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 utilizes the MSF’s newest curriculum,
which 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. Participants will also have around
11 hours of motorcycle riding instruction on one of our
state-certified training ranges. Upon successful completion
of this course and skills test, students will receive a
completion card towards their Wisconsin Class M Motorcycle
License that will allow them to be exempt from the Wisconsin
Motorcycle-In-Traffic road test.
We will also continue offering our popular Ladies
Only courses in 2025.
Price: $310 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:
Sturdy over-the-ankle footwear with good grips on the soles
(heel not to exceed 1.5″, no Converse sneakers)
Durable long pants (without rips or exposed skin. No
leggings, jeggings, etc.)
Full-fingered gloves
Long-sleeved shirt or jacket
DOT-approved helmet and eye protection (3/4 or full
faced helmet is required)
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. We
understand that 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 be at least 15 1/2 years
old and have a parent’s or legal guardian’s signature
on our Waiver & Indemnification Form. You can either
take care of this in advance by having it signed by a parent
or legal guardian AND NOTARIZED at a
bank 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 Rider Coach at the
training range. These waivers are in addition to the Road America
Speed Waiver, or waivers signed at the gate to enter the
facility. Please ensure that you accompany your minor participant
to the training range and check-in with a Rider Coach.
Minors will NOT be allowed to participate without the
properly completed and signed waiver.
Motorcycles
Students will use one of the provided 2025 Yamaha motorcycles for
the duration of the class. Participants can choose from either
the Yamaha V Star
250, MT-03,
TW
200, or XT
250. Motorcycle selection is first come first serve.
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
