Chiang Mai definitely a good place to rent, several rental places to choose from and fab riding to be had. We rented a couple of Honda CRF 250s from Pops a couple of years ago, and had a ball riding them around the mountains - don't just do the Mae Hon Song loop, there's lots more excellent riding to be had further North along the Burmese border, and to Nan and the NE. Great little bikes, perfect for the roads, excellent petrol consumption, and the ones we had were almost new. They'll do a good deal on longer hire, whichever bike you choose. You can get a good, comfortable and cheap sleeper train from Bangkok to Chiang Mai.
