Why rent a motorbike in Georgia?
Georgia is a paradise for any adventurous rider. From the volcanic plateaus of Javakheti to the mountain passes of the Greater Caucasus, the wild beauty of this small country will amaze you. In our book EXPLORE GEORGIA you will find a selection of 24 off-road routes throughout the country. The motorcycle will give you a unique feeling of freedom and will attract the curiosity of the locals.
Some rental companies are specialised in renting trail-type motorbikes with all the camping equipment to travel independently.
If you wish to rent a motorcycle in Georgia, we recommend that you arrange this in advance. Despite there being ever more agencies, the demand is still greater than the supply, especially in the tourist season (July-August)
What Are the Road Conditions and Safety Issues in Georgia?
The roads connecting the main cities of Georgia are paved. You won’t need a trail-type motorbike to get to the main towns (Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Batumi, etc). Although a lot of work has been carried out in recent years to improve the state of the road network, you should still travel carefully. The roads can be deteriorated by potholes, bumps and debris. Even on sections where the roads have just been finished, we do not recommend that you drive too fast. Moreover, Georgians drive dangerously.
When you leave the main roads, you will be on dirt and gravel tracks where the conditions are very variable. To help you, we have classified the routes of the book EXPLORE GEORGIA by difficulty levels, from 1 to 5. As some routes are poorly maintained, their degree of difficulty may vary according to the weather and recent flooding or landslides. If in doubt about an itinerary, you can ask it in our facebook group Overland Georgia.
In general, ride slowly because danger can spring from anywhere, especially the large amount of animals that roam freely in Georgia. Beware of sheepdogs which can be very aggressive in Georgia. It is best to avoid passing near shepherd’s camps.
Which bike is best for your trip in Georgia?
There are very few motorbikes in Georgia, unless in the large towns (Tbilisi, Kutaisi, Batumi, etc.). But the rental market is developing very fast!
If you want to stay on the main, paved roads, then any type of motorbike will be appropriate. But as we have said, beware of potholes, bumps and other defects that the road may have.
For riding on Georgian tracks, we strongly recommend a light and powerful trail-type motorbike and off-road tyres. The biggest difficulty is the mud. Dirt tracks can quickly turn into quagmires. Beware of forest paths, where the ground remains wet for several days after a rainy spell. Also note that conditions can become extreme with snow and slippery roads, especially when riding over mountain passes.
Don’t forget that in addition to your own weight, you also have to add the weight of your equipment and any fuel reserves, which can quickly make the bike heavier and slower.
Find the best motorcycle rental companies in Tbilisi
The majority of rental agencies are located in the capital of Georgia, Tbilisi. There are not many rental companies, but the market is growing. We advise you to book in advance. Here is a selection of serious and professional rental companies in Tbilisi with local price.

Motorcycle rental companies in Kutaisi
There are more and more flights to Kutaisi, so hiring a motorbike there could be a good idea!
Lukasz – A legendary enduro bike, the yamaha 600xt
Lukasz is a passionate rider. He has a fleet of yamaha 600xt and 660 XTR, the perfect bike for driving off road and on road 😉
These motorcycles, produced since 2004, are not high-performance enduros, which means that they are not so demanding in maintenance. However, they are handy and also suitable for shorter people, thanks to the saddle height of 860 mm. The XT is a hybrid of a touring motorcycle and an off-road bike. It will take you wherever you want, also off road. Luggage is not a problem, and you won’t complain after driving a few kilometers on asphalt.
Why? The Yamaha drives quite dynamically, it is light but stable. He is such a faithful pack horse.
Lukasz speaks English. He will help you to make this trip unforgettable!
Delivery in Kutaisi.

Lukasz has two versions of this bike: the Yamaha XT 660R and the Yamaha XT 600 with electric starter. The XT600 version has a higher saddle (875mm) compared to the XT660 R (865mm).
