Arrange an individual seat test at the driving school to find your suitable training motorbike.

For your safety and fun in training, you will ride on current models. Professional maintenance of our vehicles is a matter of course.

Under locations you will find the following training vehicles, which are offered at the respective driving school.

  • BMW F 800 GS ABS
