Renting a Bike in Delhi?
What is the standard for payment? Cash? Or will a credit card work?
Seems I'll have to drop about 1K USD to rent the bike (after the security deposit) and not sure I wanted to carry that much cash with me..
anyone have any advice?
also.. am planning on renting from bullet wallas.. any thoughts there?

I had no problem with credit card a few years ago.
As to who to rent from, one name keeps coming up, year after year. Lalli Singh.
lalli singh.com
I rented from him and he went above and beyond for me and many others. He is not the cheapest, but he was well worth every rupee.

1K USD! For that you will be able to buy a second hand bullet!

Lalli is the most known but the most expensive too!
Last month i rented a bullet 350 from Bullet Wallas. The bike run well and cost me 16.000 rps a month with 300 euros of deposit. And you can still find cheaper bikes ...

How long are you planning on renting the bike for? I looked around in Delhi thinking about buying an Enfield since it's taking a while for my Ducati to show. It's basically assumed you'll crash (traffic takes some getting used to) and/or ride an Enfield like it's a new bike (butcher the engine) so dealers don't like renting for short periods. You can buy a good used one for a thousand US.
I brought in US$1,000 with no problems. All of this has been actively discussed on ADV Rider with recommended shops. Like Nigel said, there's lots of great recommendations about Lalli Sing. It's a great country!
