Yamaha FZ6R. It did the job well enough for me and my girlfriend on the back. There are some fantastic roads on Maui here with no tourists if you know where to go.

Wait. Renting motorcycles is a thing? This sounds like an excellent way around my wife’s no motorcycles rule.

There were small local companies that did rentals but I ended up going with Eagle Rider who has locations all across the USA. They didn’t have all the gear I wanted but otherwise really easy experience.

Haha that is the hood of my rental Sentra. Although I went through that exact spot with the FZ6R, it’s on my GoPro, need to sort through the footage.

Yup, did most of highway 37 south and across west until the road conditions got dicy. Heading west from the north (Hana Hwy) is a massive tourist trap and I did a chunk in the rental car before realizing the views just weren’t going to compare. Also people don’t understand how to use the road pullouts and it’s extremely frustrating to be stuck behind a Jeep doing 20 mph the entire way.

The bike itself was $169 for the day. Some bigger Harleys go for $199. Add on some gear, insurance, and tax, it works out to around $250. Not cheap... But so worth it.
