Rental in Mendoza
Hello - I'm planning a surprise 50 bd trip for my husband. I'd like to rent a motorcycle in Mendoza but don't have any info on how to get started. My husband is a very experienced rider and we've cycled throughout the US and Mexico. Can anyone help?

Pretty nice birthday present!
Can you be a little more specific - what is it you want to know - and which Mendoza?
Rentals in much of South America are very limited. For some ideas on what is available see our links page, or Tour Companies page - links on left menu. For a first trip, often the easiest way is a tour, or if you really want to do it on your own - good! - then try renting from a tour company. Their bikes aren't usually going full time, so you may be able to get a good price and lots of good info.
have a great trip!

These guys are very pricey, but they have new 1200GS and 1200GS Adventures.
