Ridden No 7 the A2 coastal road in Antrim but that wouldnt be anywhere near a top 10 for me...far too bumpy and nadgery for a modern sportsbike.....

Stelvio is good for photo`s, that`s about it. Too narrow, too twisty.

N58 - Grenoble to Cannes.....awesome

The 20 yard section of Chequer Street just outside Loreto Catholic School for Wayward Nymphos always does it for me.

Cat and Fiddle? It's nowhere near the best biking road in the UK, never mind Europe

Some of my favourites in no particular order:

A686 Penrith to Hexham via Hartside (plus loads of others in the North Pennines)

Grossglockner Hochalpstrasse, Austria

N260 in the Spanish Pyrenees

A87 Invergarry to Uig (plus loads of others in Scotland)

28 from Davos to Santa Maria (Fluella and Ofen Passes) in Switzerland. The Umbrail & Stelvio are nearby, but these are crap to ride (spectacular views though)

Loads in Yorkshire, but I'm keeping these to myself

A591 Penrith to Ambleside quickly followed by

the Wrynose and Hardknott passes.

As for some of the above statements....nowhere does it mention

these selections as being for 'sportsbikes' I read them as being 'biking'

roads.

Keep sports bikes on tracks and motorways thats where most of you seem to

ride anyhow.....

I agree with the Furka Pass  I really enjoyed that one..  Another is the road from Bruno, CZ to Trencin SK. There is a lovely bit towards Slovakia that twists through the forest. fast and fun. I've done it a few times now. The motorways in CZ are good too.

I live 10 miles from it and it's a favourite over here. OK, if you want to go for a qualifier on it you could be in trouble, but for the scenery, and the way it flows, it's hard to beat.

Of course the plod know it too, so getting stopped is part of the experience.
