RetroVentures Motorcycle Tours & Rental Ireland

An Unforgettable Ride – Thanks to Chris and Elaine! Our motorcycle tour around Ireland was nothing short of spectacular – and that’s in no small part thanks to Chris and Elaine at Retro Ventures. From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make our trip one to remember. Their bikes were perfect, the planning was seamless, and their local knowledge added so much to the experience. But what really stood out was their personal touch – checking in, offering tips, and making sure we had everything we needed every step of the way. It felt less like a rental and more like being looked after by old friends. If you’re thinking of riding through Ireland, stop thinking and book with Retro Ventures. Chris and Elaine, thank you for helping us create memories that will last a lifetime. We’ll be back!

If you are thinking of renting a motorcycle in Ireland, absolutely do it. And absolutely do it here. Chris and Elaine are a delight to deal with. I had to make some changes to my reservation, no problem. Quickly dealt with. I rented a Himalyan and it was perfect for Ireland. Some roads are so narrow, they would be classed as footpaths elsewhere. The Himilayan is light enough for easy turns when you run out of road, yet has enough pep to keep up with all traffic. Handling is excellent and the suspension easily dealt with the occasionally challenging roads. Decent range and easy on gas (I was getting 60 to 70mpg). The bike I rented had low mileage (5k kms I think) and was in perfect condition. I was dubious about the phone holder (I'm dubious about all phone holders 😁), but in fairness it held my over size phone with no issues when I needed to use it. I rented the armored jacket and pants, no problem with leaks and the venting came in handy. The jackets don't have back protectors, but I think they are available for sale. The panniers are on the smaller side, but useful for filtering past traffic. The top case can fit a full size modular helmet. I'm already planning my next rental from then

Came from the US to ride around Ireland with a group of 13 other riders. Chris and Elaine were fantastic and able to accommodate our every request. Over 2,000km trip and would rent from them again in a heartbeat.

I just completed a ride with 12 buddies around all of Ireland. 2,048km over the week and every single bike was perfect for the whole trip. Chris and Elaine were so kind, thoughtful and knowledgable. Gear rentals were great, and their shop was well stocked. I purchased an armored hoodie while I was there, and it will be my go to as I get back home. 10/10, I cannot recommend them enough

What can I say - Chris and Elaine are just the best! We rented 13 bikes for 7 days and did all 4 corners of Ireland. They were so kind and generous, helping us with gear/route suggestions and more. You can tell they are riders too. The rental gear selection is top notch. The bikes were incredible, we all fell in love with them. The royal enfields are magical on Irish roads. 2000km with no issues whatsoever.
