The bike was quite ok but the front brakes shaked a little when braking.
Can anyone recommend me some reliable bike renthal shops? (Address?) I understand that no one gives anykind of insurance for example in case of bike theft or vandalism?
I appreciate all responses!

Hi mate
Ive had the very same bike on hire, it shuddered with me also. I reported it to him on it's return
Me and dirty mike (Mike GB) also hired Honda CBR1000 fireblades from there, whcih were fine
They also have quite a few new bikes e.g. Yam R6, Honda CBR600 & Kawasaki Z1000 streetbike
Take the bike for quick run, if something isnt right take it back straight away!!!!
also its a good idea to give them a photocopy of your passport rather than the original
For me this is still the best place to hire serious bkes, I would stay well away from the hirers near ther beach
As for Harley's I would ban them from Phuket all the bloddy things do is make a noise which is quite off putting when Im trying to get drunk
