Hi Matan,
I stayed in the township of Amalfi (on the southern side of the peninsula) and simply hired a scooter from the local tourist office.
There are tons of scooter hire places in all small towns, but not sure about motorcycles.
Take your own helmet as they will only supply bicycle helmets and watch out on the Amalfi Road - they are totally mad but it was SO much fun

When Scootergal says "totally mad," this is not an exaggeration. Expect shiny Italian sportbikes passing cars which are passing buses, all in your lane on blind corners. It's a bit better on week-days than weekends.
Sorry I don't know about rentals. I brought my own. Googling Motorcycle rental Sorrento gave some likely results.
Hope that's helpful.

They have watched too many races...jejeje
I rode it this summer and the road was full of parked cars, crazy drivers on scooters (all wearing a jet helmet and sandals). But it is beautiful
Maybe in september it will be better, with less tourist.

Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
