TESTIMONIALS
Read what our customers have to say about us.
A group of buddies and I rented 7 bikes (6 BMWs and a Suzuki V-Strom) from MotoQuest for a week long tour of Alaska. Every step of the way, from route planning and suggested accommodations to gear and insurance recommendations, the service from MotoQuest was outstanding. The bikes were extremely well maintained and held up to the beating of the Denali Highway and McCarthy Road. It was the trip of a lifetime and I have nothing but the highest regard for the professionals at MotoQuest. Visited July 2016.

Recently picked up a BMW GS 700 from the Portland location for what was supposed to be a trip to the Canadian Rockies. Because I had never rented from Motoquest and because I was not sure of the location ,I visited the shop one day early ! There was my ride for the next 2 weeks; kinda dirty and looking a bit sad and tired ! 9 A.M. the next day I arrive and there is this gleaming bike waiting for me .new chain, sprocket and rear tire .quite the overnight overhaul! The bike performed very well gave me 56 mpg and got me around in style. Never got to the Rockies as it rained all week but Southern Idaho was Great! Visited September 2016.

I spent several months working with the Motoquest main office to setup my rental, a BMW GS800F, for a self-guided trip around Alaska with a buddy of mine. He was riding his Harley from NYC. So, the timing had to be just right so that I could be at the same place, on the same day so that we could head on down the road without either of us playing catch up.
The customer service I received was above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. Truly top shelf! They answered all my questions and were very thoughtful in recommendations for things I may not have even knew to ask about.
When the trip time came, I flew into Anchorage. Once there I called the Anchorage location to let them know I was in town. They suggested I go ahead and come over so we could do paperwork. I ended up sitting there for close to an hour shooting the $&*@ with everyone. They were all very knowledgeable riders, and a lot were experienced in exactly the type of trip I was going to do.
I ran over 1,400 miles on the rental, and I never had a worry about the bike. I did everything from lower speeds for miles of gravel down the Dalton Highway to “the posted speed limit” on the main highways around the state. The bike never had a hiccup…never a sputter. It ran like a scalded dog the entire time and had power to spare. Obviously, not a torque heavy as the v-twins I’m used to, but plenty of get up an go for when you’re pulling out and a truck is barreling toward you doing 65.
I will never hesitate to rent from this company if I’m ever in need of a rental bike. Everything about my experience with them was amazing, and 5 stars isn’t enough. Yelp needs to give a “turn it up to 11” option. Visited August 2016.

“An Exhilarating Northern Patagonia Tour”
This is one of those ‘must do’ bucket-list type tours that simply knocks your socks off! My husband and I shared this thrilling experience on our separate bikes with two couples (from South Africa and Canada respectively) and new-found friends from Canada, Denmark and the USA. We started our tour in Chile, crossed over into beautiful Argentina and ended back in glorious Chile. The riding was excellent – we had the opportunity to notch up some experience on gravel roads which was fairly technical at times, and the chance to enjoy riding at faster speeds through twisty paved road sections. Our guide, John Isenberg, led the tour with consummate skill both as a rider and an organiser. A buckled wheel from a river-crossing posed no problem for the support expert, Jeff, and ensured that we could complete the tour on our bikes. We loved every minute from surveying the world from Osorno Volcano, to viewing the penguins off Chiloe Island to enjoying the magical surroundings of an Argentine Estancia! John pushed us to the edge of our comfort zones and sometimes beyond by taking us through some challenging riding terrains but always looked after our safety. The accommodation varied from complete luxury to one quite dodgy hotel in a great riding zone, but this variation somehow added spice to the trip. The restaurants we ate at also varied: from top-end establishments to low cost, small-town cafés but we were never disappointed with our meals. There was lots of fun and laughs, often initiated by John and Jeff, which added to the memories. The 10 days on the tour really did provide a unique experience and it is certainly the best way to experience the stunningly beautiful lake regions of both Chile and Patagonia – on your bike with the wind in your face, the thrill of breath-taking views all around you and the open road in front of you.

Hi Phil,
Just a quick note to tell you we had a great time in Peru. It’s truly a great place to ride and we had a great experience. Ben did a great job, he’s a very conscientous guide. He really worked hard to ensure we all had a great time. Looking forward to our next adventure…. Best Rita and Dan Visited May 2016

I rented a BWM R1200RT from MotoQuest to use for the weekend. I can’t say enough about these guys! The price was very reasonable. They opened at 9am, they had the bike ready to go, clean, gassed up, and they were very helpful walking me through the options (this bike has a lot of technology loaded on it). They have an area to park you car that is safe. When I returned the bike today, the staff was friendly and attentive. They even shook my hand and said “thank you”. It’s me who should me thanking them! Well done MotoQuest! I’ll be back.

These guys are awesome. I rented a BWM F 700 GS from Long Beach to ride up to San Francisco. Kelly in LB was very friendly and accommodating and even gave me an accidental discount deal 😉 for my 2 day rental. They even gave me route suggestions and restaurant stops to hit on the way up. They were very flexible on the scheduling of my arrival time and provided me all the bags and straps I needed as well as a helmet. Their drop off fee was very reasonable as well.
Will definitely use them again next time I decided to trot all the way up to Anchorage, AK. I’d highly recommend them over EagleRider.

I’m a British/Australian citizen and came to live in California. Unfortunately for me, even though I have been riding for years all over the World, the law over here is that if you want a Californian driving license, you have to take your driving tests again! Bike and car!
I needed a bike to rent for 2 days so I could take my test so approached these guys. They looked after me like I was their best and only customer from the moment I called them. Their bikes are all very well maintained and they have loads of choice.
I would recommend MotoQuest to anyone wanting to rent just for the weekend or for a couple of weeks touring; they really are awesome!

I rented a Suzuki VStrom 650 in San Francisco and drove it one-way to Long Beach along the Pacific Coast Highway.
After starting off a little rough when I showed up at their old location instead of their newer one, I was geared up and off. The bike itself was beautiful and in great condition. They were also kind enough to lend us riding jackets and helmets for the trip.
The coast was beautiful and we didn’t run into any poor weather along the way. We reached their location in Long Beach without any issues.
I hope to rent from them again either in Alaska or another one of their locations. It’s really hard to beat the option to rent in one location and drop off in another.
Thanks guys — see you next time!
