Motorcycle models available in Lyon

We offer a range of motorcycle models available for rent in Lyon, suited to all types of riders, from locals looking for urban mobility to travelers wishing to explore the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.

With their mid-range engine size, they offer the perfect balance between comfort and performance, ideal for rides along the banks of the Rhône, on the winding roads of the Alps, or on getaways to the Beaujolais region. They are also suitable for trips to Grenoble, Chambéry, or the roads of Savoie.

For motorcycle enthusiasts and thrill seekers, choose models ranging from 850cc to 1300cc. Requiring an A license, these motorcycles are designed for experienced riders ready to tame powerful machines. They are ideal for long trips in the Rhône-Alpes region, mountain passes, or a trip to Mont Ventoux via Provence.
