From reading this board and others it seems like renting would be my best bet, right? Anyone have rental suggestions? I'm looking for something simple and cheap with two wheels to ride.
Just starting to put the details together so if you have any input, suggestions, forewarning, everything is appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
you don't say when you plan to travel. I would propose to "follow" the weather season.
For two weeks, you could spend them
Summer ( Juni-Aug): Nordic countries
Spring or autumn: Central Europe
"Vinter time": South of Portugal and Spain.
July and August have heavy tourism and very hot in Southern Europe.
High mountain passes are only open a short summer period...
My favorites are
Portugal in April-May + Sept-Oct
Sweden-Norway-Finland June-Aug.
Southern Portugal has so much to see and so many nice roads that you can stay one week in the same hotel. Lagos is one example. And make day trips in the area.
Bikes can be rented in Faro, close to the airport. (If you want BMW type)

Scooters, you can rent everywhere
