le transport ne m'inquiète pas , c'est plus la douane sur place
je compte expedier un transalp 600 ou 700 car j'ai l'intention de faire plusieurs séjours la bas donc le budget location sur place monte tres vite environ 5000 dollards pour 6 demaines pour une electra
il y a la solution d'acheter une moto sur place qui est peut etre le plus facile vue que les becanes ne sont pas cher entre 5000 et 10000 pour des motos avec peut de milles
et pour toi que veut tu expedier et que veut tu faire sur place
Je voyage avec une BMW R80 G/S de 1981. Je ne fixe pas de trajet car je ne les suis jamais !!!
En partant début 2011, il ne fait pas froid dans le sud.
Effectivement, je ne trouve pas grand chose sur le dédouanement aux USA.
j'ai un devis maritime EXPORT pour 1 caisse 280 kgs, depuis livraison Le Havre à rendu bord navire Buenos aires de 407.05 euros. Mon transitaire me dit que c'est le même prix pour Miami ou autre port de la côte est.
Il faut ajouter :Les formalités à l'arrivée, droits et taxes, l'assurance, les prestations spéciales... AUCUNE IDEE ! En France, au début de l'année j'ai payé 300 € pour récupérer ma moto au Havre.
Fumigation obligatoire des emballages en bois avec présence du logo IPPC, une centaine d'euro.
Apparemment pas besoin de CDP pour les USA et le canada.

J'ai également contacté Ziegler au Havre (très sympa), il va me proposer un voyage + le dédouanement à Miami. j'attends son mail dans 2 jours.
Comment tu t'y prends pour la caisse ? J'en ai déjà fait une, donc je suis un "expert"😏
pour la caisse si je dois en faire une se sera pas un probleme j'ai un atelier complet de menuiserie donc sa devrais le faire
de toute façon cela ne sera pas necessaire je pense opter pour l'avion je trouve la solution simpat et raisonable en prix
et partir sur le meme vol que la becane l'idee me plait bien cela evite la perte de temps
de toute façon pour la moto se sera un aller simple je vais acheter une occase ici surement un transalp j'aime bien cette becane on a trouve a pas cher du tout , j'ai l'intention de la laisser la bas ou usa ou canada j'ai pas mal de contact la bas
donc tu vois ya plus cas
j'attend tout de meme les tarifs des concurents tiens moi au parfum de ton cote
je vais sur paris demain je vais faire mes confreres qui font de l'affretements on ne sais jamais

Oui, je l'ai fait.C'était une idée stupide.Ca ma coûté le même prix qu'une location sur place plus la galère d'enregistrer la moto plusieurs jours avant à Roissy( et la joie d'avoir à l'emballer !!!)
Au retour , rebelote et attente de plusieurs jours pour la récupérer.
En outre , en cas de pépin mécanique, le loueur intervient.Si c'est sur ta moto que ça se produit, on est dans la m...

Tu as certainement raison pour un séjour de courte durée, mais pour plusieurs mois ? Par ailleurs mon voyage se poursuivra dans d'autres pays. Je pense envoyer la moto par bateau, ce qui est moins cher qu'en avion, reste à trouver des infos pour le dédouanement aux USA ou au Canada, ce n'est pas facile. Si tu as des infos.
Merci
Bravo et merci pour toutes ces infos.
Je souhaite envoyer ma BMW à Anchorage en Alaska, et ensuite relier Mexico City par la côte ouest.
Je rencontre le même problème que vous...Le prix pour envoyer ma moto.
Par avion, sur Continental Airlines, il faut compter Plus de 3'800.- Fr Suisse soit env.2600.- Euros pour UN aller!!
En plus hauteur maxi, 80 cm de haut! Donc, il faut démonter le monstre.
Voilà quelques infos. Moi je sais plus trop. J'aimerais faire ce voyage en septembre 2011. Mais bon.
Faut-il louer sur place ( difficile avec le Mexique).
