Just checked myself (curious), seems like a lot of nice bikes to rent!

In the end, you are renting a bike from a person ... I've had rentals that were great (guy spent some time going over the bike and some tips on settings), and one odd one where the guy acted like I was bothering him (Sat 8am pickup time, buy hey, he agreed to it). 

There may be a "first time renter" discount code they give you as well.

I've thought about putting my V7 on the site. They are pretty indestructible so probably couldn't be damaged from aggressive riding other than dumping it. Although would someone else treat it with respect or beat the crap out of it?

I do wonder if someone renting from an individual would treat it decently compared to the stories I hear about rental cars from agencies.

If you want to deliver your V7 to San Antonio I promise to take care of it, otherwise I'll check out Riders Share, there's a nice FJ1300 on there that would be OK for a couple days.

Thanks for the advice.

Following up:  I ended up renting a wethead BMW GSA from Riders Share and had a great ride through the Texas hill country.  Didn't get to do the twisted sisters due to time constraints but still had a great ride.  Give the Willow Loop a try if you're ever near Fredericksburg, very beautiful in spring.

I asked the owner about his experience renting to strangers and he said he's only had a couple of problems, everyone else treated the bike well.  This particular bike had 92K on the clock but still ran very well and looked nice.
