Explore Northern Thailand’s winding tarmac roads on a motorcycle that suits your experience and riding style. The Honda CB500X and the Honda NX500 are both included in the price of our Thailand motorcycle tours.
For riders who prefer more power, selected larger adventure touring motorcycles are available as optional upgrades. Other motorcycle models are also available on request. For Laos, we deliberately use the manageable Honda CRF 250.
Reliable choices for our guided motorcycle tours in Northern Thailand.

A proven, easy-to-handle adventure tourer with an upright riding position. Well suited to long days of bends on Northern Thailand’s paved mountain roads.

The modern successor to the CB500X: agile through the bends, comfortable on longer riding days and equipped with contemporary features.
All upgrades carry an additional charge. We confirm the exact motorcycle subject to availability.

A comfortable touring motorcycle with a distinctive V-twin engine, smooth performance and a relaxed riding position for longer days.

A powerful twin-cylinder machine for experienced riders who appreciate confident handling and extra performance in reserve.

A large adventure tourer with a powerful engine and spacious ergonomics, suited to experienced riders comfortable with bigger, heavier motorcycles.
Our choice of motorcycle reflects the real conditions encountered on the road.

On our Laos motorcycle tours, some roads are in poor condition or have damaged surfaces. In sparsely populated areas, repair workshops and spare parts can be difficult to find.
That is why we choose the relatively light, mechanically straightforward Honda CRF 250. Its manageable size suits the demanding roads, and its simpler design can be an advantage when maintenance is needed.
Our Laos tours are for experienced riders and operate with a minimum of four participants. We confirm the specific CRF version before departure.
