About Cairns Motorcycle Hire
Based at Smithfield in the northern beaches, Cairns Motorcycle Hire rents well-prepared adventure and dual-sport motorcycles for exploring the spectacular roads of Far North Queensland — and also runs its own guided adventure tours. The hire fleet centres on big, capable touring bikes: the Yamaha MT-09 (from $195/day), the Yamaha XT1200Z Super Ténéré and Honda Africa Twin CRF1000L (from $210/day), and the Suzuki V-Strom 650 XT. A free collection and drop-off shuttle runs from Palm Cove and the Cairns CBD, making it easy to start your ride without your own transport. Riders consistently praise the quality of the bikes and the warm welcome, with rides out to the Atherton Tablelands, the Kuranda ranges and down through Gordonvale singled out as highlights.
