Motorbike rental

[rathcoole_exile]

I'm leaving the Big Mango for a week's business in Phuket, staying at Kamala.
Anywhere reputable to hire a bike, preferably a Fireblade or similar ?
I've searched a lot on the www but all I can seem to find is places offering scooters for hire.
thanks in advance, R_E

Don't know about Kamala but there are still big bike rentals companies in Patong.I have seen a few fireblades zooming around this week.

You might find it hard(maybe impossible) to get a 954RR or 1000RR Fireblade,or something similar.
But blenty of 250`s and 400`s available in Patong.
Not sure about Kamala.Maybe you can look around when you get there,or ask a motorbike taxi driver who speaks English to take you somewhere where you can get one.

Believe me,the way the roads are in that area,or the whole island,you don`t need any more than a 400.

BTW,where is the Big Mango?
Sounds like something that should be in Australia,but i don`t recall one there.

Thanks, I guess I will have to just take a wander around and see what I can find.

btw, Big Mango = Bangkok
I think it's a bit naff and it's the first time I've ever used it as a nickname for the city, now I wish I hadn't
