We highly recommend the rental shop for independent or group motorcycle hire. The communication (to NZ) has been excellent throughout our planning and all requests were responded to, also gave lots of extra great advice for our 15 day ride around Norway. Video links and suggested itineraries helped our planning. We are NZ based and decided to hire a full set of quality riding gear (Klim) along with motorbike. The late model KTM 1290 adventure sport (cruise control great) was well prepared and equipped with secure side luggage and big top box, ample for our two up trip. We did 4000kms and made it from Hamburg to Trondheim, and back via Denmark and Sweden. Norway riding was an absolute delight, not fast (80-100kph) lots to see, beautiful country and many Fjord ferry crossing, many many tunnels, for the ferries get the FerryPay app (from ferry, or they will approach you to make one off payments - very friendly tho). Denmark and Sweden was often very windy riding (land of wind turbines) but necessary motorway travel to get quickly to Farsund. Thanks for the experience, and MotoGP Sachsenring tips (which is a must for road race fanatics). Hope you get to NZ come and see us. Best Ralph & Julia
