Great to hear it worked out well.
The bike rental standard is being raised in Mk.
Do tenereriders have an actual shop/address in RAK?
Cnf on the website.
Would be great if they or someone gets the new 450 in next year.

The office is at Appt 43, el khattabi, Résidence Jawad, 109 Bd Abdelkrim Al Khattabi, Marrakech 40000, Marokko
I went straight to the pickup/return location for the bike; it is an underground parking garage across the Fuel Station Service Afriquia on Blvd Mohamed Zerktouni.
I would love to ride the new Himalayan!

Bike hire agadir
Looking for a bike that will carry a passenger and do the high atles mountains, dades gorge etc and some gravel tracks. Cant really find anything in agadir apart from a honda xl650 so quite an old bike. Worried about it being reliable as we will be out in middle of no where at times. Dont want to pay 200 a day. know there is a sticky above but somewhat out of date.

So how did you go finding a bike for 2 up riding? My wife and i are thinking about riding the south and at home we have a GS1250 but bikes like that seem pretty expensive in Morocco. Would love a Honda A/T or GS1200 for a few weeks.

Loc ditched all the 310s apart from one lowered one, and replaced them with 6 x KTM 390 Adventure SW in September.
Unfortunately SW = tubed tyres, although the adjustable WP APEX suspension is better than the 310s. Fuel consumption is up to 30kpl so the bigger 14.5L tank means a range of over 400km (a GS was low 300s). The standard Quickshifter+ is great. Just as well as like the 310, on the piste the stance is all wrong with the bars too low, and the sooner the TKC70 tyres wear out the better.
The Loc 390s come with Givi engine bars and top box rack. Prices about 1100dh/day! but like their bigger KTMs, they're not on the Loc/B-MA websites or other media, afaics.
My quick impressions here.

I was wondering why there are not Bajaj 150, Hero XPulse 200 or similar bikes in Morocco for rent ? They would be an ideal budget option for rental purposes and Bajaj is very wide spread all over Africa, I myself travelled over 10.000km on a Bajaj 150 in Africa without any issues, even doing quite heavy offroad where some GS would have sh** their pants . 100% capable to go anywhere in Morocco, even the tough offroad parts if you take an extra jerrycan. Don´t need a fancy T7, GS or Himalayan for that stuff if you don´t mind to go a little slower. I rented small cars ( not older than 5 years ) multiple times in Marrakesh for 20-25€/day ( non-internet deals but with proper contract and insurance ) so I don´t get why anything on two wheels over 50cc starts at minimum 50-60€/day ( DR650 / Himalayan ). If you compare the purchase price of those bikes and compare it with small cars, the prices are very expensive. Specially now with the Trans-Morocco-Trail a business that rents out budget bikes would be thriving.
Greetings,
Chris
