The Road America Motorcycle School is one of the premier training
programs for novice, returning and advanced riders in the
Midwest. Participants can learn how to ride a motorcycle by
choosing from eight different levels of motorcycle training. All
motorcycle training courses take place at Road
America’s expansive 640-acre venue, which includes five
controlled off-street training ranges. Motorcycle and scooter
classes, including ladies only options, are available from
April through November in a variety of daytime, weekend, and
weeknight formats. All courses are designed to maximize the ease
of adaptive learning and minimize the risk of riding a motorcycle
or scooter. Our staff of highly trained and award-winning
instructors comes from diverse backgrounds which
include education, law enforcement, and racing disciplines.
They have years of riding knowledge and skills to help you learn
how to ride a motorcycle or scooter.
For new riders interested in becoming licensed to operate a
motorcycle, we have the Basic Rider
Course (BRC) which requires approximately 19 total hours of
commitment. The course criteria includes a three-hour online
e-Course, six hours of classroom instruction, and ten hours
of on-range riding lessons. The second option available for new
riders seeking a class M endorsement is the Scooter Basic Rider Course (SBRC). The
Road America Scooter learn to ride class includes 19 hours
of instruction, broken down into six hours of classroom
instruction, ten hours of on-range riding lessons, and
a 3 hour online e-Course. Tuition for both courses includes
the use of a current model year Yamaha motorcycle or scooter.
For returning motorcycle riders we recommend other great courses
like the Street Skills Course
1 (SSC1) or the Street
Skills Course 2 (SSC2) which both are designed to simulate
real-life riding conditions. Another great option is the Road
America Dirt Bike Course!