Si j'ai d'autres infos, je vous fait signe. Bien à vous
H.
pas facile d'expedier une moto ou alors on explose le budget
une solution je pense faire partir un transalp que 'j'achete d'occase chez moi on en trouve en parfait etat pour des petits budget 2000 euros avec souvent moins de 50 000 km au compteur
je la fait partir de paris pour montreal pour 1800 euros l'avantage je voyage sur le meme avion comme il propose dans le courrier que j'ai reçu
je passe 4 semaines au usa et je peut te revendre cette moto eventuellement ce qui facilite bien des choses
et tu la revend au mexique
Finalement je regarde la possibilité d'envoyer la moto par avion à Montréal en mai avec Motorcycle Express. As-tu des précisions sur :Leur site dit que la moto est "shipping uncrated" c'est à dire qu'on l'amène par la route à l'avion et qu'ils se débrouille pour la charger ?
La récupération est immédiate à l'arrivée ?Leur tarif inclut toutes les taxes d'arrivée ?Merci😎
Quelques précisions du 10 janvier 2011: motorcycle express a augmenté ses prix : Il faut compter USD $2,095.00 (environ 1620 €) pour Paris - Montréal ou Toronto.
Les frais à l'arrivée sont "Usually less than $100.00 USD" for the cost of any Handling Charges, Handling Fees, Terminal/Warehouse Fees, Airway Bill Fees, Airline Surcharges, Storage Fees, Customs Fees or Agents Fees required for Customs clearance.
La moto doit être amenée au terminal cargo, la batterie débranchée et le réservoir doit contenir moins d’un gallon (3,8 l) d’essence. La moto sera attachée sur une palette puis placée dans un container.
d'apres denieul il faut apporter la moto 2 jours avants au transitaire a roicy lui a payer 10 dollars pour recuperer sa mob au canada
peut etre que le fait que se soit une mob c'est moins cher
enfin tout cela fait un beau budget pour expedier une moto
je viens de télephoner a paris a la sté fci pour expedier la moto , la aussi on me conseille par le canada aparament plus facile je leur envoie un mail avec la valeur de la moto poids valeur et tout le tralala et il me font une cotation cela permetra de comparer les tarifs
Moi ca serais contraire.
Je voudrais savoir combien ça me couterais de transférer ma moto du Québec à Paris france?
Et si cela couterais moin cher de la louer en france?
Je me suis informer pour une location et le fais que je suis Canadien , il me demande un dépôt de 8,000 euro. OUCHT.
Voila merci! pour les réponses à l'avance et vôtre avis.
Bonjour à tous! Pour ce qui est du shipping, on ne l'a pratiqué que dans l'autre sens, c'est-à-dire USA-France. Normal, les motos ou les automobiles sont bien moins chères neuves ou d'occasion et généralement bien mieux équipées qu'en France et aussi mieux entretenues! Et souvent avec moins de kms (surtout les motos, qui ne sont pas bridées pour les grosses cylindrées) car l'Américain prend souvent l'avion pour se déplacer.
J'ai acheté plusieurs motos aux USA, ce qui se faisait beaucoup il y a plusieurs années, avant que les locations soient à la mode, c'était d'acheter une machine sur la côte Est, de traverser le pays et de la revendre en Californie par exemple, et souvent au même prix. Voilà, si çà peut aider quelqu'un....
Salut mrs, j ai le meme projet pour le panama en oct 2011, je partirais de montreal, je n ai pas de plan pour la route, j ai de la place pour demeurer au mexique a progresso(15 min de merida)j ai 6 mois pour le faire, aussi j ai un bmw 1150 pret pour la route ou le hors route, tu peux me joindre sur mon email au frdufour@hotmail.com merci
depart pour juin mais je ne sais pas encore la destination je viens de vendre un bien donc si la vente est rapide usa via le canada avec ma moto en avion
budget assez lourd pour 1 mois au state environ 6500 euros
autrement retour a mada pour 1 mois en moto bien sur donc la le budget est different on divise pratiquement par deux
Hello everyone.
I'm looking for campsites around BOLZANO (South Tyrol) for early September.
I'll be on my motorcycle with a small tent.
I've noticed that some campsites have exorbitant prices.
If you've traveled through the Dolomites by motorcycle or otherwise and camped there, I'd love any tips on places and prices where I can stay for one night or several.
Thanks to all of you, and happy travels.
