Bike rental around Rome

Hi! I was wondering if something like MotoShare exists in Italy? I would like to rent a motorbike during a weekend trip to Rome and could not really find affordable places to rent a bike. Mostly looking for models like a F650GS for two up riding, but others should work as well!

I have found these addresses:
https://www.rentalmotorbike.com/motorbike-rental-roma
https://toprentmoto.com/en/location/rome/bmw-f700gs-2

I was wondering if you have any recommendations?

Actually, the trip will probably start in Pisa. Anyone any recommendations for rental in Pisa?

Check the HU Communities - "Connect / Contact a Community" on the menu at the top - maybe someone local will know, or even be willing to rent a bike to you.

Thanks a lot Grant! I have contacted both the Lucca and Castiglioncello community. In the meantime I found this website which seems to offer a lot of flexibility: cimt.it. However, prices still seem a bit steep for just 5 days.

That's the way of it with motorcycle rentals: everyone wants to charge you hundreds of dollars for a big BMW or Harley, when I'd be happy with a little 250 for putting around town or the backroads.

Exactly!

If anyone has any more tips, would be great if you could share them. Also for other for further reference
