latest bikes

If you fancy riding the latest sports bikes but can't afford one, fly down to Goa and rent a super bike for as little as Rs.350 a day and get set for a long ride.'Youngsters love to ride new and latest models. So we invest in such bikes and recover our costs easily,' Johnny Gonsalves, who rents bikes, told IANS.

'As soon as a new model hits the market, we buy it. Though we have to invest a lot in these bikes, but as the season approaches, we recover every bit of it,' he added.

Starting from Yamaha's Fazer, YZF-R15 and FZ series to Hero Honda Karizma to Bajaj Avenger and latest models of Bajaj Pulsar are available on rent. These bikes cost Rs.70,000-Rs.90,000.

According to Gonsalves, the rentals soar in December and January and can go up to Rs.1,000 per day.

'December and January are the peak season when the influx of tourists is more in the city. That time rentals of these super bikes easily go up to Rs.1,000 a day while for a Honda Activa it can easily go up to Rs.500 which otherwise is available for Rs.200 per day,' he said.
