In January this year, I paid Rp 20,000 per day as the bike was a 2005 model Honda stepthrough with a semi-automatic gearbox. I did not bother buying insurance from the hirer. An automatic scooter would have cost me Rp 25,000 per day.
I brought my own helmet and gloves from Australia. I wore lots of suncreen on my face and neck. I also wore elastic sided boots and a thick long sleeved shirt. I also had an International Drivers License endorsed for motorcycles.
