ADVICE AND INFORMATION

Whilst we don't claim to have visited absolutely every inch of New Zealand, we've seen more than our fair share. We've ridden the highways, rattled along the tracks, powered along the coastlines, ranged up the mountains, slipped through the valleys and roamed deep into the heart.

The information provided here is intended to give you some knowledge to help you stay safe as you explore New Zealand and of course, we're always available to answer any questions that you might have.

STANDARD MOTORCYCLE SETUP

So how is my bike going to be equipped?

Good question and frankly, one we’d be disappointed if you hadn’t asked. The main factor affecting how your bike will be equipped is which make and model you might have selected to ride whilst in New Zealand, but there are some standards which apply across all the bikes we provide and you can find more information below via the ‘hot spots’ or listed below the relevant bike type.

Our bikes are generally all equipped to the same standards so the BMW bike below can be taken as representing most of our BMW, Yamaha, Triumph and Suzuki ‘adventure’ bikes.

The Harley Davidson bikes are generally equipped in a similar manner but they obviously look quite different to the BMW featured here. No off-roading with the Harley’s, goes without saying really.

    FUEL TANK

    Your bike will be fitted with the standard fuel tank as specified by the manufacturer, total capacity will depend on the bike make and model. If you have specific range requirements then please contact us for more information.

  • B

    TYRES

    Your bike will be fitted with tyres suited to a mixture of road and trails at a ratio of 80/20, so as standard the bike will be aimed mostly at on-road touring with some light gravel / unsurfaced sections.

    LUGGAGE

    Your bike will be fitted with a pair of hard side panniers (luggage boxes) as standard. We do not guarantee availability of specific luggage brands, but if you would like something particular then just let us know and we will try our best to accommodate you.
