    Why use Rider Training?

Are you getting a good deal?Some riding schools may offer BHS Instruction at a cheaper rate but.....

ARE YOU REALLY GETTING A GOOD DEAL?

Do you really want to share the time you have paid for with up to 6 other students?   We don't believe in group therapy!

Two of the give way rules have changed
Updated: 25 March 2012

To make our roads safer, two of the give way rules are changing. These changes came into effect at 5am on Sunday 25 March 2012.  These changes will affect all drivers, riders, pedestrians and cyclists. Make sure you know the new rules. See more info HERE and check out www.giveway.co.nz


Learner Licence Speed Restriction Change
Learner motorcycle licence holders are now able to drive at similar speeds as vehicles traveling around them on open roads. This rule change came into force on the 1st October 2011.
Motorcycle Learner Licence riders can now ride up to 100kph instead of the old rule of maximum of 70kph. More info HERE



  Our latest demonstrator

Looking for a great Learner Bike? The Suzuki GZ250

Sick of paying too much for fuel to get to work?  Tired of paying for parking? Looking for a great commuter bike?

The GZ250 is a confidence-inspiring, comfortable and affordable first-bike for a Learner Rider or the commuting rider.  The GZ250 is the updated version of the classic GN250, running the same engine but in a cruiser orientated frame - which I find works very well.

We have one as a demo and encourage students to 'try before you buy' down at our training grounds.  This charming little bike won't disappoint!

Dawns BKing
Dawn's 2011 Suzuki B-King (1340cc)

We love the Suzuki B-King, so when this one came available we couldn't let up on the chance...

This is 1 of 2 in all NZ in the Blue/White Suzuki colour scheme. 

2010 models only came in this colour and was also the last year of manufacture...

We still have the other Grey one pictured below, which is Steve's Baby.

We can't do much about this disappointing summer weather but YOU can do something about paying for higher fuel costs! 

Get on a Motorbike!
