A luxury motorcycle is priced equivalent to a car and not everyone would have the purchasing power to get one. EMIs become a burden after a point of time. Nevertheless if there is an inkling to get on a bike and ride away to the countryside, then renting a motorbike and going on a conducted bike tour may just be the best thing that could happen to you.

2. Take a longer test ride.

If you have already made up your mind on which you want to own but were not satisfied with the relatively smaller duration of the test ride provided by the dealership, then conducted motorcycling touring works best for your cause. In case you were not satisfied with your choice, then rent out the rival brand on the next weekend.

3. Avoid the hassle of becoming part of Riding gangs.

Contrary to the popular image that is being sold, biker gangs are less of a brotherhood and more of a battle ground of megalomaniacs. On conducted rides, there is no compulsion to be in contact with your fellow bikers post the ride.

4. Leave the planning to the tour company.

On a conducted tour, do what you love doing the most; riding. Leave the ride planning to the tour company. They take care of everything from fuel stops to lunch breaks and from finding new places to explore to even framing your moments on the ride. But you could still invest in a selfie stick of your own.

5. Safety Car

Long rides can be daunting with the prospect of lugging around your luggage, lurking at the back of your mind all the time. Many even put off the urge to ride because of this one particular reason. But a squad car that doubles up as a safety car, can make life on the road simpler. Luggage can not only be stored in this car, but by following the riders at all times, it also provides shelter to the riders from rogue traffic.

6. Take advantage of the new and improved highway network in India.

Highway riding at high speeds throws challenges that are comparable to alpine skiing or climbing some of the world's highest mountains. Tour companies thus heavily emphasize the importance of appropriate riding gears which includes helmets, jackets, shin guards, boots etc. Ride formations are also key to a safe and successful completion of a ride.

8. Leverage your motorcycling passion.

Conducted motorcycling rides bring back the pleasure in riding. When one gets aware of the best practices involved in riding, they gain the confidence to introduce the younger generation to a sport that has suffered from the rash and brash picture that was painted not so long ago.

9. Motorcycle as an Ice-breaker.