I’m starting to think about a trip that’s really close to my heart: Algeria by motorcycle, specifically the southern part of the country. It’d be for January 2025, and I’ve got two main questions:
Is it possible for an individual on a motorcycle to travel freely, outside of any organized tour, or does the regulation require some kind of supervision in the Algerian Sahara region?
Is the Hoggar massif accessible by road or by (rideable) tracks?
Beyond the official recommendations, I’m really looking for your firsthand experiences.
Thanks so much for your answers, and sorry if my questions are a bit newbie!
I just realized I’ve been registered on VoyageForum since... March 28, 2012 😊. Yet, I’ve barely participated until now.
August 1, 2026, will mark a somewhat special milestone: 5 years on the road.
We left Switzerland on August 1, 2021 with a simple idea: let chance decide our direction. We placed a bottle of wine on a world map, spun it... and it chose our first destination.
A year later, when we arrived in Morocco, we faced a new choice: continue toward Africa or head to Asia. This time, a tarot card game made the decision. Since then, we’ve tried to keep this journey as open to the unexpected as possible.
Today, that adds up to about 120,000 km, 46 countries, and over 1,800 days on the road—mostly by motorcycle, but also by sailboat, train, bus, hitchhiking, or on foot when adventure calls.
Our guiding thread isn’t just the motorcycle, but service exchanges. Instead of simply passing through countries, we try to stop regularly to lend a hand to the people we meet. So far, that’s about 600 days of volunteering.
Over the years, we’ve:
renovated a house in Croatia
made earth bricks in the Moroccan desert
helped sail a boat through the Greek islands
looked after houses, dogs, horses, a camel... and lots of other animals
worked at a street art festival in Morocco
created videos for local associations and projects
worked the grape harvest on the Tibetan plateau
been accredited as "media" for the World Nomad Games in Central Asia
Some of the moments that have stuck with us the most include six months in China, a night spent on the Great Wall, the Pamir Highway, the Silk Road, three months in Taiwan, and the incredible encounters in the mountains of Central Asia.
We travel on Falkor, our lucky dragon—a 2014 BMW F800GS that’s been with us since the start and is starting to have some great stories of its own.
While we share our adventure on Instagram, Polarsteps, and YouTube, that’s not why we’re here. The forum’s rules about promotion are clear, and I totally get them. If I’m finally taking the time to write, it’s mostly because after five years on the road, I thought our experience might be useful to other travelers.
Happy to chat about:
preparing for a long motorcycle trip
visas and borders
the Silk Road and Central Asia
riding in China (with or without a motorcycle)
volunteering and service exchanges while traveling
gear, daily life on the road... or just the unexpected moments that make long-term travel so special
Looking forward to swapping stories and hearing about your adventures too! 😊 Greetings from Thailand, and happy to chat! ✌️
Hi there! My daughter and I are heading to Malta and I’d love to rent a scooter. Does anyone know any good places to rent from and what the budget would be for a week?
Hello, I’m retired and planning a roughly 3-week motorcycle trip (1200gs). The dates aren’t set in stone yet, and everything’s open to discussion—I’m pretty flexible with the planning.
I’d like to ride from Mahajanga to Morondava, sticking as close to the coast as possible—using roads and tracks—in September 2026. If you’ve got any suggestions, let me know! 😉
hi
planning to ride through Rajasthan on a motorcycle in January 2027 and I’d love to hear about the road conditions.
I’ll be riding with a buddy on a Royal Enfield that I’ll rent in Delhi.
Thanks for your tips!
hi there
I’d like to ride the RN 12 by motorcycle in September.
I’d love to know the main challenges—I ride a 300cc and do enduro in France.
Thanks for your tips!
I’m planning a motorcycle road trip to Armenia and Georgia in September 2026 or May 2027. I’m looking for one or more riders (male or female) who’d like to explore these countries with me.
Along the way, we’ll visit Cappadocia, the capitals Yerevan, Tbilisi, Sofia, Skopje, and other cities—we can finalize the route and roadbook later.
This trip requires experience with long motorcycle journeys, as we’ll cover around 7,000 km over 5 or 6 weeks (or more, depending on sightseeing and time spent).
I don’t expect dozens of applicants, since motorcycle riders are few and far between on this forum, but I’m putting this out there anyway.
