BMW Motorcycle Rider Training
Calling all riders. If you thrive on two wheels, with the wind in your face, then the BMW Performance Center Motorcycle Rider Training is Heaven on Earth. Classes for both on-road and off-road enthusiasts focus on safe driving skills and performance, resulting in minimal time in the classroom and maximum time on the course. All participants must hold a valid motorcycle license.
BMW Rider Training (Off Road)
Using the same basic curriculum developed at the legendary BMW Off-Road training facility in Hechlingen, Germany, the Off-Road class at the BMW Performance Center is designed to maximize every rider's ability on dirt, gravel or other non-paved surfaces. Riding exercises include:

Each day consists of approximately six hours of riding time and two hours of classroom instruction, where body position and bike set-up are covered.
Riding includes drills on-site at the BMW Performance Center On-Road course, which is specifically designed for motorcycles and whose surface is asphalt. Also, a short, unpaved drill will also be part of this class to familiarize riders with non-paved surfaces. This is designed to help riders overcome any fear or uncertainty they may have when transitioning from paved to unpaved surfaces, a common occurrence on a touring or sport touring ride in the U.S. The course is an actual track, not a parking lot, so you will be training at 'real world' speeds. Riding exercises include:
These classes are about control and finesse, both of which will help you go faster, of course, but at the BMW Performance Center the focus is on learning proper technique rather than just wicking up the throttle.
