Novice Course
Motorcycle training for novice riders on their learners licence.Get Started from just $185
Designed for newly licenced riders.
This novice course (3 hours) is to help you raise your skills and knowledge from from Basic Handling Skills Test level, to a level you can ride on a road and is a great stepping stone towards our more advanced courses and your restricted licence.
The Basic Handling Test may allow you to get your learners licence, but the test does not require you to ride over 20kph, and you don't have to use any more than the first two gears. At that speed you have not even gone fast enough to know how a bike corners (counter steering), different ways of down shifting or the speed to ride on the road etc. The Basic Handling Skills Test does not give you the skills to ride on a road.
