125cc required to hire in South India

Hi all
Does anyone know where I can hire a 125cc bike near Kerala, or maybe even Pondicherry.
125cc required due to the restriction on my current Travel insurance policy and the fact that I ride an Enfield in the UK, so have no desire to ride one in India!
Any info or links would be appreciated
Thanks

Thumbs up

I toured south India on an Enfield: don't worry, a 125cc is plenty fast enough for Indian roads.... :-S

There are many locals that will hire you a 125 in Kerala. The most importand thing is that you make sure the bike has been well maintained.

find one of the local "fixers" they will me more than happy to help you out. Also the people you stay at might rent you one too!

Good luck.
