Motorcycle Riding Courses for Experienced Riders

Pacific Motorcycle Training

We offer three different options for riders who want to become better and safer on the road.

For New Riders

Learn the basics of riding safely in a controlled environment and receive the certificate that may waive the DMV riding skill test. Our friendly basic riding course was designed for people with zero experience on a motorcycle. We provide motorcycles and helmets for you to learn with.

For Experienced Riders

Become a better—and safer—rider using your own motorcycle with our Intermediate Riding Clinic. Or take your cornering and crash-avoidance skills to the highest level with our Advanced Riding Clinics, taught only by the best certified instructors in the Bay Area!

"Wyatt, Q, and Dylan were firm and supportive trainers that for me was the right balance of leadership. The training was a blast with a fun group of beginner riders. The bikes were in top notch shape."

"Excellent motorcycle training course! The instructors explained everything clearly, from basic riding skills to important safety rules. They were patient, detailed, and made learning easy and comfortable for beginners. I learned a lot and feel much more confident riding now. Highly recommended."

"I had an excellent experience during the CMSP basic course with Pacific Motorcycle Training in the Monterey/Salinas area. I have been a passenger on a motorcycle before, but had never rode one by myself. The instructors for our course, Dillon and Chris, were enthusiastic, cared for our safety, and made everyone feel welcome regardless of experience level. They made me even more excited to begin my journey as a motorcycle rider."

"Just completed the intermediate course. Long day. Hot range. Loved every minute of it. They’re not kidding about improving your skills in one day."

"The course was great, even those with no riding before the class left very confident. Seth was a great instructor, and the range was nice. E learning was a snooze fest but that's to be expected. The bikes are also hit and miss, but they work! Would highly recommend for any new riders"

"Great beginner course. Straight to the bikes and no classroom instruction which i like the best. Hands on is the only way to go. Both instructors did an excellent job building confidence for all students. After some basic riding experience, will return to take the next level course!"
