- There are some spectacular places to ride motorbikes in the UK. That's why Motorcycle Sport and Leisure and MoreBikes have joined forces to create a series of guides to some of the best biking routes across the land.
In this episode, we take three touring motorcycles on some of the best roads in Wales.
We ride the BMW R1250RT, the Kawasaki Ninja 1000 SX, and the Yamaha Tracer 9 GT.
Our route covers the best bits of Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons, with a host of amazing motorcycle roads in both National Parks, and a bit outside the parks too.
In addition to top motorbike routes and some spectacular scenery, we are putting Bridgestone T32 tyres and Bikerheadz kit to test.
For complete route descriptions and more info about the bikes, kit, locations and more, we have a 32-page guide covering riding Snowdonia and the Brecon Beacons, free with October 2021 issue of Motorcycle Sport & Leisure magazine. To get your guide, visit www.classicmagazines.co.uk/is...

Wales 🏴 a stunning place.
Absolutely agreed! :-)
A splendid assortment of bimbles, peeps! 👌🏻
I also recommend the B4520 between Brecon and Builth Wells.
Never any traffic and its a stunning flowing roller-coaster of a back road 🙂
Cracking road!
Nice! :-)
that was really enjoyable! my hats off to the sports biker, cant believe she survived those 3 days, my hands would of fallen off. videos like this want to ditch my sport bike and move to adventure/tourer bike!
Just came across your fantastic “On the fly” video of the Welsh tour. It was almost therapeutic just soaking up the magnificent views that Wales has to offer. Your capture together with commentary describing where you visited was both informative and adequate enough for me to understand. I was up around Snowdonia a couple of weeks ago so it was nice to get a perspective from your footage as you sometimes can miss bits when your riding and concentrating on the road Lol .
beautifu film. I appreciate the motorcycles&scenery in the foreground and the music in the background.
What a wonderful video. Great camera work capture the Wonders of Wales. Thankyou. I'm looking forward to riding to some of those Boston Brecon places when there's some sun in the sky. Thanks for sharing some of those awesome routes and places to ride. All the best 🌠
Great footage. Love a bike trip to Wales. I am slightly concerned that the new 20 mph limits will inevitably lead to other reductions.
It was simply FASCINATING! Thanks for making such a beautiful video showing around these places :-)))
Thanks! Great place to ride!
Spectacular views. What a great ride. Wonderful video
A great inspiration for my tour next year. Very relaxing in hectic times.
Just became your subscriber straight after the 1st route video and this one is also a brilliant one, simply brilliant!! Well done you all, I hope you can share 1 in the future for Scotland too!! Thanks for sharing this amazing series! 👍👍
Thanks! We have a Cairngorms video coming soon.
Just great,lovely scenery well informed video thank you.
Thanks! We have a Lakes video too (th-cam.com/video/WBUnPw3Murc/w-d-xo.html), and Dartmoor and Exmoor coming soon.
brilliant video, stunning views, been all over wales on the dirt bike , need to get up there more on my africa twin.
Just planning a trip to Snowdonia and found this. Really enjoyed it 👍
Amazing road all around there! Have fun!
Well done guys, great vidio. Thanks. 👍😎🇬🇧
My favourite roads all the scenery is my thing ❤❤
Lovely ! I’ve added some of your viewpoints to a tour that I’m planning . Super filming !
Nice! There are some epic routes there!
What an amazing video.
Fantastic weather, great footage, professional editing and the best of all; the voice over.
Hats off!
I agree loved watching it
Ive done 6 tours of Wales. Always rains.😂
After doing Belgium 3 years in a row, decided to do Normandy. 8 hour trip. Just a Ball ache on toll roads.
So back to Wales for the roads. Plus I've bought an older bike this year as I've given up on modern machinery, don't want to do the miles anymore. 1996 Kawasaki Gpz1100E.
Great film. After the Black Mountain road if you had used the A482 to Aberaeron you would have experienced probably one of the UK's best roads, a true hidden gem that bit of tarmac!
That's a great shout! Next time we'll make sure to investigate that one!
Just checked out that road on Google maps, looks sweet 😁👍
Great video loved it!!!!! Can't wait to ride these roads with my friends thank you! Loved the video
Top roads! Enjoy!
Great video. Beautifully shot and produced. Thanks for filming, editing and posting. I know the South Wales routes but not those in the North, so appreciate the recommendations.
