[Andrea XR]

Hi to all, I'm planning a tour for April 2020,
the idea is a "ring" of about 9-10 days that will start and will end in Melilla.
the tour is thinked for motorbike like africa twin, GS and so on, 10 bikes, mainly on paved road or light offroad, I'd like to try the Jirque of jaffar, but recent videos on youtube scares my mates alot.
maximum 450 km/day
The cental part of the travel is basically defined, but I,'m looking for suggestions
here is may actual plan

day 1 Melilla > Midelt (I need to find good roads)
day 2 Midelt > Merzouga
day 3 Merzouga > Tinghir
day 4 Tinghir - Thodra - Agoudal - Dades - Ouarzazate
day 5 Ouarzazate - Tizi n' Test (actually doable ?)- Marrakech
day 6 Marrakech - Essaouira - Safi (I need to find good roads)
day 7 Safi - ? (I need to find good roads)
day 8 ? - Melilla (I need to find good roads)
day 9 spare day
day 10 spare day

A quick reply, Tizi N Test is fine. All tarmac apart from some roadworks and potholes. You are going over a mountain pass so the road is narrow in places and corners are tight. Scenery is stunning. I did it a couple of years ago on my G650x xCountry, see below.

Test is same as usual.
Landslides get cleared in hours or days on main roads.

day 5 Ouarzazate - Tizi n' Test (actually doable ?)- Marrakech

Doable, but you stick to main roads which is a bit of a waste.
Some great routes north of Taliouine through the hills and over the Atlas to the R203. All doable on the bikes you mention.
