Learn to ride a motorcycle through Road America’s Basic
Rider Course (BRC). This Road America motorcycle class was
designed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) for beginning
riders. Learn how to ride a motorcycle safely in a closed-course
environment.
Road America is happy to announce that in conjunction with the
Motorcycle Safety Foundation and Wisconsin Motorcycle Safety
Program, Road America has transitioned to MSF’s newest
curriculum. This revised BRC eliminates the classroom
portion and moves that material into the online e-course.
This allows you to take the online course around your busy
schedule, starting and stopping as needed until completion. You
will also have around 11 hours of motorcycle riding instruction
on one of our state-certified training ranges. Upon
successful completion, students receive a completion card that
allows them to be exempt from the Motorcycle-In-Traffic road
test.
We will also continue offering our popular Ladies
Only courses in 2024.
Price: $295 Includes e-course, training, and
skills test. Specific start and end times are noted in
course descriptions by date
Proper safety gear for practical riding is required and
includes:
Over-the-ankle footwear with good grips on the soles
(heel not to exceed 1.5″)
Long pants (without rips or exposed skin)
Full-fingered gloves
Long-sleeved shirt or jacket
DOT-approved helmet and eye protection (full-face helmet
is recommended)
Please bring safety gear to all class sessions, including the
classroom. Helmets are available for rent with an additional fee
and advanced notice. Classes run rain or shine; bring rain gear
in the event inclement weather should occur.
Each motorcycle class is limited to no more than 12 students.
Participants must be at least 15.5 years of age. No motorcycle
learner permit is required. DMV Information for Basic Rider Course Students
The Road America Motorcycle School is designed specifically to
maximize the fun and minimize the risk of motorcycling. With a
pass rate of over 96%, our success rate
is encouraging. However, on occasion, any participant
may have an “off day.” With that in mind, we have created the
Customer Satisfaction Promise. In the event a participant fails
any one of our MSF-designated courses, they will be allowed to
return to retake the full class at a later date for a minimal
rescheduling fee of $100.
Minors
Minors participating in the course MUST have a parent’s or legal
guardian’s signature on our Waiver & Indemnification
Form. You can take care of this in advance by having it
signed by the parent or legal guardian AND
NOTARIZED before the class, or a parent or legal
guardian MUST be present at the beginning of the first day of
class to sign the waiver in the presence of a Road America staff
member. No minors will be allowed to participate without
the properly completed and signed waiver.
Personal information may be
shared by Yamaha on an international basis with its parent
entity, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and such information may
further enhance the Yamaha customer experience and offer
additional productions and/or services that may be of interest to
you.
