If unfamiliar with models, check-off model type and your requested displacement size on your tour application. We match your model type wish with available models and designate a motorcycle for tour use and confirm this on your invoice.

The stayover optional daily rental rate is applicable and used only if you want to rent your designated tour model with unlimited mileage for a few days, a week or longer prior to and/or after your tour (subject to availability).

Whatever your riding style, substitute or upgrade a mount to suit particular riding needs and preferences. Smaller and more agile bikes are better suited to the roads in Europe, but it is your decision to ride your personal own model at home, a mount which you are familiar or a special model you have always dreamed about riding.

For every riding style and rider size, whether ladies or gentlemen, young or young at heart, we have the perfect mount for you to fully enjoy your tour.

Bosenberg Motorcycle ExcursionsWe realize riders are different sizes and prefer different makes and models. As a guideline only, we recommend the following motorcycle size match between you and your mount as follows:

  • 500-700cc class for solo riders
  • 701-900cc class for solo riders or with passenger (combined weight < 300 lbs.)
  • over 900cc class for solo riders or with passenger (combined weight > 300 lbs.)

If necessary stop at a neighborhood dealer and inspect the showroom bikes to see various models, measure seat heights, judge passenger comfort etc.
