Rented an excellent CB500X from Motorent at Christchurch. It went well, proving to be ideal for the roads on the south island and covered just over 1400 kms in 4 days. The motorbike was well prepared and the panniers gave me enough capacity. It would have been 5 stars but for the hired riding kit that wasn't as good as expected but I couldn't fault the cost of its hire.

Run out of a Honda dealership so you are getting properly serviced machines. All the gear and luggage you need. Extremely professional, friendly and well organised operation. Also I recommend the VStrom 650 as a nimble light motorbike that suits the conditions in NZ!

It was a pleasure to rent the Honda CB500X from Motorent.nz for a two-week tour across both the North and South Islands. The motorcycle was well-prepared and performed flawlessly, showing no signs of wear or issues throughout the journey. I conducted daily checks, but everything remained in excellent condition. The tires were in good shape, the brakes responsive, and the suspension both smooth and comfortable. Overall, it was a safe, reliable, and easy-to-handle motorbike. Together with my son, who rode his own motorbike, we covered over 3,900 km from Auckland to Queenstown, traveling along both the eastern and western coasts—creating unforgettable memories. I sincerely thank Motorent.nz for their contribution to this successful and memorable adventure.

Danny, Donnna & Alex really took care of me for my motorbike tour of the South Island. The motorbike itself, a CB500X was extremely smooth and handled everything the South Island had to throw at me. Highly recommend Motorent if you are planning your own NZ motorbike trip.

I hired a Honda CB500X for a week in March this year. Pick ip and drop-off in Auckland was pleasingly straightforward. The motorbike was in good condition and raised no issues during the rental period. Communication in the lead up to hiring was good.
