At the Lombok airport there is a Taxi counter soon after your collect your baggage and pass customs. You can get a prepaid taxi there.
You can also walk out of the airport premies and then negotiate with one of the taxis waiting outside. If you can speak bahasa Indonesia, you can get a fair deal.
I will not rent a motor bike there to ride for an hour to Kuta. I would recommend you look up Mimpi Manis a home stay in Kuta. Like Balitravelforum, there is one "Lombok Lovers" with information.
