From our experience

Prices depend on the owner more than on the season. Sometimes an owner needs to cover a loan payment and rents the bike out cheaper. Most owners also deliver monthly rentals for free, so it pays to compare a few offers before you commit.

Negotiate for 2+ months. Owners often reduce the rate by 10–15% for longer commitments.
Agree on service. For monthly rental, confirm who pays for routine servicing (oil change etc.) - usually the owner covers this.
