Tasmania has good motorcycle roads beyond the obvious ones. Contour's Road Quality Score (RQS) measures every sealed road in Tasmania across 40+ signals at 500m resolution - curviness, surface condition, elevation change, traffic density, speed limit profile, and road class - so the roads that score highest are actually the best to ride, not just the twistiest.

Year-round for sealed roads. Snow possible on inland and highland roads June to August - check road conditions before heading into the central highlands or Cradle Mountain area. Summer (December to February) brings the most visitors; spring and autumn offer lighter traffic.
The motorcycle profile applies higher weights to curviness and surface quality within the Road Quality Score (RQS). A road that scores 9.0 for motorcycles has excellent curviness, a smooth sealed surface, low truck traffic, and consistent lane width. Surface quality carries extra weight because tyre contact patch matters more at lean angle. The score runs 0 to 10 and is calculated at 500m resolution across every named road in the state.
