Western Australia has good motorcycle roads beyond the obvious ones. Contour's Road Quality Score (RQS) measures every sealed road in Western Australia 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.

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.
