Icelander here, new on the forum; I have NO relation whatsoever to any of the bike rentals, but I just wanted to add my guess as to why renting bikes is expensive here.

Taxes and tariffs on cars and motorcycles are pretty high I think. for example, an €8000 bike costs €13000 after fees - not including dealer markup. (We do get something for the taxes, such as good roads in a largely unpopulated country ...) Then I don't think motorcycle insurance is cheap here - €600/year isn't uncommon for privately owned bikes; rental insurance is surely higher.

Given these economic barriers, motorcycle rental is unfortunately not as mainstream as it could be here. Therefore I believe the motorcycle rental companies have a strong incentive to service the higher end of the market. Overall, it seems that renters get well maintained specimens of solid brands - KTMs and BMWs - an friendly, flexible, and competent service.

This is speculation on my part - but I am quite sure that the prices of rental motorcycles are largely dictated by the market environment — and that renters also do get something for the money.

If you have a bike and you can get it on the Norræna / Smyril Line ferry, then that's clearly worth looking at.

Bike Hire in Iceland - https://bikesbooking.com We rented from reykjavik Motor center in 2017 , and they were great (easy to get to by public transport in Reyk), plus their selection is wider than sportstravel, and the F650's we rented came with panniers. One bike developed a problem a few hundred km from Rey the first day and they immediately came out with a replacement.
