch condition. His friendly and professional attitude made the entire rental experience a pleasure. The motorcycle itself was well-maintained, reliable, and perfect for my road trip. I truly appreciate Jonathan’s attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile to make sure everything was set up for a great ride. Thanks to him, my trip was stress-free and enjoyable. If you're looking for a trustworthy and efficient motorcycle rental service, I highly recommend Jonathan. I’ll definitely be renting from him again in the future!

Jonathon was absolutely lovely. Easy to work with. Helpful tourist suggestions for the ride. Bikes were clean. Nice selection of helmets, gloves, jacket and accessories for the motorbike like storage boxes. Explained the functions very thoroughly and was even flexible on the return time for me. Can’t wait to come back and do it again!

I don’t think there are enough words (or at least enough good ones) to describe my experience with Jonathan. I was in Australia for the WIMA Rally and, after weeks of back-and-forth with him, I ended up borrowing a motorbike from someone else. Classic me. But when that plan fell through last minute, Jonathan came to the rescue and got me sorted on the shiny new 1300. The pickup was seamless: I got a ride to the location, had a detailed walkthrough of the motorbike (Jonathan’s thoroughness deserves its own applause), signed the paperwork, and hit the road. The motorbike was flawless during the rally, but what really stood out was how Jonathan handled another attendee’s small spill. He showed up, sorted the motorbike, helped other clients, and still managed to be friendly, calm, and efficient. Honestly, it was the smoothest rental experience anyone had during the rally—and that’s saying something when you’re dealing with a group of riders! All the motorbikes were top-notch, and the prices were fantastic. I racked up several hundred kilometers on that trip, and next time I’m back, I’ll absolutely be calling up “Mr. Moo” (ask him about the name—it’s worth it). Heh

Wonderful… just fabulous. Jonathon is friendly and very helpful, clear communication booking and before the pickup, very detailed instructions on handover- the motorbikes are sophisticated machines with great features so you will need to pay attention! We had a magnificent ride down the great ocean road and certainly enjoyed the heated bars and seats with the highly varied Victoria weather🤗the helmets and jackets were in excellent condition so no complaints there. Well done and thanks for a magnificent motorbike adventure !

Sept. 28, 2024

Better late than never Jonathan! Last minute hire Jonathan bent over backward to get me a ride… despite being out of his own stock. Great service, great guy and can’t wait to come back and hire another motorbike of him. Had a sensational ride around the Vic/NSW highlands with a bunch of old mates. Thanks MRM! Ian N

I rent a 2024 BMW R1300GS Trophy for my week-end and spent one and a half days riding the Great Ocean Road from Melbourne to Allansford then back to Melbourne by highways. First thing to say, the motorbike is wonderful : like new in look, confidence inspiring, every functions work. Secondly, Jonathan the owner is an amazing guy : helpful, good advisor, careful, road connoisseur. I will definitely come back in the future.

June 23, 2024

This morning my schedule cleared and I approached Jonathan to see if he had any lams approved motorbikes available on short notice. He had just the motorbike I wanted and ended up having a great day on the motorbike. Thanks Jonathan for the smooth and quick transaction and I look forward to the next ride.

May 8, 2024

Had a fabulous time renting one of Jonathan's BMW GSs and riding it to the Twelve Apostles, followed by a pilgrimage to the circuit at Phillip Island. Would highly recommend hiring a motorbike from him and seeing beautiful Victoria.

April 12, 2024

I can highly recommend Motorcycle Rentals Melbourne after hiring a R1250 GS Rallye X and spending 5 days in the Victorian high country. Jonathan is a very knowledgeable experienced enthusiastic motorcyclist with a fleet of new well maintained motorbikes. Everything is clearly explained in a seamless hiring and dehiring process. Thanks again, Duncan.

