Bonjour,
j'ai passé 40 jours au SL et j'ai loué une Honda 250 XR.
J'ai fait pratiquement 3000 kms avec et super voyage !
Si quelqu'un veut des renseignements, prix, adresses de
location ect..n'hésitez pas.
Hello,
je suis en effet intéressé par des infos :)
Je pars 2-3 semaines en juillet avec ma femme et vu que je suis motard dans l'âme j'aime bien toujours louer des motos durant mes voyages.
Je suppose qu'ils demandent le permis internationale?
Faut-il laisser son passport durant la location? une copie suffit-elle?
Quel genre de caution est demandé durant la lcoation?
Quels sont les tarifs moyen pratiqué à la journée pour une location de bécane?
Le coût de l'essence sur place? La disponibilité de station essence?
Las sécurité et les riques sur la route?
merci

Hello,
il te faut le permis international et avec tu vas à Colombo à l'automobile Ceylan club pour faire un permis d'un mois pour pouvoir rouler au SL car le permis international n'est pas valide (3400 rs et fait en 15 mn).Il te faut une photocop de ton passeport et du permis de l'automobile club de Ceylan.Pour la caution c'est 100€ pour 35 jours, du moins pour moi.Le prix de la loc, c'est 13,50€ par jour mais pour 35 jours, il faut négocier à mort car au début le gus te demandera autour de 30€..../jour !!! Il rêve..Pour le prix de l'essence c'est pas cher, du style 800 à 1000 rs pour le plein pour une Honda 250 XR et tu fais 150 kms env..Des stations services "petrol station" il y en a partout, chaque 15 kms env, no problem de ce côté là.Pour la sécu, tu roules à gauche, la vitesse max c'est 70 km/h et c'est farci de flics sur les routes mais en général ils arrêtent pas les touristes.Par contre, gaffe aux chiens, aux vaches, singes, varans mais surtout aux bus, c'est des killers !!! Mais on s'y fait vite..à coups de klaxons :-) Sinon les 250 cc sont les plus gros modéles et ça suffit largement !
Si tu veux des adresses de loc, contacte-moi en MP.

Est-ce possible de circuler avec un 125 ou pas assez puissant?
Il demandent bien le permis moto pour la 250 pas uniquement l'auto?
Merci à vous pour tous les renseignements.
Merci à vous pour tous les renseignements.
Bonjour,
si tu es seul la 125 ça va, moins en montagne mais ça va.De toute façon la vitesse est limitée à 70 km/h max et c'est farçi de flics sur les routes...!!! Pour une 250 cc, il te faut le permis provisoire d'un mois que tu dois aller faire à "Colombo à L'Automobile Club of Ceylan".Tu en as pour un quart d'heure et ça te coutera 3400 RS (21€ env.).Il te faut le permis internationnal et ton passeport.Pour ce qui est de la légalité, aucun problème avec les loueurs mais pas avec les flics...Je me suis fais contrôler une fois à la fin de mon séjour et ils m'ont fait remarquer que je ne pouvais pas conduire une 250 cc car je n'ai que le permis B ! Ils voulait que j'aille payer 2500 RS au Post office de la ville la plus proche avec "LA MOTO"car c'était entre deux villes...Ils me gardaient le permis puis je revenais le récupérer avec la facture et je pouvais repartir !!!
Mais au bout d'un quart d'heure de blabla et sans backchich, en restant cool, ils m'ont dit ok tu peux y aller..Mais en général, ils arrêtent pas les touristes..
Si tu veux d'autres renseignements, n'hésite pas.
Beito
Merci pour ta réponse. Je suis seule avec ma chienne et donc la 125 devrait suffire. J'avais fait ça dans le nord de la Thailande il y a une dizaine d'années. J'avais dû galérer pendant deux jours pour qu'ils acceptent de me louer une moto 125cc et pas un scooter car... j'étais une femme et les femmes roulent en scooter! ;-)
Je ne roule qu'en deux roues à Paris comme en corse mais n'ai pas de permis moto... je ne louerai donc qu'une 125.
Bonne journée et encore merci!

