Renting bikes in Argentina
Hi everyone,
I am off to Argentina at the end of the year and I am hoping to rent a bike while I am there. Can anyone suggest a good company I can hire a bike from?

motocare buenos aires
I rented a transalp 650 from this company in feb 2008. Very professional and good quality equipment. I'm pretty sure if you search here you'll find a post i made after my trip. I may rent with him this year.
Contact me if you have any specific questions.

Hi,
If you are looking for a BMW, you can contact a dealer called "Cordasco BMW" nice guys, good service, almost new bikes for rental. They are located about 500 mts away from Jorge Newbery Airport in Buenos Aires (AKA Aeroparque). Cordasco's coordinates can be retrieved from the internet. Regards!

Renting in Argentina - Motorcare
I have just completed an 11000 KM trip through Argentina and Chile. I rented the Transalp 650 through Motocare in Buenos Aires. The man in charge, Mariano, was excellent from start to finish. I arrived in BA thinking that it might be difficult to find a trustworthy company to rent through. But with Motocare, I couldn't have asked for a better level of professionalism. The service was impeccable and Mariano speaks fluent English which really helps for a non-Spanish speaker.
If you have any specific questions, let me know.
