You can catch a taxi from the airport.
If you are staying at the Novotel, then a driver from the hotel can pick you up from the airport.
If Perama has at least two passengers, they can pick you up from the airport and then take you from their depot in Mataram to Kuta Lombok. They of course follow their timetable.
I did not see any motorcycle hire places near the airport. I would not recommend riding at night in Lombok as there are no street signs or lighting.
Personally, I wouuld stay at the Herta Yoga Hotel in Mataram and catch a Perama bus to Kuta Lombok next day. The hotel and the Perama depot are very close.
Many people in Kuta Lombok will approach you to rent out their motorcycle. i hired one from a driver working at the Kuta Lombok Novotel.
