I did it in november 2009 with a Toyota HZJ75 and had no problems, not with the road condition not with te road finding. Nice scenery.
greets

Hi,
I did the route in Feb this year, there wasn't anything to trouble a bike. There were snow patches covering small sections of the piste, but they never lasted long. It was muddy and washed out in places, but you should be fine.
The river had engulfed the road towards the end of the Dadaes, so we had to take the Todra route instead, but that info isn't really relevant now (will have got better, will happen again at some point i'm sure) Best to seak local advice at the time, the guy who runs the petrol station in Imilchil was a decent guy, if you go up there it'd be worth asking him.

Ride safe
Sam

Did it a few days ago. No problems whatsoever. Has been one of the highlights of Morocco, I can only recommend it, fairly easy terrain too. There was one oued towards the end (south) where the road was washed away and we had to go through the rocky river bed. Local kids had been removing the big rocks though and showed us an easy route.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
