BMW Motorrad has opened a new Rider Training centre in Exeter to bring the brand’s top-quality road skills training to motorcyclists.
The South West centre boasts its own training pad and even a private network of roads to enable riders to refine their skills away from traffic as part of their tuition.
The new Rider Training school joins already established BMW Rider Training sites in Royston, Stoke-on-Trent, Darlington, and Edinburgh, offering the same comprehensive selection of training for those who are learning to ride, through to the RoSPA Advanced Rider standard.
Chris Lake, owner of BMW Rider Training Exeter, said: “The addition of a BMW Rider Training centre in the South West will enable thousands of budding motorcyclists to experience some of the finest motorcycles and tuition that the country has to offer.
"More than 10,000 people have learned to ride and enhance their skills since the first BMW Rider Training centre opened in 2006, and we are delighted to be able to contribute to that growing number.”

The riding schools also train experienced riders with three levels of road skills courses refining and enhancing roadcraft and ultimately offering participants the chance to take their Advanced Rider Test with an independent RoSPA examiner.
As well as the new-rider DAS courses, and advanced skills tuition, each BMW Rider Training centre delivers BMW’s industry-leading ‘Rookie to Rider’ scheme. This BMW Motorrad-backed offer equips those new to motorcycling with a new BMW machine and a full-set of safety gear, alongside a seven-day Direct Access rider training course. For a £650 initial contribution and as little as £125 a month, new riders can access the expert tuition at any BMW Rider Training site, before riding away in BMW safety clothing on a brand-new BMW motorbike.
