BMW rental in Utah / Idaho / Montana area ?

[tjtraver]

Does anyone know where I could rent a BMW 650 (or GS) in this general area ?

Business and family commitments don't allow me the time to ride my K75 out and back from NY , so am looking to rent a bike. The BMW 650 would be ideal .

I'm looking to do trip in June '07.
The plan is to do a big loop , hopefully riding a many secondary dirt roads .
( so not suited for Harley Davidson rentals , which are readily available )

Thanks for any leads ... Todd

Fred and Henry at Big Twin would be the ones to speak with. Very knowledgeable guys.

Eagle Rider in Salt Lake City. They're listed as Harley rentals but they have BMW's if you ask. I rented an R1200RT last summer but don't remember if they had a 650.

Thanks for the leads , but hear's the status so far ...

SLC Eagleriders has doesn't have any BMW on/off road variety bikes .

SLC is no longer owned by the Eagleriders franchise that they used to share bikes with , so they can't get an existing BMW brought in. Though they may be buying 1 themselves but they are not sure yet and won't know until April .

I called Fred at Big Twin and he wasn't aware of any place in the area renting dual sport bikes ( of any type ).

So far I'm '0H for two ... but am still looking ... will post anything I find.
