Standard Class
Our most popular class, perfect for riders who are returning to motorcycling or may feel less confident. These lightweight, easy-to-handle 250cc motorcycles are ideal for riding 100–200 km in a day. They can be used on highways and expressways, allowing you to visit most major sightseeing spots with ease.
Advanced Class
This class includes motorcycles over 401cc, suitable for long-distance touring, highway-focused rides, and multi-day trips. The larger engine capacity provides more power and a comfortable ride, so some riders choose this class even for shorter journeys.
Premium Class
Designed for experienced riders seeking the ultimate experience, this class features motorcycles over 1000cc. Perfect for those who want top-level performance, power, and comfort.
All motorcycles in the Standard, Advanced, and Premium classes are equipped with ETC devices, allowing you to use toll roads.
ETC cards are available for rent. Charges will be settled separately after your ride. If you know your planned route in advance, we can invoice you beforehand.
For guided tours, toll road fees are included in the tour price.

We strive to keep the motorcycles as close to their original condition as possible, and no special modifications or tuning have been made.
