L-Plate Rider
Just got my hands on my new VFR 800 and have returned to AKLD after 2 years in Melbourne. I'm keen to know about any good day trips in and around Auckland. For example, today I went from Epsom --> Albany --> Riverhead --> Back to Epsom. A short one just to test ride my new wheels. Still got a big grin on my face
Anyone got any suggestions (perhaps there is already a list somewhere). If not, maybe we could start one.

West Auckland is a good place to start.
Scenic Drive is a worthy ride in its own right, plus it has a bunch of interesting diversions e.g.
Piha Road
Lone Kauri Drive
Little Huia
Bethells Beach
The greatest pleasure of my recent life has been speed on the road. . . . I lose detail at even moderate speed but gain comprehension. . . . I could write for hours on the lustfulness of moving swiftly.

Coro GP........cough........I mean loop
To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and to endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know that even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded

Nelson to Wanaka via Murchison ,Buller Gorge and the WEST COAST.
Kind of a real big trip for a day but put it in your plans for the future as a must do ride.

Around Auckland area?Originally Posted by Duc
Anyway, I agree with those who said West Auckland. Piha, SH16, Bethells beach, Scenic Drive, Muriwai, etc.

North, Old North Rd up to Warkworth,
South, 22. Raglan,
East, Hunua ranges, Kaiaua/Coromandel...
Superb choice of bike! Get Blade1000 to gut out the pipes!!!

Over rated Boob....Coro GP........cough........I mean loop
One half of it is ok.
Just gotta look at a map really eh?
Muriwai to Mangawhai is a good ride, on SH1 for about 300mts.
And some just go straight to the pub.

Que?
Old North Road, SH16 is good, watch out for the Ginga. SH22 is better IMHO and a nice jaunt down to Raglan. Coro is not over-rated for at least the first half a dozen loops.
Closer to home, the Eastern Bays, Clevedon, Kaiaua run is good, as with Piha, but I got bored with the West Coast real quick.

Scenic drive is awesome but dangerous take your time and ride the whole road , Then go do the piha road !

+1 - Scenic drive (and anything else in the Waitakeres) has almost every hazard you can imagine waiting just around the next bend.
But they're all lovely roads at a sedate pace.
