MC Rentals on Oahu, HI?

[Rincewind]

Does anyone have experience with MC Rental Companies on Oahu?  Preferable that it is not just HD's available.  My family will be staying in Kailua but I don't mind traveling to Waikiki.  I have rented before on the Big Island but never on Oahu.  Thanks!

So far I have found: http://www.cruzinhawaii.com (has Triumph Bonnies)

http://www.bigkahunarentals.com/ (has a few BMW's)

I talked with big kahuna but didn't rent because their prices used to be much higher.

I'd go for the 8 hour rental and ride around the island.  It's not big enough to need it for more than that unless you plan to spend lots of time stopped.  Instead of taking the Pali hwy across the middle take as many of the side streets next to it as you can.  Amazing.

I'm not sure yet how long we will rent the bike(s).  We may rent two of them depending on how things work out.  If the difference is only $25 for 24hr versus 9hr, it may make the logistics easier to go 24hrs.  

I would love to do an entire loop of the island.  I have done most of the loop in a car a few times, but have never done the section between 930 and 93 in the NW corner of the Island.  Google maps shows this as unpaved.  I will have to consult with my kama'aina.

Only problem with the 24 hour is if you don't have a place to park it overnight and end up having to pay for a garage it can be expensive.

We are staying at my father-in-law's B&B, so parking is not a problem.

Definitely go for the 24 hour then.    I had to do the 8 hour scooter rentals when I was there since I didn't trust to leave it in front of the section 8 apartment the guy was illegally subletting to me (only found out it was section 8 after I sent him the deposit and showed up).
