- Enjoying Riding the hills of Tassie I booked a BMW GS F700 for 7 days. Phil worked with me to choose the best bike for my ride as well as reviewing my route and recommending changes to make the ride experience ever better. I will be back one day and will be telling all my ride buddies about Phil’s company. David.David L10/01/2026See Tasmania on Motorcycles and Rent from Phil! We recently spent 10 days on motorcycles rented from Phil of Tasmanina Motorcycle Tours and Rentals and had an absolute blast. Phil was so accomodating from the booking through to the end of our travels. He communicated with me multiple times about my concerns with the height of the F800GS (I'm 5 foot 1 inch), allowed us to add handle bar risers onto the bike temporarily, gave us advise about what not to miss on our ride, picked us up and re-delivered us back to our places of lodging, and even loaned me the inner bags for the Givi Vario boxes (which I loved and went home and bought for my bike there). You can't ask for a better guy. His depot is sited close to Hobart making an easy jaunt to pick up bikes and return them and he has a lot of bikes so you are sure to find one to suit you. If you are considering a tour around Tasmania don't waste another minute thinking about it! We loved every minute of our time there. It is a motorcyclist dream with minimal traffic, non-aggressive drivers, and twisties everywhere. Thanks Phil and hope we get to do it again!!!!! Jill and Dana. North Caroline USATatonkatoy16/11/20256 days 'behind bars': weaving through the Tarkine TMTR does it again! This is my 3rd trip around Tas with TMTR and the service just keeps getting better. Fantastic range of bikes and gear options to choose from, a dedicated space to pack / unpack and a team of people with the knowledge and experience to make it seem 'easy' - what more can we ask for?The 1250 Beemer ran like clockwork, averaging 330kms a day around the west coast roads. Thanks Phil and Christine - I am already wasting worktime mapping out next years route.Warren R14/01/2025Tasmania. Epic. Been back a couple of weeks so its all sunk in a bit. Word to all potential visitors to Tasmnia looking for a good bike, i'm 100% recommending Phil's place. Tasmania is epic all on its own, but Phil has some great, well maintained bikes and stacks of gear (check sizes first) so you dont have to carry all your stuff halfway round the world before the event. On top of that, his knowledge of the place wad invaluable. Thanks again, Phil. Hopefully we'll be back again 👍🏻----Dave T05/12/2024It was a Goodie The organisation and trip suggestions were well thought out. It’s like they built the roads for motorcycle travel. Lots of corners with little traffic to contend with as soon as you leave any built up areas. Thanks Phil for organising sunshine, excellent bikes and accom. We all enjoyed ourselves.Alan G15/11/2024Great biking experience, made seamless by TMTR I had a thoroughly enjoyable trouble-free week touring WestTasmania on a Triumph Tiger 800. TMTR were excellent and I especially appreciated the airport pick-up and drop-off, which made the whole experience seamless. This was my second trip to Tasmania and there is much more to explore - no road is boring and I love the traffic-free twisties.Paul W10/11/2024Tamanian Motorcycle Hire Best Experience The attention to detail was phenomenal. We did over $2000 klm on these bikes without a hitch. they picked us up from the hotel and dropped us of they gave fantastic directions via GPS presets. Tasmania has some of the best motorcycle roads in the world. Full credit to Phil for making it so easy. And the fact that no one ran out of Talent 🙂Glenn G20/10/2024Phil was great to deal with and has a great fleet of bikes. Touring Tassy on a bike is one of the best things you can do! My brothers and I only had four days but we took advantage of a week of good weather and covered 1400km. Phil was great to deal with and as we were just hiring the bikes and not doing a guided trip, he gave us a few tips for here and there along the way. I look forward to heading back one day to finish off the bits we didn't have time to see!Pascal Z16/10/2024Amazing service and experience. Phil put together a great trip for my partner and I for 6 nights around Tassie. The bike was well maintained and great to ride, the routes were incredible and the accommodation was clean and quiet. I would definitely recommend speaking to Phil and getting a Tassie motorcycle tour booked. We will definitely be back. Thankshamish burnside25/03/2024Wow, what a fantastic experience! Just finished a 5 day self guided tour with my wife, both riding BMW700GS bikes. Right from my initial enquiries to picking up the bikes Phil was brilliant to deal with and takes care of every detail from route planning to booking accomodation. Simply turn up in Taz with your