Bisbee Loops | Best Adventure Motorcycle Rides in Southern Arizona

Are you looking for the best motorcycle day rides in Bisbee, Arizona? If so, you’ve come to the right place. I’ve been living and riding here for years and these are the best motorcycle day rides in Bisbee, Arizona.

Bisbee is America’s southernmost mile-high city at an elevation of 5,300 feet and a beautiful place to ride motorcycles. We have lots of twisty pavement and a good variety of challenging off-pavement rides. The climate ranges from hot and dry at the lower elevations to much cooler temperatures at higher elevations. Spring and fall are the best riding seasons when temperatures are cooler. Summer can be extremely hot and the winter can be very cold, especially at higher elevations. Expect rain during the monsoon season in July/August. It’s not uncommon to get brief snowfall in the mountains during the winter but it usually does not last for very long.
