    Not done it myself but a mate of mine has, as there's a superbike hire place not far from us. The hire rates were ok but he wasn't too chuffed with the £2,000 hold they put on his credit card for insurance/liability, which sort of spoils your enjoyment somewhat. If you can pay for an excess waiver then that would be a help.

    sportsbike hire

    Check out spyderclub.co.uk
    I was a member for two years and enjoyed some great bikes. You can use the membership to take one of their bikes on the continent fully insured. Give Mark or Lizzie a call they will be happy to explain the deal (0845 2000 868).
    And no, I'm not on commission!

    crikey! £350 for a week is a good price. What is the name of the Romford outfit offering it?
