I'll be in Phoenix the last week of October and was thinking about renting a bike for a day or two while I was there. I know there is a shop in Phoenix, but I was thinking of riding more in the Prescott-Williams area and avoid metro Phoenix. Looking for a sport-tour (thats what I ride), the wife wants to try a wing.

I can understand why you wouldn't want to ride in Phoenix. I live in Flagstaff and we have one bike rental place that just opened but they only rent harleys. It seems the european tourists all want to ride a harley in the wild west. As far as I know in Sedona its the same. You might have to rent in Phoenix because thats where you'll find more choices of bikes. Good luck.
