Russian Tatyana Ozolina had more than eight million followers across her social media outlets.
Reports said she died when she “lost control” of her red BMW S1000RR 2015 collided with a truck near Milas, halfway between provincial capital of Mugla and popular resort of Bodrum.
A Turkish biker accompanying her, Onur Obut, survived but suffered serious injuries and is in hospital.
A third biker was uninjured.
Known as MotoTanya, she died at the scene of the crash before paramedics arrived.
Believed to be 38, Ozolina had been dubbed Russia’s “most beautiful biker” and had a vast following.
But she was recently refused entry into the European Union at the Greek border for a summer tour amid curbs on Russians over Vladimir Putin’s war against Ukraine.
She posted: “I was upset that I didn't get to ride in Europe, but not too much, because I knew that this could happen.
“So I go on, to conquer the beautiful, warm and hospitable Turkey.”
In a tribute, Andrei Ivanov, head of the MotoMoscow Association, said: “MotoTanya is not with us anymore…she had a bright and beautiful life.…
“Millions of people followed her.
“Perhaps there is not a single motorcyclist in the country who was indifferent to Tatyana.
