Motorcycle rental options in Alanya, Turkey

Erling
I prefer two wheels over four any day. Got a car for winter when the roads are garbage, but summer's all about the bike. Heading to Turkey soon, Alanya specifically, and I want to cruise around all the interesting spots out there with some wind in my face. The weather's already pretty much summer there, so it's perfect riding season. Are there places where I can rent a motorcycle for a week or so?

Desperado
Nice, Alanya's solid for riding, tons of coastal routes and you can actually feel the sun instead of being trapped in some air-conditioned box. Just watch out for rental places that hand you a beat-up bike and act surprised when something breaks. Some shops out there run their fleet into the ground and then try to pin the damage on you when you bring it back. Check what kind of bikes they've got available first, make sure it's something you're comfortable handling, not some 600cc monster if you're used to cruising on something smaller.

Yummy
Finding a rental spot that's not running scuffed bikes held together with zip ties is the real challenge in tourist towns. Half these places don't do basic maintenance and you end up with something that sounds like it's about to fall apart mid-ride. You can rent a motorbike in Alanya here https://getrentacar.com/en-US/motorcycle-rental/turkey-alanya . The bikes there are kept in working order, pick what suits you, sort the deposit and paperwork, then head out exploring the coast without stressing about breakdowns or getting scammed on the return.
