Each morning, before the ride, a short briefing of the riding day ahead is given.
Our policy is simple, we strive to offer the best possible individual guest service and a safe riding environment. Therefore, our groups are relatively small and typically kept to 8 to 10 guest motorcycles plus pillions. Most of our guests prefer groups of this size, where diversity of age, motorcycle experience and interests ignites instant friendships.
Our itineraries are designed to start between 8 – 9 am and arrive at our hotel for the night no later than 5 pm. On average we cover 250 km daily and we do stops to enjoy some coffee, lunch, amazing scenery, taking photos, looking at a historical site etc. or simply a “leg-stretcher”.
Bike Tour Asia’s tours are designed for big motorcycle riders and a minimum of 10’000 km of a big motorcycle (500cc up) experience is required.

We suggest that you take a close look at each tour itinerary and daily hours of riding to pick the right tour for you. If you are still not sure, please send us an e-mail or give us a call and we will advise. Your safety is our highest priority.
