It seems the ride share sites are getting more usage ... so I was thinking of getting a bike and renting it out on those sites.
Goal would be to get a bike I could have some fun on (when not rented out) and it could be a zero dollar bike, meaning I'd rent it enough to pay for the bike and service/maintenance.
Seems the rental company's go with BMW GS or RT bikes, or Harley's and have rental prices around $175 per day.
The ride-share insurance maxes out at $15K, so I'd want to stay under that number for the price of the bike.
I was thinking of a cheaper bike.
First thoughts were a Ninja 650 or Honda CB500X. They would be fun to ride, reliable, pretty cheap to buy/own/operate. But would they rent out?
Not sure how many rentals I'd get.
Then was thinking maybe the Royal Enfield 650s. Might be some interest there. Guys wanting to try one out, ride for a day or two but not buy one.
Motard bikes would probably get crashed frequently. All sport bikes seem a bit risky, but was thinking of a Ducati SuperSport.
I'd like to try a Ducati Multistrada 950. Maybe that would be ok.
Thoughts on bikes you would want to rent out?
The sites I know of are ride-share.com and twistedroad.com.
