Is it a popular place for bikers?
and why?

I am planning to do a trip to Coromandel end of this year

or should I say... Tour? lol

Oh and also, My current bike is capable of doing this right? lol

It's just a plan

Definitly do it man. Your bike will do it, just take it easy and have heaps of fun. Is an awesome road with heaps of twisties and alot of great scenery, makes for great shots of ya bike.

And your Scorpio will handle all the gravel roads with ease too. See more than just the coro-loop, head right up to the end!

Hey EJ, if you want to do it - I'd ride with you no worries mate, it's biker heaven out there and some very interesting sights to see!

It's a very nice ride, a wide variety of different roads. Long sweepers, very tight (marked 15kph!) twisties, gorgeous scenery. What was the route we took, Justin? Half loop?

Do it! Small bike, doesn't matter. The only thing is cars will hold you up and it'll be tough to pass them.

Well, you can make a day of it like most of us do, and do the 'coro loop/coro GP". There are a couple of different routes to take, but all incompass the 'coro loop'... the only thing that varies is distance and direction.

Having ridden a Scorpio myself i would say hell yeh! You won't be the fastest person out there but those scorpios have more than enough grunt to get you up the hills and through the twisties. There are a few parts where the 600cc+ bikes top 200kmh and a bit more if they want to, but there is nothing wrong with cruising and taking in the scenery.

If you want to make it a tour, there are many 'B' roads, that turn to gravel etc that will let you see a lot more than the average sportsbike rider is brave enough to discover.
