MotoShare: it's a motorcycle time share program...
MCN Link
Do you want a motorcycle, but don't want the stress of maintenance, insurance, or storage? Now you can with MotoShare in Los Angeles and New York! http://www.jupitersmotoshare.com http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2563/...7f7083e6b6.jpg For $1,999 per year, subscribers to Jupiter’s Motorcycles “MotoShare” scheme have access to a range of seven motorcycles, including the BMW R1200GS, BMW F800ST, Triumph Speed Triple and the Triumph Bonneville. The firm currently operate from their base in Brooklyn, New York, and also run a similar scheme in Los Angeles. They have plans to expand into San Franciso, and London would be on the shortlist for any international plans. The $1,999 “Weekend Warrior” fee includes three days of rental per month, with the $3,199 “Rough Rider” option allowing six per month, while the $4,999 “Street Demon” class allows twelve. The firm are keen to point out that even these fees pale in comparison to the costs of maintenance, insurance and parking for riders in the big apple. Whether the convenience of renting can prise American bikers away from owning their own wheels remains to be seen. http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m.../motoshare.jpg Jupiter’s MotoShare is an exclusive club – and in many ways, you’re already a member. You don’t have a proper space for storage, or the time you’d like for maintenance. Perhaps life demands that you remain an infrequent rider, or you’re finding it harder to justify the expense of owning a motorcycle in a seasonal climate. Maybe you’re bi-coastal, splitting your life between New York and L.A. No matter the reason, it could put you in the company of those who are not spending tens of thousands of dollars on a motorcycle they hardly ride every year. These riders spend less than half that price and get to ride one anyway, with MotoShare. Jupiter’s MotoShare allows you access to a variety of superior motorcycles, all while avoiding the hassle of ownership. What do you get when you take away storage, maintenance and insurance? It’s simple, and it’s what you’ve wanted from the beginning – Just the Ride. |

Cool in theory - but pretty much only applies to the wealthy folks who can't decide which bike to buy.
Besides, I ride way more than that. :p |
