Hi Russy,
Yes I have rented a few Harleys whilst in Orlando.
I used to get them from AMV twin up near the Belz outlets, but they have stopped rented for a little while.
Orlando Harley Davidson on I drive, the one off Conroy Road, or the new shop on the 192 do them.
You are looking at around $139 per day, plus a deposit (authorisation on your card) for about $1000.
I ride a Vmax at home, can't afford a Harley.:cool:

You won't regret it Russy.
It really depends of what style you like and what distance you want to travel on it.
My first Harley was a (don't laugh) Fat Boy, which was really good round the town but on the open road the solid wheels caught the crosswinds and could catch you unawares. It wasn't bad just moved across the lane a bit. Also it had no fairing or windshield so at 70mph I was glad I had worked my arms at the gym - sitting upright with the wind on your chest can be tiring.
After that I always rented fuel injected Road Kings which had windshields and they were so much more comfortable. The seat was also better.
You get a helmet with the rental, although I never wore it. Take your earplugs with you, the first time I rented I was nearly deaf by the time I reached Daytona Beach.

Enjoy.
