Motorcycle routes in Albania
How riders usually structure a trip in Albania, and what we rent for it.
Albania is a small country with a lot of road in it. Most riding trips fall into one of three shapes.
The coast
Tirana south to Sarandë and back. Long, scenic, mostly good surface, busier in summer. Comfortable on the X-Cape 650 or the Africa Twin.
The north
Slower, higher, more demanding. Riders usually take the CRF300L Rally for its weight or the Africa Twin if they are used to a big bike.
Day rides from Tirana
If you are based in the city, you can ride out and back in a day in almost any direction. This is where the smaller bikes make sense.
Licence matters: the Africa Twin and X-Cape need an A licence, the CRF300L Rally and Voge 300 Rally are A2, and the 125s are ridden on a category B licence.
