A Brief History


Once upon a time in India... When he first arrived in New Delhi at just 19 years old to study at Nehru University, Alexandre Zurcher had no way of predicting the boundless adventures which awaited him. Wanting to make the most of his time in this vibrant country, he learned how to ride a motorcycle and discovered an entirely new universe opened up before him. For Alex there was no better choice for this motorcycle tour than the iconic Indian mount, Royal Enfield. This experience was a revelation! Motorbike tours are synonymous with escape, discovery, and freedom, affording riders the ability to go anywhere and blend seamlessly into the local population. This vision of travel has been in our DNA since Vintage Rides was established in 2006: Motorcycle adventures with character, providing a unique vantage point from which to experience the world around you. When we first began, our pioneering motorbike tour agency specialized exclusively in India with a focus on Adventure Tours in the Himalayas. We wanted to make sure we were offering experiences that weren’t available elsewhere, including the opportunity to summit the highest road in the world at 5,600 meters. It was - and still is - an unbelievable accomplishment, one that few riders will ever have the opportunity to experience. The feedback was outstanding and demand for our tours exploded, leading to the creation of our first office in New Delhi. As more and more riders returned looking for new and exhilarating experiences, we expanded to offering motorbike tours in Rajasthan and southern India. As we continued to grow, we crafted unique travel opportunities across Mongolia, then Sri Lanka… Twenty-one countries later, Vintage Rides has a new headquarters in Lyon, France and guides more than 1,200 riders per year on adventures spanning four continents.  “I am truly grateful for how far we have come! I am so grateful to our team and the entire community of Vintage Riders who have taken motorbike tours with us since the beginning of this incredible adventure.” Alex

Our Motobike Tours Values

  • Camaraderie 
Motorbike tours have a unique ability to amplify the impact of new experiences in culture, nature and travel; when an adventure is shared, it becomes exponentially more meaningful. You will find yourself creating amazing memories with many wonderful people in the communities that dot our path. There is also an undeniable bond forged between those within your group: your guides, mechanics, drivers and traveling companions. Whether you want to embark on a motorbike tour on your own, with a partner, or with a group of friends, our guaranteed departures ensure that you will never ride alone. We also keep our tour groups small, meaning you will be treated to quiet moments with fellow enthusiasts that will take your breath away.
  • Challenge
One of our goals as a motorbike tour operator is to facilitate experiences that are much more than just a vacation. We want to awaken your inner adventurer, guide you through conquering some of the most remote tracks in the world aboard beautiful motorcycles with classic character. Our custom motorbike tours are crafted by expert local guides, with incredible itineraries that are guaranteed to take you far from the typical tourist route. Choosing the roads less travelled for your adventure motorbike tour sometimes means confronting adversity and pushing yourself out of your comfort zone, but it also means teamwork, encouragement and support. There are few feelings in life quite as sweet as facing challenges head-on and emerging victorious!
  • Authenticity
Adventure according to Vintage Rides is a state of mind. By choosing our motorbike touring agency, understand that you will not be riding huge distances of characterless asphalt, simply to connect Point A to Point B. It is our belief that the most important thing is the journey traveled. The days in the saddle, the thrill of riding in unique settings, experiencing everything from bustling “can’t miss” destinations and confidential local gems; these are the encounters that will reveal the authentic heart and soul of any country.
