That would depend if your Int Lic has the motorcycle option ticked. Also I believe you would have to be above 21yrs. And the rental agency should allow....But I am not 100% sure about this!! I am well above 21 yrs :D so I guess thats taken care of. I will get the international license done this wee...

Do give a serious thought to my suggestion about adding a motorcycle section to your website.

Hi Folks, I have accepted a job offer in Dubai and will there in February. I was there recently on a visit and drove a rental car. I have an Indian driving license which is not valid in UAE. Do i need to take driving lessons right from scratch? Also can i apply for a car as well as a bike license si...

Hiren you will need to attend 40 classes from the driving schools and then pass the garage, signal and road test. You will need to first apply either a car and a bike licence and then the other From what I've heard, you can only rent a car on a international licence on a visit visa Darn! Just what ...

I live in Uptown Mirdif, work (9:00) on Zayed Rd (API World Tower), drive a reliable Ford Focus and was wondering about any car pooling possibilities. Any takers? Hey, My sister too stays in uptown Mirdiff (lovely place) and takes the Sheikh Zayed Rd. I will ask her if she is interested. Thanks

Honda seems to be the most common bikes around.

There goes my ZX6R .. Any reasons why Kawasaki shut shop? No buyers?? If true then its such a shame...

I just spoke to my sister and she wants to have a word with you regarding the car pool. Can I have your mobile number?

Does this mean 40 hrs of car...then, another 40 hrs of bike???!!! :shock: Geez.... So, how much is this all gonna cost me!!!!!!!??????? :? My question exactly!! I've heard that it costs around 3k DHS per license. I'm not really sure though ... Hoping for some other experienced forumer to reply.

the Nekkid Yamaha 600 will be the perfect bike for you Dhs 34000 from the showroom brand new ! 8) Keith, The Yamaha FZ6 and Suzuki GSR600 are around 30k DHS. The rates are from the showroom near Musaffa in Abu Dhabi. The sales rep also promised a discount if I decide to buy a bike from them. The ne...

In the region of 32K +..Have you ever ridden a 600cc + bike before....If not I would suggest you start with a 400cc or lower bike.... I'll answer this as I think its pointing at me :) I have ridden a bike for a real long time (12+ years), not a 600 or a sports bike though. I am from India and these...

Adding to my previous post.
I liked the Yamaha FZ6 and the Suzuki GSR600. Not too powerful, decent handling etc.
Does anyone have any views on these 2 bikes?
The reviews on the internet seem to be quite favorable.

Just my 2 Fils again!!!! Both the gixxer and the Yam pack a mean punch.....40 BHP as compared to 120 BHP....That is a large large jump... Plus taking into consideration that you have never ridden on the UAE roads.....I can only suggest you go for a 400cc...There are plenty of stores in Shj. if requ...

There's nothing wrong in getting a bigger cc bike as long as u really get used to it the first 2-3 months before 'redlining' it. I started with a ZZR600 a couple of years back & now I'm getting my knees down at the twisties. But if u're not very confident, I think a 600 naked is ok but not a 60...

Neat bike that!! But I doubt if its available in Dubai.

25000 for a 600RR? are you serious. that's like $6800 US. Is that right? that price is like 10 years ago for a current 600 in the US. 25000 DHS would be for a used CBR600RR, post 2003 model year. A brand new 600 super sport should set you back around 42-44000 DHS. I had enquired the prices of R6 in...

I am also a MotoGP and F1 fan and would love to know which channels show these motorsports.
The 2007 F1 season starts as early as 18th of March.

Cheers

Dude...managed to rent a bike in Dubai yet? Nopes I had to go back to India in a hurry. Since then I have managed to get a job in Dubai and will be landing there on 25th Feb. But now I cant rent a bike there as I will not be on a visit visa. So Will now need to get a license done ASAP. Regards, Hiren

Looks like there aren't many F1 fans in Dubai.

I hope so too. Checked out Emirates Driving Institute for motorcycle training: 18 classes and motorcycle refreshment course 8 classes.

Fingers crossed that I am eligible for the refreshment course.

beaujarle wrote:Got your bike license????

Yes, 1994 in India
Reaching Dubai this sunday, hopefully the license should come soon.

Hi there, Legally there's only one channel in UAE that shows MotoGP and F1 this year that is Al Jazeera sports... but it's in arabic commentary and sadly only MotoGP is shown and not 125/250cc category... aarrrrghhh!!! Cool, thanks for this. Will need to check them out. And what about other than 'l...

Thanks a ton XTY. I will do this ASAP.
