There's a reason people fall hard for motorbikes. The way the road feels different on two wheels. The focus it demands. The sense of freedom that arrives the moment you clear the last set of traffic lights and open the throttle. RedBalloon's motorbike rides put you in the seat of some of Australia's most iconic machines, from Harley Davidsons rolling through wine country to hot laps on a Kawasaki Ninja at a proper race circuit. With 24 experiences across NSW, Victoria, Queensland, WA, SA and the NT, there's a motorcycle experience that fits your style, whether you've been riding for decades or you're stepping onto two wheels for the first time.
Types of motorbike experiences
Harley Davidson tours
A Harley Davidson tour is all about style and scenery. You ride pillion with an experienced driver, which means no licence is required, and the route does the work. Harley Davidson rides are available in Sydney, the Hunter Valley, the Blue Mountains and other scenic regions. They're popular for anniversaries, birthdays and sightseeing tours that want to feel a bit more like a film.
Motorcycle hot laps and track days
For riders who want to push the machine and themselves, RedBalloon offers hot lap experiences and full track days. The Kawasaki Motorbike Thrill Ride in Victoria lets you choose between a Ninja 300, ZX6 or ZX10 and take it around Broadford's race circuit as fast as it will go, with no speed cameras and all the gear provided. The Motorcycle Track Day on Your Own Bike is ideal for riders who already own a bike and want access to one of the best circuits in Australia.
Trike tours and scenic rides
Prefer to ride as a passenger? Trike tours put you on a three-wheeled motorcycle with a licensed driver at the front. Available in Darwin, Sydney and select other cities, they're a great option for couples and anyone who wants the open-air experience without needing a licence.
Where to book motorbike rides in Australia
Experiences are available across NSW (Sydney, Hunter Valley, Blue Mountains, Central Coast), Victoria (Melbourne, Broadford), Queensland (Brisbane, Gold Coast), WA (Perth), SA (Barossa Valley) and the Northern Territory (Darwin). Browse by location to find what's nearest to you.
Motorbike rides as a gift
A motorbike experience is the kind of gift that lands for anyone who lives for a bit of speed or wants to try something they've always been curious about. It works for birthdays, Father's Day, Christmas and milestone occasions. Give it as a voucher and let the recipient pick their date. Browse motorbike gift experiences to find the right fit.
Do I need a motorbike licence for these experiences?
It depends on the experience. Pillion rides (Harley tours, trike tours) don't require a licence as you ride as a passenger. Track days and hot lap experiences where you ride solo generally require a valid motorbike licence. Check individual experience pages for specific requirements.
What is it like riding a motorbike for the first time?
Exhilarating and a little intense in the best way. For first-timers, a pillion tour on a Harley or trike is the ideal entry point as you get all the feel of the ride without needing any skills. If you want to take the controls yourself, look for beginner-friendly track experiences with instructor guidance.
What should I wear for a motorbike ride?
Closed-toe shoes, long pants and a jacket are recommended. Helmets are always provided. Some operators provide full riding gear; check the individual listing to confirm what's included before you arrive.