Hi, I’d like to take a 15-day "break" to get away from the surrounding hustle and bustle.
Why not explore the Peloponnese!
I’m not particularly drawn to museums, ruins, or monuments.
I want to experience local life—small villages, seaside spots, beaches, and the interior if the landscapes are extraordinary.
Ideally, coming from Athens, I’d take a bus or train to get as close as possible to a starting point, then rent a scooter (125cc) to explore by taking secondary roads or even coastal paths. I’d stay in 2-3 places for a few days each to discover their surroundings.
Do a loop.
What do you think would be the ideal itinerary?
From Athens, the best option would be to take either a flight or a bus to Kalamata. Rent a scooter and head either west or east. Is there a tertiary road (very lightly trafficked) or a path where I can ride slowly, take it easy, and enjoy the scenery without being bothered by traffic? I’d like to go all the way to Monemvasia, still hugging the coast. I need to find a way to avoid returning to Kalamata to drop off the scooter and catch a flight—maybe a small town where the train stops so I can head back to Athens.
Thanks in advance for your tips.
I want to rent an off-road style motorcycle to get around the coast during my trip to Ecuador. I’m only finding options in Quito. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Hi there,
I’m planning a sidecar trip to South America for 4 or 5 months at the end of this year.
I’m looking for info on shipping my vehicle by sea—possibly to Uruguay or another destination, as I haven’t finalized anything yet.
How do you get visas for the countries I’ll be crossing: Uruguay, Argentina, Bolivia, Peru, and Chile? Are they e-Visas, obtained at the border, or through embassies?
Where can I get vehicle insurance?
Lastly, if any bikers want to join us (my partner and me), we’re open to that possibility too.

I’ve got 15 days off in June and I’m pretty undecided about where to go for a motorcycle road trip. Two strong desires are pulling me in different directions: Corsica or Norway.
Corsica has been a dream of mine for a long time: legendary roads, stunning landscapes, a unique vibe, and the perfect mix of sea and mountains. At the same time, I’m wondering if 2 weeks might be *too much* for Corsica—risking feeling like I’ve seen it all too quickly, especially on a bike.
Since I also have an extra week free in May, I could use that specifically for Corsica. Maybe splitting it into two trips would make more sense? If so, which routes or regions would be the most interesting to plan for a 7-day trip?
On the other hand, Norway is *super* appealing. The landscapes look incredible, totally different from anything I’ve experienced, and it’d be a real “wow” trip. I know 15 days is still short for such a vast country. Getting all the way to the North Cape seems pretty much impossible in that time, but I’m curious about what realistic routes could be planned.
So I’m wondering:
Is it better to save Norway for next year, take 3 weeks off, and do it *properly*?
Or are 15 days enough for a first amazing taste of the country?
I’d love to hear about your experiences—whether it’s Corsica (ideal duration, routes) or Norway (what’s realistic in 2 weeks on a bike).
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
Hello,
I'm thinking of buying a used small motorcycle to travel around the country for a month and a half.
I've done this in other countries without putting the registration in my name—is that possible in Guinea given the apparently frequent checks, or do I have to go through the paperwork?
Thanks.
Hello,
My dream is to ride Route 66 by motorcycle. I have a disability—while I’m not in a wheelchair, my walking mobility is reduced.
The ideal scenario would be to have a motorcycle driver and ride as their passenger on an organized trip.
Are there any guides or services like this offered by travel agencies?
Thanks for sharing your experiences!
Hello,
I’ve got a plan with a friend to go on a motorcycle road trip in 2028 or 2029, starting in Santiago de Chile and ending in Ushuaia, for about a month.
Has anyone done a trip like this before, and what’s the best time of year?
I’ve heard there can be quite a bit of wind depending on the season.
Thanks for any tips!
Cheers,
PA
I'm seriously considering heading to Nepal to do some nice motorcycle loops... my goal is also to do the Kailash Yatra round trip from Kathmandu, in a small group with a guide, in May '26... but here's the thing—I'm solo! So if you're up for sharing a similar adventure, hit me up... Cheers, Frankoys
It's all in the title: I'm heading to Krabi soon and want to rent a scooter for a few weeks, but after reading comments about all kinds of scams, I'm reaching out to ask where and how (read: *the right way*) to rent one.
