Why not just renting??
We are helping riders to have their dream tours in Europe for quite some time now, and our goal is to make motorcycle tours more accessible to all riders.
We detected that the main pain factors are TIME and COST.
Time
Most of us can not effort more than 10 days away from the family or our day job. Not more than once a year - at best.
That's why our thumb rule is to pack a lot of fun in minimum days of riding when we plan our tours.
Cost
Our second goal is to make the tours affordable to all riders. Riding vacation shouldn't be a luxury spoil that will cost your kidneys.
The main expense in multi-days tour is the motorcycle itself. The rental cost can vary from 60-200 euro per day. This cost accumulate FAST.
Real riders knows:
The fun of the tour does not come from the exact model or type of motorcycle you rented. It's the ride itself.
Different motorcycle will give you different riding experience - but it will always be FUN to ride!
Why buying in Greece?
The Greek motorcycle market is a special ecosystem that provides amazing deals for motor-heads like us.
Greeks LOVE motorcycles. almost everyone has at least one at home, even if it is used only in weekends to go for coffee with friends or to get to the beach. hence you can find motorcycles for sale, in amazing condition, with low kilometers count, even if they are 15 or 30 years old. Yes. you heard that right. it's heaven for motor-heads-barn-diggers, without the need for a shovel or the barn.
What about the price? well, in a big market the prices get low. sometimes "get me 2" kind of low.
And on top of that - in the last years, all major Chinese manufacturers have using Greece as the entry point to Europe market, so you can find all the NEW amazing models in dirty-low competitive prices.

How it works?
Step 1
Find you love

Car.gr is the most complete automotive marketplace of the Greek market, but sure you can find your motorcycle in other places, like FB-marketplace or even from your Greek friends. The motorcycle must be not older than 12 years, or it can be antique (more than 30 years).
You can contact the seller and ask for information or more images, or you can let us do the preliminary check for you. When you think you found the right match - move to step 2.
Step 2
Contact us
Contact us to sign an agreement and pay a deposit, in order to start the process of checking and purchasing the motorcycle you want.
It will be smart to let us physically check the motorcycle for you, Although Greece is a big country, and sometimes it is almost impossible or just not worth it.
The added cost of our preliminary check is based on the motorcycle location etc. see our service price table.
We will contact the seller and start with getting you the full information about the motorcycle along with any local advice about the seller or the motorcycle. known issues, availability of parts etc.
We will also negotiate the price for you, in case the seller is asking a price we find to be too high according to the market. everything will be done with fully transparency to you and with your full consent. as per our agreement.
Step 3
We buy it, You ride it!
None Greek citizens can NOT purchase a Greek vehicles. yes, you heard right. and before you will ask again - we will say it again - yes. you can buy a property, have a tax number and a bank account, but NO, you can not own a motorcycle.