helmet and gear and off you go stress-free following the bikes gps route. Some of the most memorable riding, scenery and roads I’ve experienced. I highly recommend TMTR. Do yourself a favour and book a tour with them.david woodhead25/03/2024Rented BMW G-310 (and safety gear) for one week; (counter-clockwise) motorbike tour of Tasmania. Great experience, good weather, motorbike in fine condition. One week wasn't enough time, Tasmania has become my favorite part of Australia. Enjoyed working with Phil; anticipate becoming a returning customer. Appreciated airport pick-up and drop-off, shop is less than fifteen minutes away. Phil, thank you for a wonderful experience, best wishes.Garth Monroe25/03/2024Incredible Tassie motorcycle holiday My Partner and I spoke to Phil and booked a 6 night trip with TMTR on a Triumph Tiger 800. Phil was great to deal with, he was very responsive with any questions in my emails and he tailored the trip for us with a few changes that we asked for. Even though it was last minute he managed to organise an awesome trip with great accommodation for us to stay in. The whole route is mapped out on the GPS for you to follow a long, with all the best points of interest added. He gave us many options to choose from with stops for coffee, attractions and meals. The roads in Tasmania are incredible and Phil knows it like the back of his hand. He suggested a day out the saddle at the halfway point to do the Strathgordon river cruise which was an awesome addition and needed break. If you are looking to rent a bike in Tasmania and would like to remove the hassle of organising the trip I would highly recommend speaking to Phil and booking a trip through TMTR. The bike was well maintained and fun to ride, the routes were incredible and the accommodation was clean and quiet which was perfect for us.We had an incredible time and will be keen to do another trip with TMTR in the future.Thank you Phil.Hamish B22/03/2024Epic motorbike touring in Tazzie. Rode some epic routes on a 5 day self guided tour. Phil makes the whole experience stress-free. He will tailor your tour to suit your requirements and has a big selection of bikes to choose from. Some can be fitted with lower seats to suit and all come with programmed gps units, panniers and are set up for touring. He even picks you up to collect your bikes and drops you off afterwards. All your accomodation can be booked by Phil too. An outstanding Tazzie business that deserves its success.david w09/03/2024Best 3 days on a bike The total experience was exceptional from the ever changing landscape and perfect weather but the key to this successful trip was Phil (owner) . His dedication and commitment to ensure all our needs were meet was just outstanding, He operates the business with the highest level of integrity and we will be back again, Job well done Phil.Mark E15/02/2024Phil deserves more 5 star reviews. My wife and I just finished up a four day self guided motorbike trip around south/east Tassie and it was fantastic. Very well thought out routes with plenty of options along the way depending on how much you want to see and how long you want to spend on the bike every day. Thanks Phil, we'll be back soon to see more of Tassie.G02/02/2024Tassie day trip Me and my partner recently hired one of Phil's Triumph Tiger 800's for a day run up the east coast to Swansea and then back down through Campbelltown, Ross ,Oatlands etc. Thoroughly enjoyed it, Awesome roads Spectacular scenery. Highly recommend TMTR and Phil, very easy to deal with and very accommodating to our needs .Thanks again Phil.Mark M19/01/2024Top notch service We completed a 9 day trip around Tasmania yesterday. The self guided tour is an excellent concept. We were 2 up on a bmw 750 / 850 gs with all the Vario luggage. The bike was ideal for Tasmania and ran faultlessly. Phil’s coordination and communication was top notch. We highly recommend Tasmania as a destination and Tmtr for a hassle free enjoyable adventure provider.Ducatist313/12/2023Great 5 days around Tassie John and I rented two Triumph Tiger 800s for 5 days/nights and did a circuit of the island - Hobart, Strahan, Boat Harbour, Coles Bay and back to Hobart. Everything ran smoothly, pick up and drop-off to and from the airport, bike readiness, and of course the bikes themselves. As a 1250GSA rider I wasn't quite sure what to expect of the 800, but I was very happy with its performance and suitability for the job at hand; no issues whatsoever. Phil provided the right degree of support and advice, and our overall experience was excellent - we would use him again.Nick G07/12/2023Last week I rented out a GS Rallye standard suspension from Phil’s strong fleet of bikes for a week wind with a mate who was on the lower suspension version. I was recommended to Phil from another mate who had rented last year. It