Hi All,
We will be making our 4th three week long mc trip through NZ. Just so you know, you live in motorcycle heaven. This time we are picking up our 2008 1250 Bandit in Helensville then riding the East Cape. Then to Napier, on to Wellington, crossing to the South Island and then on to Cromwell. We are meeting up with a couple we met on two of our previous trips and then riding with them through the Catlins, visiting Stewart Island and perhaps taking in the first day of the Munro Challenge before heading back to Helensville.
We'd like to get off the beaten path and I have found the two routes below on BestBikingRoads.com. I'd like to use a combination of the two to get to Masterton from Napier and then on to Wellington.
Route 52 : Waipukurau - Masterton

Back Roads Pahiatua : Hawkes Bay

I have two questions:
1) Are these routes on all sealed roads?
2) In one area the routes diverge with one more westerly and one easterly toward the coast. Is the east or west route preferable?
If all goes well with our standby flights we should hit Auckland on January 29th.
Thanks so much in advance for your help,
Mark and Suzy
