I agree with Andrew, New Zealand is by far the best country to tour. I have travelled extensively and NZ has parts or the best countries enroled into one, they speak english, there's very few cars on the road, the highways are in great condition, great food, great scenery, great people. It's a motorcyclists paradise.

I loved it so much I moved from the UK and now run a motorcycle touring company called South Pacific Motorcycle Tours from Christchurch in the South Island. Now that's a testimonial for New Zealand motorcycle touring.