was a wonderful and stressfree experience from my initial contact to returning the bike. The bike was in very good condition and Phil gave guidance on routes and tips on what to look out for. Phil picked us up from the airport and dropped us back after returning the bikes. On the last day it was 27degC and we needed to freshen up before boarding our flight. Guess what, Phil had a shower with clean towels and toiletries to use. Overall I enjoyed chatting with Phil about riding and other things as well. Keep up the good work Phil. Will see you soon to explore more of TassieVinil C Shekar25/11/20234 Tasmanian Virgins On Tour. 10-day 9-night self-guided tour of Tasmania for 4, on 2 Triumphs Tiger 800's. Brilliant! Phil runs a great business & took great care of us. The Tigers in my view are ideally suited to Tasmanian conditions. The weather was kind to us, the roads are excellent for motorcycling & so much more traffic free compared to Brisbane where I live, the food is excellent, particularly the seafood, the people are friendly & engaging & the public dunnies are generally clean & well maintained. Highlights: The Gorden Dam Road, Stanley & Marlies cafe, the Gordon River cruise & Sara Island & Port Arthur. Would I return? YES! Would I make use of Phil's business again? Yes! After all he is a Triumph man. Cheers Des G.Des G05/11/2023
- I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience using TMTR's services. The team here are very accommodating, even to work with you on the logistics of drop off and pick up, fortunately in my case I had local friends helping me out but had that not been the case Phil was willing to pick me up or organise bike pick up from the airport. The bike itself was a dream to ride and extremely well maintained. I will be using their services again and highly recommend using them to anyone reading!Anton Jukic28/10/2023Only Positives We've rented with TMTR previously and are yet to have something bad to write about, even the weather was perfect during our October 2023 5-day clockwise lap. TMTR have a large range of bikes, perfectly set up with luggage and a Garmin XT GPS. For this experience we settled for a BMW R1250GS Rally each, one low suspension for my low suspension wife and a normal one for me. The trip started well with Phil picking us up from our hotel, we could leave all our non-riding stuff at TMTR, and ended with Phil dropping us off at the airport. We've ridden a lot of the world and Tassie is up there as our favourite place; the riding and the scenery and the accommodation, food, and beverages are simply the best. TMTR allows us to get amongst it without shipping our bikes over, can't thank them enough.Duncan B20/10/202310 Day Self Guided Tour 7 of us from New Zealand hired 5 bikes from Phil for a 10 day self guided tour of Tasmania. From our first contact in August 2022 to determine when 5 suitable bikes would be available, until our drop off at our Hobart accommodation the whole process was easy and straight forward. Phil asked us some questions to determine our likes and dislikes and he ended up providing us with a really detailed printed itinerary offering plenty of dining and attractions advice along with important stuff like “fuel up here”. Alongside the printed itinerary was a daily map and each bike had a GPS unit preprogrammed with the attractions and our each nights stays. We left the accommodation up to Phil to book and they were all of a high standard, and close to, or incorporating a restaurant. Any questions or problems we had, Phil was only a phone call away to help us out. Tasmania has some of the best motorcycling roads I have ridden on and even the rain couldn’t reduce the smiles we all had. Can’t say enough about how much we all enjoyed riding in Tasmania. Thanks Phil for your work and enthusiasm for Tasmania, which helped make our trip remarkable. GeoffGeoff a18/04/2023The Ideal Bucket List Bike Ride. For me, this was a Bucket List trip.Phil picked us up from our hotel in Hobart and it was off to his place for the mandatory paperwork and also a review of his recommended route and how the GPS works. The GPS made it so easy.On the bikes for the start of 5 days on the road. Saw some amazing scenery, so many contrasts across the island.Two fine days, and three half wet/dry. As good as you would expect.I was having some trouble with the clutch lever adjustment but Phil had a contact in Launceston who sorted it out in a minute and I was happy again.Accommodation was between amazing and OK, depending what was available in that town.Had a great time, price was reasonable, would recommend it to anyone.Peter C29/03/2023Solo Self guided tour I Hired a Beautiful BMW 1250 GSA from Phil I was flying Solo and had no real plans. Phil showed me some great places on his large wall map and also gave me a 5 day self guided tour map. I got