Long way round to Goa on Superbikes

Beautiful countryside roads, delicious food, endless motorcycle conversations, serene beaches – experienced on the best superbikes on the planet.

Our 4-day ride to Goa was charted to take the longer, non-touristy, scenic route across Karnataka to the rendezvous – stunning coastal roads, vast fields of sugarcane and sunflowers, majestic national parks, beautiful beaches and breathtaking grasslands.🥰

And unwind in South Goa exploring quaint cafes, serene beaches and local restaurants.
