The roads in Malaysia are generally in good condition, but beware; there are also parts where the asphalt is poor and there can be potholes in the road surface. This can be dangerous, so caution is advised. During the rainy season (September-December) the roads can be slippery. Traffic in Malaysia drives on the left side of the road.
You can rent a motorcycle in Malaysia, they are usually lighter models and often scooters. You can spend the night in hotels, B & Bs or campsites, which can easily be booked via the website in the review or via booking.com.
I rate this route with 4 **** stars because of the beautiful roads, the beautiful nature, unfortunately there are not many sights to visit or activities that you can undertake.

We leave at the Caltex gas station in Jerantut, you have the option of two routes. The route described follows the course of the Pahang River on the 264 to Kuala Lipis. The other options follow the 64 and the 8 to Kuala Lipis. Both routes are wonderful to drive with beautiful winding roads. The 2nd option is a bit longer.
The first short stop is in Felda Chegar (WP7) where we stop along the way to have a drink and stretch our legs.
We continue to the next stop Sungai Yu Recreation Center (WP11). Pay attention here because the routes of TomTom and Here are not the same here due to the new highway that has been built here. The stop Sungai Yu Recreation Center is a Recreation place by the river, where you can rest, picnic and cool off in the river.
Lunch is scheduled in Kampung Gua Layang at Restaurant Kedai Makan Ifamily (WP16). After lunch we drive to Gua Musang, you can stop briefly to take a picture of the Gua Musang Welcome Center sign (WP17).
After about 15 kilometers we arrive at Hentian Rehat Dan Rawat in Gua Musang (WP19), here we stop briefly to refuel and for a snack and drink. It's also a nice place to take some photos. We are now about halfway through the ride and the second half has no more scheduled stops.
The second part of the ride we drive through a beautiful green hilly area. The road is excellent and wide. Enjoy the beautiful nature and stop where it is safe to enjoy the beautiful view.
The end of day 2 is in Machang where we spend the night in one of the Homestays Al-Husna or Arzuqna.

Kelantan
About this region
Kelantan (Malay pronunciation: [kəˈlantan]; Jawi: کلنتن; Kelantan Malay: Kelaté) is a state in Malaysia. The capital is Kota Bharu and royal seat is Kubang Kerian. The honorific name of the state is Darul Naim (Jawi: دار النعيم, "The Blissful Abode").
Kelantan is located in the north-eastern corner of the peninsula. Kelantan, which is said to translate as the "Land of Lightning" (see alternate theories below), is an agrarian state with green paddy fields, rustic fishing villages and casuarina-lined beaches. Kelantan is home to some of the most ancient archaeological discoveries in Malaysia, including several prehistoric aboriginal settlements.
Due to Kelantan's relative isolation and largely rural lifestyle, Kelantanese culture differs somewhat from Malay culture in the rest of the peninsula; this is reflected in the cuisine, arts and the unique Kelantanese Malay language, which is unintelligible even for some speakers of standard Malay.
Kelantan is positioned in the north-east of the Malay Peninsula. It is bordered by Narathiwat Province of Thailand to the north, Terengganu to the south-east, Perak to the west and Pahang to the south. To the north-east of Kelantan is the South China Sea.
