Planning your Motorcycle tour.
Bike selection is a personal choice, we can offer late model BMW’s and Honda’s to the rider as well as speciality bikes such as a Harley Davidson should that be your dream. Most of motorcycle touring is a return to the place you started for example Sydney , Melbourne or Perth , but Odyssey will also take care of the one way specific bike tour as part of the motorcycle rental program.
The tour itinerary is spaced out with comfortable distances through spectacular scenery which in this big country is not difficult to find to enjoy from National parks to treeless landscapes that glide into the horizon. Each time you break in an agreed location on your motorcycle trip itinerary there will be time to meet your local tour guide along the road travelled to learn about the place you have arrived in. The accommodation along the way and the entrances to tourist attractions in some of the most remote and interesting areas of Australia are all agreed and booked on your behalf in advance including local insurance to give your road trip dream the greatest chance of being that truly great ride you have dreamed off every chance of success.
