You need to narrow down your destination and itinerary considerably; at least to one of the major metro areas:

(N->S)

Seattle
Portland
San Francisco
Los Angeles
San Diego

There are too many options to give you a helpful response at this point.

Here's a list of California-based rental companies:

I don't know when the list was updated, so some of the links may not exist anymore.

I recall names like Street Rider, Eagle Rider.
Probably best bet is google ~ "rent motorcycle, XYZ City"

May / June is a great time frame for west coast visit.   enjoy

We used California Motorcycle Adventures.  They have several shops in California and have several different large capacity sport touring bikes to choose from.  We were pleased with their service and the condition of the 1200RT we rented.

Years ago before I lived in San Francisco I rented from and had a good experience with http://www.dubbelju.com/.

eagleriders.com rents all sorts of bikes.

In LA they rent BMWs, Kawis etc as well as Harleys.
