Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study was to present motorcycle tourism and preferences, behaviors and expectations of motorcyclists. A survey was conducted in 2013 on a sample of 131 motorcyclists. This type of tourism is mainly popular among well-educated men. The aim of travel and its most important element is often just ride. Thus preferred directions are primarily landscape values as well as attractiveness and quality of routes. More important barriers to the development of this form of tourism are economic reasons (it is expensive), poor quality of roads, which translates into safety, and adverse perception of motorcyclists by society.