instructions on how to operate all the great features on the bike. Like heated grips and seat 🙂 . I rode 1631km in 4 days. and saw so much. I visited chocolate factory's, winery's, cheese places, distillery's and anywhere else that I saw as i rode along that caught my eye. The bike was amazing to ride and Phil was super easy to deal with.Simon G21/03/2023Tassie Motorcycle trip A large group of us from NSW flew down to Tassie and rented bikes from Phil at TMTR. Although I wasn’t the trip organiser I found the whole process seamless. Phil communicated with the organiser extremely well, picked us up from our accomodation, walked us through the rental process, fees and insurance details and of course the bikes themselves. All of the bikes we rented, 12 in total were all pretty new with low kms and were mechanically A1. He provided GPS which were accurate and well programmed. You literally pressed favourites and a list of interesting destinations came up making navigation around Tassie incredibly easy. The roads around Tassie are MADE for bikes, great straights, sweeping bends looking over majestic scenery, mountains , fields, forests and crystal clear bays and of course hairpin bends to keep it all interesting and test out your skills! The towns and attractions you pass through have something for everyone, great food, pubs, wineries, boutique food and arts and crafts. Along with the incredible history of Tasmania and stunning National parks and natural attractions you will love this place. Combine it with Motorbikes and mates and you will be hard pressed to have a better holiday.At the end of the ride we simply returned the bikes and once again Phil drove us back to our Hobart accomodation. All in all a cracker of a week!Jaime H19/03/2023Tasmania Self Guided Tour I rented a bike from Phil at TMTR in February. He organised an 8 day self-guided trip for me on a Tiger 800XCX, which was in very good condition. Great roads and scenery...and so little traffic. Phil provided me with sat nav, comprehensive route notes and suggestions for sightseeing, bars/restaurants etc I would definitely recommend renting from TMTR and riding in Tasmania.Guy C15/03/2023Trip of a lifetime From A-Z this was a great trip. The only thing that wasn't under Phil's calm control was the weather. A couple of phone chats for him to get an idea of what to propose as an itinerary, easy transaction, and my bespoke tour was created. Phil's flexilbity with colletion/drop off at the airport removes one extra hassle, and leads to a really chill start of a fantastic motorcycle tour. The range of bikes is excellent, and they really are in top notch condition, as is the range of luggage and clothing available as well.The tour was great, lots of options, lots of suggestions, Phil obviously has a wealth of local knowledge and local connections, and was able to come up with altnernatives off the top of his head.I absolutely 100% recommend. I only did four days, and I wish I did four weeks. Tasmania is incredible, and when I come back (not if), I will be a repeat customer for sure.Dan12/03/2023Superb. Thrilling. And on mouthwatering bikes! There are a couple of motorcycle hire businesses in Tasmania, but I'd bet none are as brilliant as Phil Ogden's Tasmanian Motorcycle Tours & Rentals. From our initial communication, to when we booked then had to cancel our original Tassie trip due to COVID lockdowns, to when we re-booked and this time made it to the island, every interaction was highly professional, surpassing our expectations. Phil was accessible, informative, patient, and generous. The motorcycles on offer are the best I've ridden, likely the best you'll find anywhere, including the king of adventure bikes: BMW's 1250 GS Rallye - a monster you can hire and ride once you stop drooling. Phil offers motorcycle gear like helmets, jackets, wet weather gear and more. His service is hard to fault... and then there's the island itself. Honestly, hire one of TMTR's bikes, take Phil's advice on potential routes and accommodation, and enjoy some of the best roads on the planet on some of its best bikes. Just do it.Martin C08/03/2023Booked a motorcycle through TMTR for use at a work event in Hobart in February 2023, where the motorcycle was utilised as a first response vehicle for the event paramedic. We explained to Phil the intended use and types of equipment that would need to be carried, and he provided us with a choice of several appropriate motorcycles for the event with a variety of luggage options. The booking process was easy and well explained, with Phil being easily contactable and happy to chat over the phone to answer any questions. Pickup and drop off was also easy. The owner is an avid rider himself, so is also happy to provide local information and tips for those that aren’t familiar with Tasmania. Overall a very easy