We have carefully chosen our motorcycles based on experience and the capability of the motorcycle for multi day touring. Having good luggage capacity and two up capability are important considerations as well as being comfortable. We hope we have something for everyone and offer a good price range of options for you to choose from.

- Be 25 years or older
- Be actively riding
- Have a minimum of 2 years constant riding experience
- Have a minimum of a “Restricted or Provisional License” We are unable to cater for learner license holders sorry.
- In most cases we will accept your local license from the country of issue, but we must be able to clearly identify your license type. If there is any doubt please send us a copy of both sides of your license or obtain an “International Drivers License”
- Before obtaining an International Drivers License you want to consider have your license translated by contacting the New Zealand Transport Agency. Please follow this link.
