What motorcycle to ride?

Choosing the right steed for your adventure with us is purely a personal choice.

Things to consider when riding in mountainous areas, based on switch backs and tight turns, incline and descent, narrow gorges, weather conditions and single or pillion riding:

  1. Ride Height and Weight

  2. Weather Protection (clothing, screen and fairings)

  3. Luggage (attaching or integral)

  4. Bike Size; Engine Capacity, Width, Length

  5. Turning Capability

  6. Pillion Comfort; Space and Visibility

  7. Your Individual Style

Once you’ve decided on which bike to ride you have two options:

  • Bring your own bike (BYOB)

    • Motorcycles must be road legal, with a current MOT if necessary (Control Technique in France). They must be in good working order and reliable, starting daily in cold mountain air, without mechanical faults. Tyres must have good tread and brake pads plenty of life for significant hill descent.

  • Hire a bike locally
