Kiwis are a Friendly Bunch . . . Come Motorbike New Zealand and Share a Pie with Us!

Keen to explore somewhere new on two wheels, let us give you a nudge – come ride your Moto Guzzi Downunder, we promise you won’t be disappointed. Not only will the roads leave a lasting footprint in your memory, but the people will make you feel right at home.

Straight up, we’re a friendly bunch down here. Whether you're rolling into a country pub or parking up at a beachside café, you’ll be greeted with a smile, probably a good yarn or two and some good ole fashion Kiwi hospitality. Kiwis love meeting fellow riders, especially those who’ve come from afar to experience our backyard.

We’re a small island nation tucked away in the Pacific, southeast of Australia, but we’re proud of our cultural roots, our tasty fare, sporting accolades and scenic wonders. Our Māori heritage is something we treasure and celebrate, and it can be seen and felt everywhere, from the names of the towns we ride through, to the stories, kai moana and and traditions shared and woven throughout our towns and cities.

And the motorbike riding in New Zealand? World-class. Whether we’re carving through alpine passes, cruising along coastlines, or cutting across quiet farmland, the roads here were made for riding – best experienced on a Moto Guzzi! Low traffic, stunning views, and plenty of spots to stop and take it all in. From the dramatic peaks of the South Island to the volcanic heart of the North, it’s riding that feeds the soul.

And let’s not forget one very important Kiwi tradition – the humble meat pie. Trust us, nothing hits the spot quite like a hot steak and cheese pie at a roadside bakery after a solid morning in the saddle. There’re favourite pie haunts dotted throughout the country, our personal favourite pie stops are: Savans Bakery in Warkworth (North Island), Providence Pantry Pies in Paeroa (North Island), Fat Bastard Pies in Invercargill (South Island) and Sheffield Pies between Christchurch and Arthur’s Pass (South Island).

Alongside pies, we serve strong coffee and local fare countrywide. After a day of riding, don’t be surprised if someone in the pub invites you over for a look in their shed or points you towards the locals’ favourite eatery – a place you won’t find scrolling through the internet.

So, what are you waiting for? Hit the road and come rub shoulders with a a Kiwi. We’re here, pies in hand, ready to ride.
