Ontario Motorcycle Rentals

For many riders, the cost and worry of damage associated with transporting their bike can be unsettling. Fortunately, there are plenty of dealers and rental businesses across Ontario that can hook you up with a great ride for the afternoon, weekend or even longer-term packages. While Harley-Davidson is the most well-represented ride, there is some variety to choose from. Generally, you will need at least an M2 license, some experience on a larger bike, and a credit card with room for at least a $2000 security deposit.
