Getting up early pays off: the air is cool, the roads are empty and the light bathes the landscape in warm colours. A ride at dawn may be the purest form of motorcycling.

Tips for the morning ride

  • Warm up: Tyres and body need a few kilometres to reach operating temperature.
  • Watch for wildlife: Animals are especially active at dawn – ride with foresight along forest edges.
  • Enjoy the moment: Stop briefly when the sun comes up. That moment is yours.
