Roads in Austria?
Colleagues,
I plan to do 7-10 days tour to Austria this year as I kinda always went around and never came in to see more of (I think) very beatiful country.
I do not have much details yet, but we plan around first half of July and plan to avoid at all costs big roads, or let say big motorways.
Here is question. I have 2 bikes and can't decide which one to take.
One is touring-setup VTR1000F honda, another Suzuki DR800 that setup to use supermoto wheels when paved roads planned, also touring setup but quite better for bad roads of course thou slower a lot.
I want to take VTR, but question that bothers me is - are roads in good state in Austria, e.g. mountain passes or I shall expect same level of deterioration as you see on Norway backroads often (for example), e.g. badly damaged surface, deep roots etc.? Will I feel good on VTR there or...?
I been to French, Swiss and Italian side and those seemed OK, but I prefer to ask. For example in Belgium where I live you may find suprisingly bad roads for such small and rich country
