I’m going to tour France Germany Italy etc on my motorcycle and need google maps for my iPhone mount. Will I be okay with my SMARTY SIM?

You should be able to download the maps for the countries in question and be able to navigate offline with these maps preloaded.

Abroad it woks perfect bud remember Euro roaming up to 12 gb
You could also consider downloading the maps locally onto your phone so you can use Google maps and navigation in offline mode. This means will just use your phone's GPS and not your data allowance whilst using maps
Looking at the Smarty Price Guide:
Travelling in the EU
Data comes out of your monthly allowance or data add-ons (Up to 12GB of fair use in the EU). Calls and texts are unlimited for calls to the UK or within the EU (excluding Data Only plans)
I'm not sure how data hungry Google Maps is, but you may need to consider the 12Gb limit if you are also using other data.
Hope this helps.
