So maybe riding a small bike/scooter is alloved on any car-license, but riding the big bikes are more seriously checked by the police?
But the quality of the rental bikes is terrible!
Worn out shocks, drive-chain, bearings!
You have to really check before you take the bike out, if it is roadworthy at all!

Right ! I bought a little toolkit and did nearly a full overhaul on the road. The renters think if it fires up, it's good. Turned the bike in well tuned and repaired never even got a thank you.
