Sport-touring with the emphasis on Sport. The Sprint ST is the solution when you crave a sport bike but want to ride all day and need to be comfortable the whole trip.

Offered with the additional security of ABS, the Sprint ST has been our most popular model and a big favourite with the guides.

In their May 2006 issue Rider (US) Magazine chose the Truimph Sprint ST as their favourite Sport-Touring motorcycle over the VFR800FI, Ducati ST3 ABS and BMW 1200ST.

The Sprint ST is perfect for those looking for a touring bike with elements of a European sport bike, for solo or two-up riding.

TWO-Wheels Magazine liked the Tiger 1050 so much, they awarded it 5 stars and have hailed it as the world’s best all-rounder.

“Motorcycling’s perfect motor” mounted in a performance sport chassis with top of the line brakes. Wow!

The Triumph Speed Triple 1050 delivers pure sports enjoyment without the back-ache of a repli-racer.

If you’re not smiling while riding a Speed Triple around mountain curves, call a doctor, you’re sick. One of BIKE (UK) Magazine’s top 10 bikes in any category and #1 in their Naked Bike of the Year Issue (2006).

Perfect for the holiday hooligan seeking a pure adrenaline ride without all the comforts of a full-fairing sport bike.

If you’re a fan of classic sport motorcycles but don’t want to sacrifice modern performance, this is your bike.

Equipped with upright handlebars, mini-fairing, a gel seat and after-market pipes, the Thruxton is a real crowd pleaser.

Warning: after a couple of days listening to the 900cc twin roar along winding roads, you may just have to add one to the garage at home.

Perfect for the individual looking for a fun, retro, sport bike that is easy to handle and not intimidating with its size.

Combining the potent torque of the BMW Boxer engine with the sophisticated design and smooth ride of a premium-touring machine, the R1200 RT delivers an optimal mix of excitement and comfort for both rider and passenger.

Unlike other touring bikes this size, the R1200 RT is still great fun in the corners while offering every creature comfort a motorcyclist could ask for. Mozart in the Mountains … why not?!

Twisties? Touring? Gravel roads? New to our fleet for 2008 it hardly matters because to the R 1200 GS, the most versatile machine in the GS lineup.

BMW F650 GS

New to our fleet for 2008 the F650 GS is a very versatile bike that offers the complete package. Ideal for both on & off-road situations (although we’d prefer you stay on the road) this factory lowered Enduro model was ushered in to replace some of our aging smaller Triumphs. Part of a new generation of revolutionary motorcycles, the BMW Enduro class is being called the “do-it-all” motorcycle. We just call it “a fun little bike”.

Perfect for women and shorter riders who don’t want to sacrifice comfort for German ingenuity and efficiency.

The Italians are famous for their wonderful styling and booming V-twin engines. And the Breva 1100 is a remarkable example of this tradition.

Equipped with a windscreen and bags, this is the choice for Italiophiles that can still provide all-day comfort.

Either solo or two-up, the stable chassis and loads of torque make for effortless roll-on blasts between corners. If you’ve never ridden a Guzzi, this is the one to try.

Perfect for those who desire the ideal touring bike with an Italian flair but without the size and bulk of your typical larger tourers.

The timeless detachable windshield leads the way.

Testimonials

Just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed the motorcycle tour through beautiful BC (and part of Alberta too).

Unlike most trips, yours is one that I would do again. You and Ryan were fun, friendly, considerate and very professional hosts.

And I did mean it when I said that yours was the most intelligently planned and executed tour that I’ve been on.”

Barbara Stewart, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
