Cape Town is one of the most rewarding motorcycle destinations on earth — a compact city surrounded by ocean roads, mountain passes and wine valleys, with an entire province of open highway behind it.

One of the world's great coastal roads, cut into the mountainside high above the water. Slow, deliberate riding with views that make you want to stop at every turnout — and you should.

Western Cape Road Trips

Give yourself several days and the province opens up: the Overberg, the whale coast, the Karoo edge and the long road east. Open highways, changing landscapes and somewhere new each night.
