Hiring a motor bike is a great idea as you can go exploring and be independant.
Sorry I have no idea what has changed, best to let that remain a surprise to unfold for when you get there and start exploring for yourself (much more fun when it is all new) :)))
When we went, they didnt have any scooters, we hired bikes with gears, I can only imagine that this has changed :)
We found a beautiful secluded beach, parked the bikes, left keys in ignition, (soaked in the feeling of being marooned on a deserted island) and went for a swim with noone in sight anywhere... ahhh bliss :)
Back then the road was very quiet out of the main areas and only came across patches of traffic here and there, eg on the otherside we came across a whole lot of children going home from school.
Hope you have a great trip, take care and look forward to reading all about it in your JBR.
