Powerful and responsive Yamaha YZF-R6 motorcycles are provided for every student (other models available). We get out of the classroom quickly, but students continually hear the reasons that good riders win championships, why we crash, and the type and timing of control inputs. The majority of time is spent on track. The track changes daily to prove that it isn’t track memorization that makes you quick but correct techniques. These techniques are learned while following expert-level instructors, in open lapping or in perfecting skills with drills. There's no timed curriculum because the only goal is to make you a better rider!
Three-day schools launch with the same verve but the extra day allows the instructors to “pick on you even more,” they say with a laugh. This is a sport that hurts when you fail, so our instructors take every minute of all three days to improve your riding. The extra day allows us to add a suspension seminar and hands-on suspension-adjustment session, additional lapping sessions and a few drills that we just can’t get to in the two-day school.
There are a lot of women who ride motorcycles and would benefit from the Yamaha Champions Riding School. We average about one or two women riders per class, but we know there are more women who would like to participate. We’ve decided to hold a women’s-only school just for them – for the second year in a row.
