These beautiful or mythical roads are to be visited by motorcycle if you love to ride on two wheels.

There are some qualities that make a road easy to drive to motorcycle and offer an unforgettable experience. A smooth surface is one of the most important factors: unless they prefer off track, bikers appreciate the tarmac! ♪ superb landscapes are an additional asset. The beautiful winding roads are always the favorite: the catch of curves by leaning are a real pleasure and one of the reasons why people choose to drive a motorcycle rather than a car.

The television series Long way Round in 2004 and Long way Down In 2007 (starting both Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman on the world's roads) helped to trigger this trend.
