Buying guide · by the team at All-Terrain Motorsports, Grand Junction & Rifle CO · updated 2026-08-20
Riders fly across the country to ride roads we use for lunch breaks. If you're bike shopping in Grand Junction or Rifle, these five rides are your test market — and each one flatters a different kind of motorcycle.
Twenty-three miles of red-rock canyon rim right above town: sculpted curves, tunnels, and views that make national ad campaigns jealous. Speed limits are low and enforced, so this is a cruiser and café ride — an Indian or a Triumph Bonneville turns it into pure cinema.
Maybe the best-kept secret in Colorado motorcycling: 50 miles of flowing sweepers through a granite canyon with almost no traffic. This is sport-touring heaven — Ninja, Ducati, SV650, any bike that loves a 60-mph corner. Fuel up in Gateway and keep going to Naturita for the full 141 experience.
From desert to 10,800-foot lakes in under an hour, hairpins included. Cool air on a July afternoon and aspen gold in September. Everything works here, but the climb rewards torque — big twins and triples feel best.
US 550's famous cliff-edge stretch, two hours from our Grand Junction store and worth every minute. No guardrails, real exposure, and the most dramatic pavement in the state. Ride it on whatever you own; ride it focused.
The connector to Rangely and the Roan Plateau's gravel roads: quiet, twisty, and the classic ADV mixed-surface day when combined with county roads on top. Ténéré and friends, this one's yours.
The right bike is the one that fits the rides you'll actually do — and around here, that's a strong argument for almost everything on our floors. Tell us which of these roads you daydream about and we'll point at the right section of the showroom.

The Grand Valley rides nearly year-round — winter days over 45°F are common. The high routes (Grand Mesa, Million Dollar Highway) are prime from late May through October.
Yes — it's a paved National Park Service road open to street-legal vehicles, with an entrance fee. Watch for cyclists and keep speeds down; it's a cruise, not a race.
