Tho not third world, New Zealand is a wonderful country to travel in!
Wide range of climate, varying topography, great coasts, and best of all very friendly hospitable people. Some world class driving roads too! And not too crowded.

You do have to be carefull tho, you might end up wanting to move there.

Cliff, there are some exceptional hunting and fishing opportunities there too.
Put it on your list. It takes at least a few weeks to scratch the surface.

One concern I would have with motorcycle cruising there is driving on the left side of the road. Not difficult in a car when your position in the car reminds you of where you should be, the bike won't give you this reminder.