Bonjour,
de toute façon que tu loues une 125 ou une 250 c'est pareil car à la base, si tu n'as pas le permis c'est interdit...mais ça passe...Aucun problème pour louer, si tu as le permis provisoire Srilankais..
Mais les 125 c'est des motos de route et donc pas des trails..Il existe aussi des 100cc,120cc,125cc,130cc,150cc,190cc et des 200cc, c'est pas comme chez nous...Mais hormis la 250cc qui est un trail, toutes les autres sont des motos de routes et enfin tu as les scooters.
La moto est vraiment le mieux pour voyager là-bas, soit juste prudente...
A+
Tu as raison, s'il faut le permis moto pour louer une 125cc autant que je loue une 250...
Je t'envoie un MP.
Bonne journée pour toi... moi je vais me coucher.
Bonne journée pour toi... moi je vais me coucher.
Bonjour,
Nous envisageons un voyage au Sri Lanka à moto pendant 15 jours au mois de janvier.
Avez- vous des bons plans au niveau de la location?
Avez- vous un plan de votre road trip?
N'y a-t-il pas de problème au niveau des vols etc...
Existe-il une assurance?
Je suis à la recherche d'un voyage complet et varié. J'ai vu que vous y avez passé le même temps. Pouvez-vous me donner quelques renseignements?
Merci.

Re: scooter au sri lanka (message privé)
Hello,
J'ai fait un copier/coller d'une réponse déjà donnée....Pour louer une moto, il te faut le permis international et avec tu vas à Colombo à l'automobile Ceylan club pour faire un permis d'un mois pour pouvoir rouler au SL car le permis international n'est pas valide (3400 rs et fait en 15 mn).Il te faut une photocop de ton passeport et une du permis de l'automobile club de Ceylan pour louer.Même si tu n'as pas le permis moto européen, les loueurs te loueront une moto et les flics sont cool, tu n'auras pas de probléme. Je l'ai loué à Negombo chez Shane Tours, dans l'avenue aprés le fish market, celle ou il y a tout les hôtels et bars pour touristes...Pour la caution moto c'est 100€ pour 35 jours, du moins pour moi.Le prix de la loc, c'est 13,50€ par jour assurance incluse mais pour 35 jours, il faut négocier à mort car au début le gus te demandera autour de 30€.... /jour !!! Il rêve..Pour le prix de l'essence c'est pas cher, du style 800 à 1000 rs (6€) pour le plein pour une Honda 250 XR et tu fais 150 kms env..Des stations services "petrol station" il y en a partout, chaque 15 kms env, no problem de ce côté là.Pour la sécu, tu roules à gauche, la vitesse max c'est 70 km/h et c'est farci de flics sur les routes mais en général ils arrêtent pas les touristes.Par contre, gaffe aux chiens, aux vaches, buffles, singes, varans mais surtout aux bus, c'est des killers !!! Mais on s'y fait vite..à coups de klaxons :-) Sinon les 250 cc sont les plus gros modéles et ça suffit largement !
Le loueur m'avait installé un gros porte-bagage, trés pratique. Pour un scoot pas de permis mais tu n'auras pas le même rayon de déplacement..., à toi de voir, car .Aprés pour ton parcours, c'est selon ce que tu recherches...les boubous (temples, parcs animaliers ect..) attention tous sont payant et c'est assez cher, jusqu'à 50 dollars ou si tu préferes les plages, restos, alcool (wine shop) et le reste :-) pour le road trip ...15 jours c'est trés court, moi j"y suis resté 40 jours ! Si tu veux en savoir plus, contacte-moi en MP.
Bon voyage

Bonjour,
Je prévois un voyage de 15j au sri lanka avec ma compagne, je suis en train de checker les loueurs, autour de Négombo.
J'étais plus parti sur un scooter pour mettre notre sac a dos de 50L entre mes jambes. Mais j'ai l'impression qu'ils n'ont que des 50cm3 comme scooter?
Je pensai plutôt a un scooter entre 125 et 200..
Sais tu s'il y en a en location?
J'ai le permis A pas de souci de ce coté là...
Merci

