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 Australia, 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 other manufacturer ‘adventure’-style bikes.
Standard ‘dual-purpose’ motorcycles:
-
A
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.
You can upgrade to 50/50 tyres more suited to tougher trails and off-road riding for an additional fee.
-
C
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.
