I want to rent a Versys. From where?

I'm seriously considering this bike to use as a tourer and maybe everyday use. I'm not sure I'd like it though so was thinking of renting one to see how it goes first. Does anyone have any idea who rents one anywhere in UK? I've found a company in Cornwall but they haven't got back to me yet. Anywhere else?

I'm thinking of renting mid May for a week or ten days and spend them exploring the countryside . If anyone can lend a hand in this search I'd be glad. Lozzo is already helping out checking with his mates and mates of mates So thanks Lozzo. Of course he's happy to have his black Versys clan expanding a bit LOL.

George White's in Swindon, and also a company in Liverpool. But I don't know if either do the Versys.

Need to combine with a holiday in Scotland though...

I'm sending a mail to Perthmics Ralph, Thanks mate! It's a bit lofty at 80 sterling p/day but they said discounts are available over 3 days.

Hey Bri, you wouldn't have url's of the companies you mentioned would you. I'm having a hard time finding them mate.

George White, can't help with Liverpool.

Mr Shonadoll has a versys, I'm sure he'd lend it too you...

Hi Tiger55, thanks for the George White URL. Are you guys sure they rent as well as there doesn't seem to be any mention of that on there site. I've mailed them an inquiry just the same. Looks like it's a lovely shop that. I wouldn't mind visiting, These fully equipped bike shops are a big lure aren't they? I'd get lost in there and stay for hours.

Yep: http://www.georgewhite.co.uk/?sectio...able_bike_hire

The list there is a 'selection' of the bikes they hire so maybe they do the Versys, maybe not, you'd have to buzz 'em.

( would prefer Ralph's idea of Scotland though )

ask Lozzo nicley........

sits back ....

Lozzo is a nice guy and he already told me I could take his for a spin. I'm not comfortable doing that though. I don't feel it's right. Problem is these Versys are not that popular to rent so its hard finding one. They're also more expensive to rent, 30 quid more a day in fact then the same engined ER-6n! Don't know why? Harder to repair maybe in case of damage?
