Honda Ride Out 101 - A Route, Bike and Accesory Guide

Maidstone Honda Motorcycle Ride Out Plan

We know it can sometimes be quite hard to plan a trip to remember on the motorcycle, so with summer fast approaching we asked our guys over at Maidstone Honda for a ride route, their ideal bikes they'd take on the ride and the modifications they would make to the bikes. We also asked if there were any accessories they'd recommend.

For this ride route, they chose France!

Scroll down to see their ride highlights, the route and their bike recommendations...

Our team's recommended rides...

Honda Ride Out 101: CB1000R - Michelin Road 6 Tyres

Matt's choice

CB1000R

(Matte Beta Silver Metallic)

"The CB1000R is tuned for adrenaline-fuelled adventures - perfect for the country lanes and countryside twisties. I'd pair this bike with the Michelin Road 6 tyres and grab a tank bag too."

Honda Ride Out 101: CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP - Pirelli Supercorsa Tyres

David's choice

CBR1000RR-R Fireblade SP

(Grand Prix Red)

"There's no better choice than a super-sport bike to have some fun on cross country. It's packed with a ludicrous amount of power and handling - I'll meet you over there!"

Honda Ride Out 101: NT1100 DCT - Michelin Road 6 Tyres

Chris' choice

NT1100 (DCT)

(Matte Iridium Grey Metallic)

"I'd love to take the NT1100 DCT to test what it can do. Equipped with a voyage pack I'd be ready with a top box, tank bag, fog lights and probably more! I'd add the immaculate new Road 6's for ultimate grip too."

Honda Ride Out 101: X-ADV - Bridgestone Battlax Scooter SC Tyres

Paul's choice

X-ADV

(Grand Prix Red)

"For a trip this long I've gone for the easy rider, twist and go X-ADV. I wouldn't need much more storage as there is plenty under the seat already."

Honda Ride Out 101: Africa Twin (DCT) - Bridgestone Battlax Adventure Crosstourer Tyres

Brayden's choice

Africa Twin (DCT)

(Grand Prix Red)

"For a fairly new bike rider, comfort would be key and any added tech riding assistance would be appreciated! I would just add a top box and lower the seat to its lowest."

Manufacturer offers can not be redeemed in conjunction with any of the Laguna exclusive offers.

Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) is an Appointed Representative of Automotive Compliance Ltd who is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA No. 497010). Automotive Compliance Ltd’s permissions as a Principal Firm allows Laguna Motorcycles Limited (which include multiple trading names: Laguna Motorcycles, Laguna Performance Centre, Laguna Triumph, Maidstone Honda, Maidstone Harley-Davidson® and Kent Motorcycles) to act as a credit broker, not a lender, for the introduction to a limited number of lenders, and to act as an agent on behalf of the insurer for insurance distribution activities only.

We are a credit broker and not a lender. We can introduce you to a carefully selected panel of lenders, which includes manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent. We act on behalf of the lender for this introduction and not as your agent. We are not impartial, and we are not an independent financial advisor.

Our approach is to introduce you first to the manufacturer lender linked directly to the particular franchise you are purchasing your vehicle from, who are usually able to offer the best available package for you, taking into account both interest rates and other contributions. If they are unable to make you an offer of finance, we then seek to introduce you to whichever of the other lenders on our panel is able to make the next most suitable offer of finance for you. Our aim is to secure a suitable finance agreement for you that enables you to achieve your financial objectives. If you purchase a vehicle, in the majority of cases, we will receive a commission from your lender for introducing you to them which is either a fixed fee, or a fixed percentage of the amount that you borrow. This may be linked to the vehicle model you purchase.

Different lenders pay different commissions for such introductions, and manufacturer lenders linked directly to the franchises that we represent may also provide preferential rates to us for the funding of our vehicle stock and also provide financial support for our training and marketing. But any such amounts they and other lenders pay us will not affect the amounts you pay under your finance agreement; however, you will be contributing towards the commission paid to us with the interest collected on your repayments. Before we propose you to a potential lender, we will inform you of the likely amount of commission we will receive and seek your consent to receive this commission. The exact amount of commission that we will receive will be confirmed prior to you signing your finance agreement.

All finance applications are subject to status, terms and conditions apply, UK residents only, 18s or over. Guarantees may be required. Please see our complaints page for our complaints policy and regulatory complaints.
