What the day feels like

This is a motorcycle rental built around long-haul comfort and presence: you arrange a rental for between one and six days, collect a current-year Roadmaster®, complete any necessary paperwork and waivers, and head out on roads suited to a high-capacity touring machine. The program emphasizes the bike’s luxury appointments and touring capability for riders prepared to manage varying road and weather conditions.

Suitability

Who it's for

1
Experienced RidersWell suited: the Roadmaster® is intended for experienced motorcyclists comfortable handling a large, powerful touring machine and managing diverse road and weather conditions.
2
Younger RidersNot ideal for under-21s: the rental program specifies a minimum age of 21 and requires a motorcycle endorsement.
3
License-HoldersRequired: all riders must hold a motorcycle licence (motorcycle endorsement) to rent and operate the bike under the program.
4
Casual SightseersPossible for day explorers who meet the age and licence requirements, but the machine’s touring orientation rewards riders planning longer runs and who can handle a large bike.
