Motorcycle travel worldwide

A guided motorcycle trip usually begins with a briefing and route discussion.

This is followed by daily stages with designated stops, refueling, and break points.

In the evenings, you stay in pre-booked accommodations and exchange experiences with the group. Perfectly organized, but with room for freedom on two wheels.

The ideal travel time depends on the region and climate. In Europe, spring to autumn is suitable, while motorcycle trips in Morocco or Africa offer optimal conditions mainly in spring and autumn.

Overcross plans all tours so that temperature, route, and weather harmonize perfectly.

The entry into the world of motorcycle travel is easier than many think. Start with shorter, guided tours to gain experience and get used to longer stages.

What is important is a technically flawless motorcycle, suitable equipment, and the willingness to engage with new landscapes and cultures.

For most motorcycle trips, safe riding practice and basic fitness are sufficient. Good protective clothing, helmet, gloves, weatherproof jacket, and sturdy boots are mandatory.

On enduro trips, off-road experience should also be available. Safety always comes before speed.

The daily stages on motorcycle trips range from 150 to 300 kilometers depending on the terrain. On off-road or enduro tours in Morocco or Africa, it is usually 100-220 kilometers, as driving technique and terrain are more demanding.

Comfort is decisive, not distance. The goal is the experience, not the number.

On guided motorcycle trips, a support vehicle usually accompanies you, providing assistance in case of technical problems.

If an accident occurs, your safety and ours is the top priority to ensure the safety of all involved.

Every region has its own charm, from the Andes passes in South America to the desert tracks in Morocco.

Among the most popular destinations for motorcycle travels are also Southeast Asia, South Africa and of course Europe.

Not necessarily. On many motorcycle trips, you can ride your own motorcycle, while on other motorcycle tours, there is the possibility to rent a motorcycle.

Overcross offers a fleet of motorcycles for rent. You can find information about available rental motorcycles on the respective tour page.

If you are planning a motorcycle trip, you can either rely on the expertise of your tour operator or use a good app. In challenging countries, it's best to trust someone with a lot of experience.

For shorter, less demanding routes, you can plan with the app of your choice. When planning, you should consider the desired type of route (curvy, rural), the total duration, and the number of stops.

In case of doubt, it's best to consult an experienced tour guide who can help you.

The catering on motorcycle tours is organized flexibly. Depending on the route, we buy fresh products together at local markets, cook on the way, or eat in typical local restaurants.

On motorcycle tours in Africa or South America, we also ensure supplies so that there is always enough catering available.

Refueling stops are firmly integrated into the routes. In Europe, there is a dense network of gas stations.

On long off-road stages, for example in the Sahara, we transport additional fuel in reserve jerry cans so that no one gets stranded.

The overnight stays vary depending on the off-road tour: hotels, lodges, guesthouses, or camps. On adventurous expeditions, we also sleep in tents, always in safe and verified locations.

Yes, upon request we provide the complete route as a GPX file for motorcycle tours.

This way you can also track your motorcycle trip on the navigation device or in your preferred app.

For every motorcycle trip, the luggage storage is clearly arranged. Your personal luggage is transported in the accompanying vehicle or the support truck while you travel with a light motorcycle.

For daily stages, you have side cases or luggage rollers on the bike. This keeps your travel luggage stored securely, allowing you to fully focus on riding the motorcycle and the expedition.

For beginners, we recommend tours that last about 6 to 9 days. With growing experience, you can extend the duration of the trip without facing concentration problems or fatigue.

For experienced riders, motorcycle tours of 10 to 29 days are absolutely common. Of course, comfort plays a role in the decision-making process, especially for those looking for "motorcycle trips over 50."

Overcross has the perfect tour ready for all experience levels. From one-week motorcycle trips to extensive transcontinental expeditions!

We work with a parameter that clearly shows you what driving skills you should bring for the respective tour. Each tour has a scale of 1 to 3 "chillies". If you are unsure, you can contact us at any time. We are happy to help you!

When looking for the right motorcycle trip, you should consider your experience, the travel destination, and the planned duration. Plan your route according to your skills and the type of motorcycle to find the perfect motorcycle tour.

For beginners in motorcycle travel, we recommend shorter but varied motorcycle tours with moderate daily stages.

Perfect for this: the "Endurotour Morocco: MT 007 Spectre Tour" in Morocco with desert feeling or also the "The Highlander One or The Highlander Two" in Bolivia.

Advanced bikers often look for longer and challenging motorcycle trips to fully exploit their riding skills.

Here await great adventures such as the "Trans Africa - The Long Way Down" or the Enduro Holiday in Morocco or Tunisia.

You typically need a valid motorcycle license, so in Germany at least class A2.

For motorcycle trips outside of Europe, you should additionally obtain an international driving permit, as this is often required or recommended.
