The MSF Basic RiderCourse is designed for beginning riders, ages 16 and up. The MSF has offered rider training for over fifty years, serving over 10 million motorcyclists nationwide. For the Basic RiderCourse, you’ll have about 5 hours of learning, often through an online eCourse, before you get on a bike. Then 10 hours of on-motorcycle training, spread over two days. You will learn about the different types of motorcycles, layout and operation of the basic controls, and how to become a safer, more responsible rider. Your MSF-certified RiderCoach will guide you through the basic skills of straight-line riding, stopping, shifting, and turning, gradually progressing to swerving and emergency braking.
