How are MotoGS WorldTours motorcycle routes planned?
A good motorcycle tour route is not created by simply choosing the fastest road between two hotels. Motorcycle route planning requires riding experience, realistic timing, road-surface awareness, fuel planning, weather judgement, border knowledge and a clear understanding of what makes a road enjoyable on a motorcycle.
MotoGS WorldTours routes are built around riding quality. We prefer scenic mountain roads, coastal roads, remote paved backroads, small connecting roads and less obvious routes away from standard tourist traffic. Especially in the Balkans, many rewarding roads are not routes most visitors would easily find on their own.
Our tours are not designed to rush from attraction to attraction. The riding itself is a central part of the experience. At the same time, carefully selected stops, local food, unusual overnight places, ferries, scenic viewpoints and special activities can be part of what makes the tour memorable.
Accommodation is also part of the tour character. Where possible, we prefer places with something local, characteristic or special rather than anonymous standard hotels without atmosphere.
Route planning must still stay realistic. We consider fuel stops, ferries, border crossings, weather risks, road conditions, hotel access, daily riding time and the riding level required for the group. This is why route planning is one of the most important parts of every MotoGS WorldTours tour.
