For car drivers nothing beats a wide open road or the gentle curves found round mountain passes made only better if there is little or no traffic. While this may be the case for the majority of avid drivers, it’s also true that others may have differing ideas of what would make up their perfect road. In the same way what makes for the perfect biking road? Is it the adventure of traveling on a smooth traffic-free roads, an element of danger, twists and turns, or having an impressive landscape as a backdrop.
Perhaps the best answer is that a great biking road is a blend of all the above, something that is shared by the following list of some of the world’s best motor biking destinations:
Morocco
Morocco is a noted winter destination for motorcycle enthusiasts. With light traffic, reasonable surfaces on most main roads, and an amazing diversity of landscapes, the North African country makes for a great place to ride. In addition to good roads, Morocco also offers variety in the form of wild mountain trails, isolated high passes, mule tracks and sand dunes. As a result, there are several motor cycle tour companies that offer packages for Morocco including all inclusive off-road tours, all-day trails, and more.
Norway
Motorcycle tours have grown in popularity in recent years and as such there are a number of professional motor biking tour companies offering a variety of destinations. In most cases all you need to do is book your tour and the company will take care of everything from helmets to motorbike tyres for the smooth running of your trip. As such similar tours are offered in Norway too, one of the best destinations for motor biking in the world. A great example is the Bergen to Geiranger tour which takes you past Norway’s longest Fjord, through long tunnels, past glaciers and even waterfalls.
Italy
