Help required re hiring a bike in UK - SV650.org

Im going to be in Newcastle for a week or so over Christmas and want a bike for a few days. Riding up from London is not an option.

Cant find anyone who rents bikes other than a Harley place for £175 per day with £1000 XS!!

Ive looked at renting bikes here before and not found anything really. Anyone else? You could just spend a few days test riding loads of different bikes!

True. But for the second 150 miles you'll be on the fastest vehicle on the road, a motorbike that isn't yours...

but I'd have to drive from Newcastle to London, get get the train to manchester, ride back to Newcastle, have the bike for a few days, ride back to Manchester to return it and get the train back to Newcastle before driving back to London!

Yeah, be alright if you get something comfy. Northumberland roads are awesome.
