ZX10R Benchmarked against...

Post by Soundwave »

...the Ducati Desmosedici.

The article below states that to prove that your eligable to rent, yes rent the bike, you need to prove yourself. On what, well the zx10r.

"A motorcycle rental company in the USA have taken the decision to rent out the Ducati Desmosedici.

* See the Ducati Desmosedici been built
* Watch MCN's full test report on the Ducati Desmosedici

The company, called We Rent Motorcycles will rent the motorcycle for $600 a day or $3,800 a week on the condition that it must only be ridden on the road and not on the track.

As well as this you must also have a reference from a reliable source such as a Ducati dealer, weigh less than 250 pounds fully kitted up, ride a Kawasaki ZX-10R to prove you are comfortable on a sports bike and pay a $25,000 deposit by credit card if you are to ride the bike.

The company also have the CAN-AM Spyder available for rental, along with several BMW’s and Kawasaki’s GTR1400.

250 pounds is 114kgs, which is a reasonable ask I reckon. $25k deposit by credit card though! :shock: :shock: :shock:
