Rhode Island Motorcycle Roads and Trips

Motorcycle roads in Rhode Island (RI) typically fall within two regions of scenery. The western two-thirds of the state is referred to as the New England Upland region and typified by rough and hilly forests and lakes. The eastern third of the state is called the Seaboard Lowland and is characterized by flatter lowlands, sandy beaches and salt marshes.