Bonsoir, je vais faire le Sri Lanka avec ma fille en aout. Je loue une 350 Royal Enfield chez Sha Lanka à Negombo, j'ai un pote qui à louer chez lui une 250 Baja en réservant part mail il est sérieux. Regarde sur son site s'il à des scooters ou les sites d'autre loueur via google. Si cela peux t'aider
Bonne soirée
que serait on sans le voyage
Bonjour,
oui il y a des scoots mais c'est que des 50 cc. Pour ton sac pas de problème, ils t'installent un gros porte-bagage.Perso, j'avais un 70l et un de 30l, aucun problème sur le porte bagage. Par contre prends 2 tendeurs....Par contre va te faire faire le permis srilankais à l'automobile club de Ceylan à Colombo lorsque tu arrives.C'est obligatoire et valable un mois. Et franchement prends une 250cc trail, tu passes partout et assez rapide...l'essence n'est pas chère et la limitation de vitesse est de 70 km/h.
Bon voyage
Bonjour et merci pour vos réponses.
J'ai eu une proposition d'un loueur pour un honda dio 110 cc à 8 euros par jour ça me parait bien.
J'avais fait les philippines en duo avec une machine de cette cylindrée ça convenait bien pour cruiser tranquille.
Quels sont les tarifs pour un 250?
Sinon pour le permis sri lankais est il possible de le faire faire avant par le loueurs ou faut il y aller en personne?
Parce que nous arriverons samedi aprem et si nous pouvons éviter d'attendre le lundi pour le permis avant de bouger ce serait mieux..
Merci
"Il ne pris jamais de risques et il mourrût sain et sauf"
Bonsoir, le loueur me fait avant le permis Sri Lankais pour 40USD, car j'ai le permis international, Apparemment avec le permis national tu dois te présenter à Columbo à l'automobile club. C'est ce qu'a fait mon pote avec ce loueur pour 50 USD il t'ammene et fait les formalité avec toi. Patrice
que serait on sans le voyage
Bonjour,
si tu y vas toi-même avec ton permis international, ils te le font en 5 minutes pour 21€ env...Et lorsque tu sors du bureau, à l'exterieur sur ta gauche, toujours dans le bâtiment, il y a une guinguette pour manger, c'est pour le personnel mais ils acceptent pour un prix dérisoire !
Bonjour, je ne m’en occupe pas moi même car je reste 20 jours sur place, comme cela je ne « perds » pas une demie journée à Colombo. Je pars direct de chez le loueur avec mon permis. Patrice

Bonjours à vous tous.
Je suis à la recherche de camping autour de BOLZANO ( sud Tyrol), période début septembre.
je serai en moto avec une petite toile de tente.
J'ai pu constater que les prix de certains camping étaient exorbitants.
Si vous avez parcouru les dolomites en motos ou autres et que vous avez campé, je suis preneur de tout renseignements sur les lieux et prix où je puisse me poser pour une nuit ou plusieurs.
Merci à vous tous et faites de beaux voyages.
Hello everyone! ✌️
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.

Hi everyone,
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.
See you soon

Hi everyone,
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!
Ride safe! ✌️ Didier

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.
Hi!
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.

Hi, I’m planning to head to Morocco in early May on my 1200 RT. I’ll be leaving from Dax to Kenitra—happy to ride together if anyone’s up for it!
Hey everyone,
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,

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!

Hi everyone...
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! :)
Have a great day, everyone!!!!!

Hi there!
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?
Thanks for the info! !

Hi there,
In January 2026, I’m planning a motorbike trip through northern Vietnam for 3–4 weeks.
Must-dos: Hanoi, RC4, Dien Bien Phu, and of course the must-see landscapes.

In January 2026, I’m planning a motorbike trip through northern Vietnam for 3–4 weeks.
Must-dos: Hanoi, RC4, Dien Bien Phu, and of course the must-see landscapes.

Hi everyone,
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.
Thanks in advance! 😉 Ladava

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!

Hi everyone,
I’m planning a road trip in Cuba and was wondering if there are any bike rental places (125/500cc) with reasonable rates—not the Harley rental places!
Thanks for your help. Wave of headlights! !

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?
I’d love any tips! 😊 Thanks!
