It's late, but there's still time to book one of the best motorcycle trips you'll ever take: Motorcyclist's annual Alps Challenge Tour. This year's ride promises to be truly epic, as it takes place in the stunningly beautiful Austrian Alps, June 21-29. We'll start in Munich, Germany, ride southeast into Austria's picturesque Lake District, and then head to Graz, one of Europe's best-preserved Alpine villages. From there we'll head west, traversing challenging switchbacks on our way to Zell am See, a high-end resort in Salzburg. Great food, great riding and even better camaraderie are all part of the deal.
But then what would you expect from your favorite magazine? Prices range from $3530 to $5110 depending on your choice of bike and accommodations. Choose from BMW Kand R-models (GSs are a favorite), Ducati Multistradas and STs, Suzuki V-Stroms and SVs, Honda 600s and even Harleys.
