Fair-weather riders have tucked their bikes away and are counting the days until the first warm rays of spring. If you don’t want to take a winter break, Europe only offers a handful of destinations that really fit the bill. After previous winter rides on Madeira and Gran Canaria, Tenerife was this year’s chosen one.

The Canary Island is a popular destination for holidaymakers looking to escape winter. We set out to find out whether it’s also a great place for motorcycling. Short answer: “¡Sí, señor!” The long answer is waiting for you below, topped off with our four favourite roads on the island.

There were also a few new models on display, including the BMW F450 GS, the Voge DS900X Adventure, the Suzuki SV-7 GX, the Honda CB1000GT, the Ducati Hypermotard V2 and the Kawasaki KLE 500.

Below some snaps. If you want to see it all for yourself, the Brussels Motor Show runs until January 18. Continue reading →
