* The 6 day week tour is designed for all ages and all riding skills, it is a very diverse one, with paved and country roads...
So, it will be better to have a proper motorcycle, for example : BMW R..., Honda XL..., Yamaha XT...
It is preferable to have an “enduro”, but you can, as well, ride a classic one; ...i've been through all this mountains
on a “IMZ URAL 650 cc -1993 “, or more extreme on a “Simson 250 cc -1961 “, ...and it was fun!
But the truth is... much more fun i have now with my “tenere”. So,... this is an adventure, it surely is not your “5 stars vacation”, sleeping down on “white satin”..., but remember that this is a country, where you still can enjoy the freedom of horse drawn wagons
and shepherds, with their sheeps, a country where you can explore almost every corner of it.
You have to ride with us..., to understand ! We’ll be here..., waiting for you.