Absolutely stunning
amazing ride well done lads!! some solid work been put in there !!
I'm fortunate to live near the Beacons. Glad you enjoyed 👍
Great choice of routes.
A well made video with great narration and incidental music 👍
Thanks, it was lots of fun to make!
Fantastic great to watch cheers lads
Inspiring vid, thanks guys, I'll be planning a trip to this region very soon now 👍
It's definitely worth it!
Exellent video and beautiful views
Many thanks - much appreciated!
Absolute belting vid 👌🏼
Thanks! Great place to ride bikes!
Awesome video mate.
Great video and thankyou for the GPX files :)
Nice route, huh! :-)
cracking review of wales
It's a fabulous place to ride bikes! :-)
Great video. Just done 3 days in Snowdonia. Ssssshhh….
It's good, huh! :-)
Beautiful scenery! And smooth 4K too! Superb!
Smooth? The footage was quite jerky in most shots.
@@Jer0867 Wasnt your graphics card being unable to stream it, was it? Still, good for a cam attached to a bike! Didnt think much of face covering, in this fairly pure mountain air though!
Great vid. Have subscribed as I already get the magazine 👍
Glad you liked it! The trouble is there's so much good riding there that it's tricky to narrow down. :-)
Nice video
Fantastic video guys. Absolutely stunning scenery. So much more interesting than the car journeys on here. With a wider view. What camera's are you using please? I felt I was riding along with you and wished I was!. Thanks Mick.
Great vid. Masterful pronunciation of Welsh names also.
He sounds the part, doesn't he! :-)
Awesome
Thanks!
verry nice video en good commeurtil about the tyres i prefer the michelin road pilot 4
Each to their own. I’ve got new AT41. It’s superb.
Thanks!
Super
Brilliant vid’ and thanks for sharing. Super route, almost too much to take in as there’s so many options in Wales. When the weather’s set fare, what more could you want than a ride out with your fellow motorcyclists?
We were very lucky with the weather! It was glorious! :-)
Lake Clywedog Viewpoint is a very nice spot to visit if you're in Wales
That Ducati!! X
Oh yeah!!!
Hi I'm a new biker and i love so much your videos, i wanna go Wales ,just about How many miles all together you done in that trip and how many miles you did daily? Thank you.
I don't think there is a underground zip line, there is bounce bellow series of trampolines crossing the underground caverns, zip lines are on the hill above the mine ,and also a down hill mountain bike course very popular , then trawsfynydd powerstation decommisioned neuclear Station, but there is a hydro at maentwrog which is run from the waters of the trawsfynydd lake, and also tanygrisiau hydro at blaenau ffestiniog, lake side cafe is next to it, popular with walkers climbers and motorcyclists, oh and the narrow gauge steam train also , just filling in the bits you missed and was not quite correct about my home area, plenty of narrow roads with plenty of bends to keep you on your toes
Great video ! When did you go ? I did a very similar route in early October and the rain was constant ! Perfectly quiet though, and very lonely. Could have been in the wilds of Canada at times 👍🏻
We went during the heatwave last summer. It's never been so hot in Wales! ;-)
@@MorebikesUk Until this year!
Gorgeous. How do I rent a bike and catch a tour in Wales? Coming from US in June.
We worked with Maja from majasmotorcycleadventures.co.uk/ to come up with the route. She might be able to help with tour and bikes.
Sounds like Keith Laird did the commentary.
Hallo, wie sind denn die Straßen da? Hab gehört die sollen ziemlich marode sein?
great vid but where can i get hold of maja!
She's here: majasmotorcycleadventures.co.uk/
i thort you were campping but you stayed in carberis hotel lol
Black mountain road 40mph limit is frustrating
Sadly the swallow falls hotel is now shut.
mae'r fideo hon yn Ardderchog 😀
Diolch! :-)
My playgrounds
Black Mountain Road now start to finish with speed cameras, 40 mph 😢
But it's an average speed calculator between two points so surely you can can pull over mid way just to be sure?
Personally I find it a bleak windy route and prefer the Glyn Nedd - Sennybridge road.
0:27 It always amuses me, how English people call it "Bettys y co-ed"! It's pronounced "Betooss er coyd"! Just a friendly one, not mocking...I know how awkward Welsh pronunciations can be, even for many Welsh people! 😀👍
