BMW URGES POTENTIAL RIDERS TO TAKE THEIR BIKE TEST NOW
07 April 2007 - BMW Motorrad GB

New legislation for 2008 will make motorcycle test more difficult

With the motorcycling test requirement changing from October 2008, BMW Motorrad believes that the need for fledgling riders to take their test now is greater than ever before.

The new Driving Licence Directive, being introduced in 2008, will mean that the motorcycle test will include new manoeuvres. These will not only make the test more difficult, but will lead to motorcycle examinations only being carried out at a relatively small number of test centres. This is why BMW Motorrad is encouraging novice riders to take their test in 2007 at the manufacturer’s impressive Rider Training Centre in South Wales.

BMW Motorrad is the only motorcycle manufacturer in the UK to have its own on and off-road skills school. BMW Rider Training is based in the stunning Brecon Beacons, providing the perfect back drop to take your motorcycle test, with an abundance of quiet roads to practice on.

The BMW Rider Training team offers a variety of tuition to all levels of motorcyclist. Whether you are a complete novice, or have limited riding experience, you’ll be able to learn to become a safe and proficient rider before taking your bike test on a BMW motorcycle.

There are various lengths of Direct Access Course available, so participants get exactly the level of tuition they need. For those who have never ridden before, the extended 7-day Direct Access Course (DAS) starts with a day of Compulsory Basic Training (CBT), before moving on to five intensive riding training days, culminating with the full motorcycle test on day seven.