booking process. I would happily recommend TMTR for both personal and business hire.Lewis Russell28/02/20238 Day Tour of Tassie My mate and I decided to do an 8 day hire/tour of Tassie and elected to fly in/fly out and hire the beautiful 1250GS motorcycles from Phil at TMTR. The bikes and service offered by Phil were excellent, and the trip went without a hitch.We are both from Sydney and the ease of flying to Hobart, being picked up by Phil and returned at the end of the hire period was excellent and made the trip far less stressful and enjoyable. The entire hire bike arrangement and friendly pre trip planning advice was much appreciated. Thanks Phil.Mark B23/02/2023Booked a motorcycle through TMTR for use at a work event in Hobart in February 2023, where the motorcycle was utilised as a first response vehicle for the event paramedic.

I chose to hire a motorcycle and the best place to do this with was Phil at TMTR. Phil picked me up from Hobart Airport and after a very short drive to his place, I was on my way! I chose the 2021 BMW F750GS Adventure bike and was extremely happy with the performance and handling. Phil is very knowledgeable with the roads and bikes he hires out and can assist you in selecting the right bike for your adventure. Definitely will recommend Tasmanian Motorcycle Tours and Rentals to my friends.bill s07/01/2023Tour of the Tasman peninsula Rented a bike from Phil for the day to do a little tour of The Tasman Peninsula. Phil was very accommodating called up at short notice and he was able to set me up on a bike and supplied the gear needed all within the cost. Also give me some good places to visit. Will definitely rent another bike next time I visit Tasmania.from them. Thanks, LeeLee H05/01/2023Best way to spend new year's! TMTR is your gateway to organising the best possible way to explore Tasmania...riding a motorbike! Phil is got you covered with everything, from organising transfers from the hotel/airport, to sorting out riding gear (including helmet, gloves, protective jacket) and providing with plenty of storage panniers/top case, as well as GPS and mobile phone holders. Phil is flexible whether you just want to rent a motorbike from his adventure range, or if you'd like a self-guided tour organised. Tasmania has a beautiful landscape, charming little towns and great food/wine, and riding around its windy roads is in my view, the best way to experience it!Be sure to check his website or give him a call!Tomas S01/01/2023Excellent service and timely correspondence. Easy to deal with. Great, well-maintained bikes and very extensive and complete trip route planning and accommodations. GPS very well set up and easy to use. Phil was very helpful, great communicator and all around pleasant and friendly guy! Highly recommend!Richard Denney29/12/2022Effortless and great service Touring Tassie on a motorbike is something that's been inching up our list of to-do's. We had a small window to make this happen and Phil at TMTR really made this a possibility for us!Phil was attentive, understood our timeframes and situation. He was able to provide excellent advice and structure a great itinerary on very short notice (during peak period where accommodation is scarce).Our bike and all the luggage options was perfectly setup for touring 2-up and we could tell that the bike has been well maintained and cared for. The 1250GS was the perfect bike for our trip.The itinerary for each day was really well considered. A good blend of stunning roads, scenery and sights; all within a manageable distance each day. The bast part is that you still have all the flexibility you need to incorporate your own plans, TMTR's itinerary as really an outline that you can follow or add more to.You have all the navigation and supporting guides to help you on the tour and to make some decisions along the way.Lastly, the accommodation booked for us was also great. Spacious rooms in nice hotels which are conveniently located. Dinner and drinks options are all within walking distance and it's nice to not have to get back onto the bike to head out for dinner after a long day.I'd recommend TMTR to anyone looking to explore Tassie on bike. We've had a great experience with themGordon23/12/2022Best bike trip ever made in australia I had a great experience with my tiger 800. I have done the whole east coast in 4 days. The bike was perfectly looked after and very reliable. And believe me, in middle of nowhere you need a good bike ! Phil was very nice with me, he picked me up at my hostel and brought me back after the journey. I vouch on him 100% if you like riding and especially if you need to discover Tasmania TMTR is the place! He lent me a swag as well for sleep because on the plane I couldn’t carry much into my bag. This kind of bike trip is something you keep in mind your lifetime !Jérémy H23/12/2022
