Are MotoGS WorldTours suitable for complete beginners?
Are MotoGS WorldTours suitable for complete beginners?
No. MotoGS WorldTours tours are not suitable for complete beginners. Our tours are designed for riders who already have real motorcycle experience and can handle multi-day riding safely and confidently.
A long-distance motorcycle tour is more demanding than a short weekend ride. Riders need to manage daily stages, changing roads, luggage, weather, traffic, fatigue and group riding. On some tours, the total distance may reach several thousand kilometres.
This does not mean that you need to be an expert, a racing rider or a hero on two wheels. Many experienced leisure riders are a very good fit. But complete beginners, very insecure riders or riders without enough recent riding practice should first build more experience before joining one of our tours.
This is not meant to exclude riders unfairly. It is responsible tour planning. A guided motorcycle tour should be enjoyable, but it must also remain safe for the rider, passenger, guide and group.
More details are explained under riding experience requirements and daily riding stages.
