Motorcycling abroad is even more fun if you know where to find the most beautiful routes. At MotoShare we love top lists and now that the summer season is upon us, we would like to give you some inspiration for the most beautiful motorcycle routes in Europe.

When you go abroad on your motorbike, the sights are certainly not the most important thing. It varies per trip, but actually all motorbike holidays have something in common: the motorbike route is very important. Because that is what makes your motorbike holiday. The bends, the hills and valleys, the straights. See our top 10 most beautiful motorbike routes in Europe. In no particular order as far as we are concerned!
