World Class VIP Dual Sport, Adventure Bike and Dirt Bike Tours
For the past seven years, former Dirt Rider magazine editors Ken Faught and Mark Kariya have been working on a radical idea. Three years ago, they finally put the idea into motion and teamed up with some of America's best off-road riders to create what are unquestionably the most-exclusive rides in the most-scenic locations in the country, and they are all guided motorcycle tours. The idea was a winner and the result is the world’s best VIP dual-sport, adventure bike, dirt bike, enduro and off-road tours and events.
In addition to Ken Faught and Mark Kariya the co-founders of Speed & Sport Adventures dirt bike tours are an amazing group of talented professional riders. Legendary names like Destry Abbott, Grant Langston, Cody Webb, Andrew Short, Ryan Sipes, Scott Bright, Kevin Hines, Paul Krause and Matt Buyten! They have all been around the off-road industry for a long time and each is well respected in their own right for their individual accomplishments. Collectively, they have ridden and won dozens of events and championships from an overall win in the International Six Days Enduro (ISDE) to AMA Hare & Hound Championships and National Enduro Series titles. Not to mention several AMA National Motocross and Supercross Championships and an FIM World Motocross Championship! Others have competed in the Dakar Rally, raced the Grand National Cross-Country Series, the Baja 500 and the iconic Baja 1000. The list continues with the longest point-to-point race in the USA from Vegas-to-Reno, three motorcycle land-speed records on the Bonneville Salt Flats, a slew of X-Games medals and much more. You won't find a motorcycle tour of any kind anywhere in the world packed with this much riding and industry experience.
The flagship event of Speed and Sport Adventures is a 4-Night/5-day event in Park City, UT but the talented crew also hosts other event throughout the year with two-day events, point-to-point adventure rides, training sessions, boot camps, and much more.
The all-new Bucketlist ride is the highlight of 2023 and took place in the beautiful Park City region in Utah in the first week of September. One of the very best rides in the country Park City 2023 was an immersive experience that overwhelms the senses, tantalize the imagination and provide guests with a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
This is a high-end adventure covering more than 250 miles of riding and is designed for real off-road riding enthusiasts. The trails are mostly solid B level single track in some of the most beautiful and picturesque settings you will ever encounter so come prepared for some serious fun riding great trails all day before relaxing in comfort and engaging in world-class bench racing at night. Speaking of comfort, the entire ride is based out of an amazing 27,000 SF 4 story private estate situated on 10 acres. The home itself is a massive ‘log cabin’ with an indoor pool, a hot tub, a fully equipped gourmet kitchen, a game room, an astonishing 16 bathrooms and room to sleep up to 60 people!
This is the number one off-road motorcycle tour in the United States and one of the top 10 dirt-bike tours in the world for good reason, because it always strives to deliver over and above guest expectations. To that end award-winning photographers Mark Kariya and Ken Faught—names you've seen in magazines like Dirt Rider, Dirt Bike, Cycle News and Racer X for over 25 years shot professional photos of each rider on the 2023 Park City Bucketlist Ride to commemorate the occasion.
