Best for riding is Norway - eye watering beautiful scenery around the fjords - and worst (because of disregard for road rules by vehicle operators and pedestrians) is China.
China does have some brilliant remote areas, magnificent engineering and road/bridge/tunnel construction (try the freeways through Guizhou province), and beautiful scenery though.

Agree!
Austria has Great Roads, but their highway-robbery is awful.
Vignette, then add Tolls + Tolls + Tolls....

Worst? Any place where it has been raining for a week to make everything damp and where the visibility is so poor you can only just see the road - nothing else can be seen. May as well have staid at home.
Best ... to many types to chose from. And there are bits I'd leave out of any of them .. so no one country. And there are people I'd leave out too. Other than those bits/people .. any country I have been too has provided joy. Are some better than others? It is like picking the best fruit.. mangoes, passion fruit, pineapple, ... best? They are all different.

Horizons Unlimited was founded in 1997 by Grant and Susan Johnson following their journey around the world on a BMW R80G/S.
Read more about Grant & Susan's story
Membership - help keep us going!
Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.
You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
