What a great experience!
















AZ Ride has been the BEST!

May 2007 was my first rental from AZRide.com. I rented the R1200RT (my first) and the 1200GS. Both were great bikes, however I feel in love with the RT. So, when the opportunity came up to purchase the RT from Gabor & Monica, I knew I could not say no!
They have been the greatest to work with and they run the tightest ship I've ever seen. The two together have what it takes to put together everything from a great tour to as simple as getting your bike registered without a hassle.

I thought that since I purchased the RT from M & G, that it would be the end of my rentals! I guess not! Now, I can wait to try something else and do the comparisons!!!

Thank you for all your help!!!

Ernest and Valerie Tortilla Flat Wildflowers

Monica and Gabor were great to rent from. We are already planning our next trip. The V-Strom is a great bike, and was in perfect shape. Val and I rode out top Tortilla Flat off of the Apache Trail to take in the spectacluar wildflowers this year.








Here we are at the Canyon Lake lookout.





Here is the fabulous V-Strom at Tortilla Flat. This was a very comfortable bike with very quick and stable handling through the tight turns and switchbacks.



This is a great exampple of an Arizona Poppy. The blooming barrel cactus is almost as beatiful as my wife! If you have a chance to see the wildfloewr bloom in Arizona in the spring, rent a motorcycle from AZRIDE

Local Yokel

I am Todd and I've been riding in AZ since ~1990. Been there, done that (got stuck there...got lost there...) but still enjoy doing it. I'm considering buying a GS1200 so I rented one from AZ rides. I found them on time, knowledgeable, and just darn nice (bikes are immaculate as well). I took it up through Superior and Globe, and then up to Roosevelt lake. Passed a half dozen car clubs enjoying the AZ backroads (one was a string of about 15 classic 1940's cars all restored, a joy to pass slowly on a beautiful day). Down the Apache trail and back to Tempe in just a few hours round trip. Beautiful ride, very mellow, but delicious curves the GS just carved through - oh and the usual stunning AZ scenery of the salt river canyon. Stopped by Victory BMW in Tempe and started pricing a new GS :-)

I highly recommend the experience for anyone. It will be the best ~$250 you've spent on yourself in a long time.

Go. Do. Ride.

Wifey and Honda Goldwing

We greatly enjoyed renting the Goldwing from MCTOURS and riding in Arizona. My only regret is that we did not take the bike longer. The ride to Sedona on Route 89A was awesome. I didn't take many pictures -- was too busy riding. I was enjoying the bike so much, I didn't want to get off. Next time I want to try the Concours 14. I have a frequent flyer pass I need to use. I'll probably see you again in the Fall. Gabor and Monica, your bikes are awesome and in top shape. The Goldwing ran perfectly. Until next time! --Mike and Trish