March 18, 2024

Jonathan is very welcoming and very nice person. He is willing to help us everything and gave very clear explain about the motorbike before let us go. Im very impressed with rental the motorbike here. It was an amazing trip for us. We rent gs1200A and we will come back here again for sure. Cant wait for the next time thanks you so much for helping us to bring a good memory back home. Everything is just perfect.😊💕💕

Jan. 8, 2024

I rented a f750gs just after Christmas, the motorbike was in immaculate condition and ran like new. The owner Jonathan was very friendly and professional, walking me through all the features of the motorbike before we set off. All in all a fantastic experience.

Jan. 2, 2024

We hired the motorbike for my Canadian brother in law who is over here for the Christmas holidays. He is a lifelong Honda enthusiast and the experience exceeded expectations. Both Jonathan and Michelle were customer focused, responsive and thorough. Thanks so much!

Dec. 28, 2023

Jonathan is a welcoming and very nice guy who cares for his customers. He explained everything about the motorbike and the route very well and made sure that I felt comfortable with everything. It was the perfect rental to have an enjoyable ride along the great ocean road. I would do it definitely again.

Nov. 5, 2023

Jonathan was a legend. I had a great chat on arrival about motorcycles and our experiences. He also was a great communicator with emails, phone calls and SMS messages. He was prompt and I never felt I had to chase him up. When I picked up the BMW 1250 GS-R I was blown away as it was brand new and immaculate. He went over everything with me and made it so easy for me to understand how to use the GPS and panniers and motorbike controls. The motorbike was awesome to ride and felt like a dirt motorbike underneath me. I also loved all the cool features like cruise control and grip warmers and more. I had an awesome ride to and from Bathurst from Melbourne. Many thanks to Jonathan in helping me tick off one of my bucket list items. I couldn’t recommend a better hire company for motorcycle hire. Very happy customer.

Oct. 11, 2023

Warm friendly greeting, Jonathan is certainly well practised in mechanics, each motorbike I have hired is maintained to a high standard. Last hire was 2 motorbikes over 2000km 3 day trip. A most memorable experience. Smooth easy relaxed transaction on collecting/returning the motorbikes. Easy online booking. Many thanks Jonathan, I couldn’t recommend a better hire company for motorcycle hire. Also gave some great ideas for the next trip/hire. Thank you once again Jonathan.

June 21, 2023

Highly recommend! Johnathan was very responsive when discussing my trip plans to AUS via email and phone. Once I arrived he took time to go over the motorbike and followed up later that evening with a curiosity text. The GS850 I rented for 4 days was amazing. It felt like a motorbike I own. Did not have any doubts about reliability. Rode the The Great Ocean Rd. Also rode the Yarra Ranges National Park twice then around Lake Eildon then down around the gold mining territory. This was my favorite area. Our discussions after returning the motorbike felt like we've been friends for a while. Will rent again when I return to OZ!

What an amazing experience I had driving a motorcycle from Melbourne. I drove on the great ocean road with the rented motorcycle and went to the Grampians. I had the Honda CB300F. Although I drive a 950cc motorbike in the Netherlands, this 300cc motorbike was amazing for turning and feeling the road on this specific journey. Jonathan was very professional and friendly. He was absolutely right about this motorbike being a lot of fun to ride. The pick-up place of the motorbike is somewhat out of the city, but you can reach the place easily with public transport.

April 28, 2023

What a ride! I rented out the 750GSA for 5 days for a Great Ocean Road and the Grampians Roadtrip. It was a blast. The motorbike was in amazing condition and Jonathans service was outstanding. He noticed the back tire of the motorbike was around 20% and insisted to change to a new tire, mostly because of the expectedly rain. This was very welcome and even though it didn’t rain the whole week. The new tire was a good bonus. Would definitely rent out a motorbike from Jonathan again if I’m ever in the neighborhood.

April 21, 2023

Jonathan was very responsive and helpful throughout the rental process. The motorbike was also impeccably well-maintained for a 100000km+ motorbike, with little to no issues on it. He also was accommodating to my one-way request to return the motorbike at Adelaide. Made my Great Ocean Road tour a very pleasantly memorable one, despite the gloomy weather.
