Kauai Motorcycle Rental

Husband and wife team of Caleb and Teresa responded right away to my inquiry for the Honda Shadow cruiser I rented. They were very attentive from the time I made the email inquiry to the time I picked up the bike. Caleb even offered to pick me up and take me to their shop when I arrived.
Great small shop for those of us that DON’T care for Harleys. A pleasant surprise I received when I got there was that they gave me 20% off my rate because I rented for at least 3 days.
The Honda Shadow rode like a dream. Smooth as silk and rode very similar to the Kawasaki Vulcan I have back home. I liked it so much I rented it an extra half day. About 2 hours before I was to return the bike, it wouldn’t start! BUT no despair it was some electrical snag. I called and Caleb responded right away and came and picked me up and drove me back to town AND was nice enough to not charge me the last days rental.
Overall, it didn’t hurt my experience at all and I would most certainly rent from them again.
Thanks Caleb and Teresa, keep up the good work.

Had the best experience with renting here! Everything was easy, pleasant, convenient (located near airport) and their motorcycle selection is ideal for all types of Kauai travel with dual sport, super moto and street bikes. All are very new and in great shape. The couple who runs the place (forgot their names!) are super sweet and accommodating. Definitely check this place out if you’re considering renting a bike here — it was the highlight of our trip!

This company is exactly what is needed on Kaua’i. I took a trip to the island at the beginning of June this year and we wanted to do some off-​roading. Our group rented two 4WD wranglers but I wanted to try out adventure biking. Prior to the trip, I looked for places online and mostly found cruiser or sport bike rentals, but then I found KMR’s website. For the price and getting an included helmet, it seemed solid. I called and spoke with Shayna before the trip and everything sounded legit. Once on Kaua’i, our group was staying on Anini Beach and that meant I’d need a ride to Lihu’e. KMR was very easy to work with figuring out pick-​up and drop-​off times, which helped a lot. The plan was to pick it up on a Wednesday night. [Note — they’ll have you fill out the insurance paperwork online in advance of the pick up, it makes everything easier]
After being warmly welcomed, I checked out their garage. All the bikes were in great condition, including the Suzuki DR650 I was going to rent. As part of the rental release, I was given a detailed checklist and allowed ample time to check over the ride and document if I found any problems. That check included allowing me to ride it a short distance to make sure it shifted well, good throttle response, etc. I expected to find a sad collection of helmets, because, well, helmets get nasty. I was surprised to find helmets in immaculate condition, three or more of each size. After signing the appropriate releases, I was on my way.
I had a great time with the DR650. Kaua’i is gorgeous, but seeing it from a bike is way better. I hit a good number of trails with it, took it into the interior areas and the canyon. Since this was my first time ever riding a dual-​sport, it’s no surprise I put it down once. It was a downhill clay road, about 45 degrees, with drop offs. So I busted a rear taillight. Upon returning it, the bottom covered in mud, I pointed out what I’d done. We checked it over for any other damage, but all was well. The taillight housing was only $ 25 so I was charged ~$ 32, $ 5 for shipping and tax. That’s pretty honest and fair, something most people are wary about with rental companies.
I highly recommend Kaua’i Motorcycle Rental to anyone on the island.
~Note~
For some good riding (I only had a day), hit up Waimea canyon. Once inside the park, between mile markers 10 — 15, there are some great roads to hit. The YWCA camp there has a road that goes far back. Many potential spots are for driveways, so you’ll find yourself turning around at times, but just go explore it!
For the interior, go check out Kuamo’o Road (580) and run it until the end. I started into the Powerline Trailhead and it was beautiful, but I had to turn around because that day the water flowing over one of the stone bridges was too high for my confidence level. Again, just go check it out.

Rented the Honda Shadow and the process was seamless. Very friendly service from booking, picking up and returning the bike. Cheaper than a Harley rental and just as much fun. Great location near the airport. The motorcycle I rented was in excellent condition and my family and I (they rented Harleys) had the BEST time driving around and exploring Kauai on our bikes. Highly recommend Kauai Motorcycle Rental — especially if you’re a female driver like myself and need a smaller bike (the Harley place didn’t have anything small enough for me).

If you’re not renting a dual sport on Kauai, you’re missing out. Once you get off the beaten path a bit, the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. The motorcycle I rented was in great shape and they were super helpful in getting me set up and headed out; not to mention at $ 150, it was one of the cheaper days we had on the island. Would definitely recommend!

Kauai Motorcycle Rentals has many bikes to choose from at great prices ($ 100-​$ 150 a day) with helmet & insurance included! They have easy online booking and are very helpful even offering suggested routes to take and tips of where to go. It’s a great way to explore the island and have some fun!
