Guided tour – All prices include the flight from Frankfurt

Indian Summer New England & Niagara Falls

12 Days – Guided Tour

Join us on a classic motorcycle tour through the New England states in the northeastern USA, with a brief visit to Canada. The New England states, Boston, Bangor, a visit to OCC County Choppers, Cape Cod, Niagara Falls, Acadia National Park, and wild, untouched landscapes are the highlights. Experience a guided tour with one of our USA experts as your tour guide and the iconic motorcycle brand: Harley-Davidson®.

We've prepared a well-planned tour for you that includes a good number of miles of riding each day, while also making sure you have plenty of time to see the sights along the way. The motorcycles for our guided tours are mostly from the Harley-Davidson® authorized rental program. This gives us an excellent selection of the latest models with low mileage, all perfectly prepared for you. As an added bonus, the entire tour is accompanied by a van. This will transport your luggage during the tour, and depending on space, companions can also ride along – meaning pure motorcycling for you!
