FAQ's

Yes, you will ride your own motorcycle on our tours.

Touring Newcomer (The “Beginner”)

• The Rider Profile: Competent and safe on their local roads and daily commutes, has experience riding and keeping up with fellow bikers to the speed limits, but never toured in Europe.

• Road & Terrain Capabilities: Most comfortable on predictable, well-surfaced A-roads and highways. They can handle standard bends but may feel anxious about sustained mountain switchbacks, gravel on roads, or sudden steep inclines.

• Group & Mental Stamina: Prone to “touring fatigue” around day 3 or 4. They require more frequent stops, a relaxed group pace, and clear guidance on lane positioning and group riding etiquette.

Intermediate Rider

• The Rider Profile: Has completed a few multi-day trips or domestic tours. They understand how their bike handles when fully loaded with luggage/pillion and are used to spending 5–6 hours in the saddle.

• Road & Terrain Capabilities: Confident navigating moderate alpine passes, sweeping mountain bends, and changing weather conditions (like sudden rain in the hills). They can maintain a steady, smooth pace through technical sections without holding up the group.

• Group & Mental Stamina: Adapts well to foreign road signs and traffic flows (like riding on the right in Europe). They have the stamina for back-to-back 120-180 mile days with standard rest breaks.

Advanced Rider

• The Rider Profile: A seasoned tourer with thousands of touring miles under their belt across multiple countries. They are completely self-sufficient and unfazed by changing itineraries or unexpected detours.

• Road & Terrain Capabilities: Thrives on highly technical routes, tight switchbacks (like the Stelvio Pass), steep gradients, and poorly maintained rural tarmac. They possess excellent throttle control and lean angles, effortlessly managing a heavy touring bike in tight spaces.

• Group & Mental Stamina: Capable of maintaining focus over long, demanding 180 – 225+ mile days through challenging geography. They understand advanced overtaking logistics and can seamlessly adapt to a faster, more dynamic group pace.

The choice is yours..

We encourage people to ride at a pace that is comfortable for them. If you wish to ride a little faster you can, and dont feel that you have to keep up with the faster riders. Everyone is given detailed maps and GPS files so that noone is pushed to go faster or noone is kept at a steady pace if they dont wish too. Our tours will either lead or lead from the back depending on the group, and will make sure they are on hand if needed.

To ensure the safety, pacing, and seamless logistics of our group dynamics on tight European roads, Eurobiketours is strictly a two-wheeled motorcycle operator. Because our carefully selected routes feature narrow alpine passes, technical switchbacks, and specific group parking, they are uniquely optimized for the handling, width, and cornering style of solo motorcycles.

We tend not run support vehicles as we find that most breakdown company’s in Europe are reasonably sufficient.

Depending on the tour mileage can vary a lot from 125 miles to 245 miles. We usually leave our accommodation around 9am and arrive at our next destination around 5-6pm.

We have a 30 minute break for morning coffee, 1 hour for lunch and another 30 minute coffee break in the afternoon.

Yes, eurobiketours complies with the 2018 package travel and linked travel arrangements regulations.
