What's included in a JavaRide trip?
Motorcycle, riding gear, a support vehicle, a towing vehicle for technical routes, a mechanic on the road, an experienced road captain, accommodation, and meals. You bring yourself — everything else is arranged.”
Can I bring a camera setup or film content during my trip?
Yes. Whether you’re shooting a motovlog, building a photography portfolio, or just documenting the ride for yourself, our road captains can help plan stops around light, viewpoints, and moments worth capturing — just let us know when you enquire so we can build extra time into the route for it.
Is insurance included?
The trip package covers the motorcycle, gear, support vehicle, and crew — but personal travel insurance and motorcycle damage liability are not included. If a bike is damaged in an accident during the trip, repair costs are the rider’s responsibility. We strongly recommend arranging personal travel insurance that covers motorcycle riding before you arrive, and we’re happy to talk through what that should cover based on your route.
Do I need an international driving permit or a specific motorcycle license?
Yes — you’ll need an International Driving Permit (IDP) valid for motorcycles, alongside a valid motorcycle license from your home country. Let us know your license category when you enquire so we can confirm it covers the class of bike on your route.
What level of riding experience do I need?
It depends on the ride. On-road touring (Harley-Davidson, Yamaha X-Max) is accessible to most riders with a standard license — no technical off-road skill needed. Cultural touring routes suit riders with moderate experience. Technical offroad and dual-sport routes are built for riders comfortable on loose gravel, river crossings, and mountain terrain. Circuit track days have their own requirements — tell us your experience level when you enquire and we’ll recommend what fits.
Can I bring my own riding gear?
Yes. Gear is provided as part of every trip, but if you have gear you already trust the fit of, you’re welcome to bring and ride in your own.
Can I book a single-day ride instead of a multi-day trip?
Yes. Alongside our multi-day routes, we offer single-day experiences — private dirtbike adventures at spots like Hambalang and Bromo, and circuit track days at Mandalika and Sentul. Let us know which one you’re after when you enquire.
What size groups can you handle?
Anything from a solo rider to a large group. Every trip is private and built around who’s actually riding — a solo rider, a few friends, a company outing, or a visiting motorcycle club that doesn’t want the hassle of shipping bikes to Java.
Can you build a route that's not on your list, or one that crosses into Bali or Lombok?
Yes. Beyond our catalog of set routes, we can build a fully improvised itinerary from scratch — you tell us where to start, where to end, and what you want to see along the way. Most journeys stay within Java, but for riders with more time, a route can extend into Bali or Lombok as well.
Do visiting motorcycle clubs need to bring their own motorcycles?
No — that’s exactly the kind of trip JavaRide is built for. We provide the bikes, so a visiting club can ride Java without shipping motorcycles overseas.
Do you support production shoots or brand content days?
Yes. We work with gear brands and production crews needing authentic filming locations across Java, with logistics support for crew, equipment, and access to routes and communities most productions can’t reach on their own. Get in touch and tell us what you’re planning.”Renewal packets contain the following; Adult members only, New STAR membership card, small year rocker for the year you renewed, welcome letter, and current discount card(s).
How does booking and payment work?
A 50% deposit secures your booking, with the remaining balance due 5 days before your ride begins.
What's your cancellation policy?
If you need to cancel, payments made are non-refundable. If JavaRide needs to cancel a trip, you’ll receive a full refund. Need to change your dates instead of cancelling? We’re flexible — any payment already made carries over as credit toward your rescheduled trip.
What's included in a circuit track day?
The sport motorcycle and full riding gear are provided at the circuit — you don’t need to bring or rent your own. No prior track experience is required; it’s open to first-timers as well as experienced riders.
