Testimonials

Hear it from them

I rented a BMW Adventure motorcycle from the rental shop for my trip across South Africa, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The motorbike was in excellent condition, extremely reliable, and perfectly prepared for a long-distance adventure. A special thanks to the staff member, who was incredibly friendly, professional, and always willing to help with anything I needed. Their excellent service and attention to detail made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I highly recommend the rental shop to anyone looking for a quality motorcycle rental in South Africa, and I will definitely rent from them again on my next visit.

What a great company! I was in the Western Cape for a holiday and the rental shop was recommended - great result. I was able to try a few different motorbikes around the block to check them out resulting in me renting a HD Fat Bob (an older 103ci model with a few battle scars but ideal for my trip). I had the motorbike for a couple of days and had a blast covering a chunk of the Western Cape. Renting was super easy, good value, decent kit (Helmet, Jacket and Gloves) provided as part of the rental and the motorbike performed really well. The staff member is a super nice guy who made the whole rental experience a pleasure. He gave me lots of ideas for routes which included the Bain's Kloof and Du Toitskloof passes which if you've not ridden them - do it, they are fabulous. Overall, if you're thinking of renting a Harley Davidson in the Cape Town area, give the rental shop a call, you won't be disappointed.

Rented a 1300GS for 4 days. The staff was very accommodating, very responsive and provided excellent tips for my journey. The motorbike was excellent. It had Android Auto/CarPlay for navigation and top of the line side boxes and crashbars. The rental shop has a few good helmets with Cardo coms, few jackets and gloves. I would definitely recommend the rental shop.

The staff were very accommodating. I requested a motorbike and some gear at very short notice, and they were more than happy to help out. The motorbike was in fantastic condition and was a pleasure to ride. I received some great tips on routes, and the staff were more than happy to collect the motorbike the following day. Wouldn't hesitate to hire again, should I find myself back in Cape Town at any point.

I rented a BMW F800GS, the perfect motorcycle, new tires and chain, very economical and reliable. I rode 5,000 km with this motorcycle in South Africa, I had no problems or unforeseen events, everything was very satisfactory. The rental shop was very kind, attentive and helpful. I am very satisfied. Thank you.

I highly recommend the rental shop for GS rentals. I rented a motorcycle from the rental shop at the end of May 2026, and it was an exceptional adventure. From the very beginning, the staff was essentially the organizer of my trip, offering advice not only on the motorbike but also on where to stay. Before the rental, I was fortunate to meet a wonderful team member who helped me choose all the high-quality gear and made me a wonderful coffee. From the very beginning, the staff were more than just businessmen; they were like old acquaintances. I had pre-booked a GS900, but on the day of the rental, two perfectly prepared motorcycles were parked outside: a GS900 and a GS 1250. I was offered to test-drive both before the trip. Until that moment, the BMW GS 1250 was just a collection of letters and numbers for me; now it's my love. I took the 1250, which was perfectly prepared for the trip. In addition, I was provided with itineraries, some of which I completed. Throughout my travels, the staff was always responsive to all my questions, offering advice and recommendations. I thank the rental shop from the bottom of my heart and hope to return to Cape Town as soon as possible.

Rented a GS for one day to explore the coastal roads in the region. The motorbike was in top shape, and the riding gear we rented was brand new and very clean. The staff were very helpful and friendly. Prices are clearly listed on the website, and the paperwork was handled very professionally.

Incredible rental experience. You can book via an app. The rental shop itself is a piece of art. The motorbike was awesome. And of course, great service. Thank you!

Had an absolutely excellent experience renting from the rental shop! The motorbike was in pristine condition-clearly well-serviced and looked after. What really stood out, though, was the exceptional customer service. The team goes above and beyond to make sure you're set for the road. I have to recognize the staff for amazing hospitality and advice about local routes and eats. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore Cape Town on two wheels!
