Learn to ride with the best trainers around
The New Rider Course provides you with 25 hours of expert guidance from Motorcycle Safety Foundation® (MSF) and H-D® Certified Instructors.
In the classroom, you’ll get to know the motorcycle you’ll be riding and learn the basics of rider safety skills.
On the practice range, you’ll learn braking and turning, along with maneuvers like controlling skids and surmounting obstacles.
When you finish the course, you’ll get an MSF Basic RiderCourseSM Completion Card. Depending on your individual state this card may exempt you from having to take the riding portion of your motorcycle license test. This card may qualify you for a discount on motorcycle insurance.