Thanks for your tips and advice.
Hello everyone! Like every year, a winter migration is on the horizon (revised plan): this time, it’ll be Dakar, or even Abidjan, via Morocco, Mauritania, and Senegal.
Looking for an experienced motorcyclist or pillion rider—small build preferred—on a GSA 1250 with a comfy seat and luggage setup, available from early November to late December 2025. I’d like to plan the trip together (important to me) to make sure we’re on the same wavelength.
Don’t hesitate to get in touch!

Looking for travel companions to ride from France to Senegal by motorcycle.
I’m Paul, 37, and I’ve already done a bit of riding in Morocco.
For now, I’m solo, riding a 1998 SUZUKI DR 650 with some basic gear to keep things smooth. I’ll have a tent so we can do a few nights under the stars.
We’ll need to coordinate departure dates—"ideally in November."
I’m currently checking out routes to take. Any tips would be welcome! :)
I’m heading to Vietnam and Laos with a buddy next week for a month.
We’re thinking of renting motorbikes, especially to do the Ha Giang Loop. We don’t have an international license, just our Belgian one. Is that enough? If not, is it risky?
In November, we’re planning to do the Ha Giang loop and the RC4 by motorbike without a guide. 😎
We’re looking for a decent place to stay/rent in Ha Giang.
If anyone has any info, we’d be really interested.
Hello! We’re planning a motorcycle trip that will include a visit to Auschwitz-Birkenau in June 2026.
We’re unsure (still debating) whether we should stay at a hotel on-site and get to the memorial with an Uber (leaving our bikes at the hotel) and book a guided tour, or base ourselves in Kraków and take a tour that includes transport.
One thing’s for sure—we’d prefer a guide in French since we don’t speak English 😅.
Could you share your experiences or advice?
I understand we need to book online rather than on-site.
Thanks in advance for your replies!
Hello,
Next October we’re planning to ride the Ruta de la Plata by motorcycle—a historic Spanish route that runs from Gijón to Seville, also known as the N630.
Has anyone here already ridden it?
Unfortunately, I’m worried that parts of the N630 may have disappeared or merged with the A66 motorway, forcing us to ride long stretches of highway, which we’d rather avoid.
Thanks in advance for any tips or details about this route!
Hi there!
I’m currently planning a 9-day route starting from Marrakech with my husband. We land on the morning of June 13th—so soon! 😊
And we’re flying back to France on June 21st at 9 PM!
We’ve rented two Royal Enfield 450s.
This is our first motorcycle trip in Morocco. I got my license two years ago with the dream of taking this kind of trip, and here we are! ✌️😍
In France, we usually ride between 300 to 400 km per day on roadsters. We’re not used to off-road tracks, so we’re looking for easy ones 😅—especially for me 😅.
For Morocco, I’ve planned stages of 200 to 300 km per day.
Here’s the idea:
Day 1 (departure at noon): Marrakech - Tizi n Test - Tafingoult (165 km - 4h15)
Day 2: Tafingoult - Amzarkou - Telouet (200 km - 4h34)
Day 3: Telouet - Ait Benhaddou - Ouarzazate - Boumalne (200 km - 3h30) (+ Vallée des Roses maybe)
Day 4: Boumalne - Dades Gorges - Agoudal - Todra Gorges - Tinghir - Goulmima (291 km - 6h)
Day 5: Goulmima - Midelt - Cirque Jaffar - Agoudim (280 km - 4h45)
Day 6: Agoudim - Imilchil - Aghbala - El Ksiba (280 km - 4h45)
Day 7: El Ksiba - La Cathédrale - Zaouiat Ahansal (212 km - 4h20)
Day 8: Ahansal - Ouzoud Waterfalls via R 302 (188 km - 4h22)
Day 9: Ouzoud - Marrakech (160 km - 2h43)
End of the trip 😮.
What do you think?
We haven’t booked any hotels—is that a problem? We were thinking of deciding day by day based on our progress.
Can we take our helmets with us in the cabin, or should we pack them in the checked luggage surrounded by clothes to avoid damage?
