Honda Rider Education Center

Fantastic experience: I completed the Basic Rider Course and had the absolute pleasure of being taught and coached by Joy and Carl... What an amazing experience!! The facility and bikes are incredible and well maintained. Everyone was so friendly and helpful. They really want you to succeed here and that is shown through their coaches. I will be coming back for further courses I'm sure! 100% recommend this training facility site.

Fantastic experience: I recommend the introduction to motorcycle course for anyone just wanting to experience sitting in a bike and abit of movement and handling Joy and Jerome were fantastic instructors and made a complete novice feel ready to put feet up and go

All staff were courteous and friendly, and the coaches Jeff and Karl were exceptionally attentive, knowledgeable, and brought lots of positive energy to the course. They also kept the course very engaging and fun with their strong sense of humour. Highly recommend the Basic Rider Course at this facility.

Fantastic experience: Really informative class!!

Fantastic experience: The instructor was awesome! Great learning and driving experience for ROV's!

Fantastic experience: great people!

Fantastic experience: This was a great and fun class! The instructors were awesome and very encouraging. Even the off road instructor would pop his head in during our break and give us words of encouragement. Everyone was extremely nice, upbeat, and had great personalities. The course was very easy to understand and verbal and demonstrated directions were given before every task. The bikes/equipment were great. Low mileage great condition. A few dents and dings on some as expected from drops. The class room activities were fun as well. Written test was pretty much basic rider common sense. With a few knowledge questions sprinkled in that you learned during the class. Took me like 8 mins to complete with a 100 percent. Overall a great training facility that I would recommend to all! Beginners and experts.

Negative experience: If you do not learn certain riding skills within a day and a half you will be "discouraged from riding a bike" ever again. Stupidest thing I have ever heard.

Fantastic experience: I took the basic rider course here and had a nice experience. The instructors are friendly, veteran riders and are also great teachers in providing saftey tips. Tom and his partner patiently made the whole class complete the course safely. Overview of basic rider course(weekend) Day 1: theory couple of hours and a few practical exercises Day 2: remaining exercises and the final practical and written assessment of what you've learned in the course. Since the pandemic hit you gotta bring your own helmet and saftey gear for the course. The facility is equipped with 3 classrooms for the courses. Has couple of vending machines in the break room and clean restrooms. I would recommend to take courses here.

Fantastic experience: I had a perfect experience on the Basic Riding course with Bart and Lois. They are great instructors and made everything very clear. The whole experience was very nice. Communication was great before the class and during the class. None of my time was wasted (I was really afraid of that). If you are interested in riding - take this class. You're gonna have a blast!

Fantastic experience: These people are really cool! They are knowledgeable and make learning how to ride fun! It's a two day beginner course as opposed to the three day course offered by other places. I had never ridden before and feel 100% confident going out on my own. Highly recommended!

Positive experience: Current road construction made finding the campus a challenge.

Fantastic experience: I went here to take the dirt bike school course. The facility is very nice and equipment is well maintained. The instructor was very knowledgeable in the subject matter and friendly. I'll go back for the trail riding class after if had time to practice the skills I learned.

Fantastic experience: The MSF Basic Riders Course taught here was amazing. As someone who had never rode any kind of motorized bike, I found it extremely easy to learn. Don and Jeff, my instructors, were both fantastic coaches and explained everything thoroughly. I would come back in a heart beat or suggest to any of my friend and family to learn here.

Fantastic experience: I had a great experience! My coaches Carl and kelly were wonderful, knowledgeable, encouraging and supportive. Thank you Honda for such a great experience!

Fantastic experience: Top motorcycle training in Atlanta area

Fantastic experience: Great place for motorcycle training. I'm here to hopefully get certified to present a new course the Motorcycle Safety Foundation will be rolling out soon.

Fantastic experience: The instructors are really great it's a really nice course to learn how to ride. You're better off going in there with little to no experience. But it's a really awesome experience and they teach you some techniques you can't learn on your own. Highly recommend this place to anyone that's wanting to learn how to ride a bike or improve their skills.

Fantastic experience: The coaches was Very informative, help me with some key tips and understanding of being a safe and knowledgeable rider. I do recommend this class to 1st time rider and anyone who hadn't rode a motorcycle in many years like me,and wanted to get their license and sharpening their skills for anyone who are and interested in being a better rider you can't go wrong.

Fantastic experience: Had a great learning experience!! I am so glad I took the basic rider course! Carl and Bill are very professional and helpful. I would highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: Sooo much fun, Jeff is an amazing teaching. The other group has Tommy, I heard he was great as well.

Fantastic experience: 专业，系统的学习开摩托车技能。

Fantastic experience: Very nice facility.

Fantastic experience: Great teacher and my kids had a great time learning the basics! Definitely going back again for the trail ride course!

Fantastic experience: Best place I ever been in. Thank you coaches for making me learn how to ride. I'll be back for the advanced one day.

Fantastic experience: Big fan of the basic course. I hope to return for more!

Negative experience: My class was scheduled for May 8 & 9 at 6:45 AM. Due to personal issues - I was late to this class. *Granted the emails did say not to be late* Paid $235 for this and now I have to pay another $235 of my hard-earned dollars to take this again. One of the course coordinators: Austin is so unforgiving and unyielding... There’s so many MSF courses out there guys - don’t go to this one please (:

Fantastic experience: Great facility with a very helpful staff. I took the Basic Rider course with Joy and Billy as the instructors and cannot say enough good things about my experience. Facilities, bikes, staff, instructors were all first class and I will definitely be back to take some of the advanced courses. Flawless experience!

Fantastic experience: Great facilities and profesional instructors it worth every penny , will highly recommend I’m planning to have both of my sons attend this class. I’m planning my self to take part #2 motorcycle class soon . Thank you very much MSF Eli Collazo.jr

Fantastic experience: I had about 8 years of experience with riding motorcycles but I learned a lot of good stuff here. The course is more hands on and you get to practice with the bikes they provide with a lot of challenges. I learned how to control my bike presicely. Instructors where very patient and also knowledgeable. I recommend this place to anyone trying to get their license or refresh their riding skills.

Fantastic experience: The instructors did a phenomenal job instructing our class. I loved learning as a new and nervous beginner. Highly recommend and will return to attend advanced courses.

Fantastic experience: Awesome instructors, great facilities. The bikes used for training were basically new.

Fantastic experience: Really great place to learn how to ride a motorcycle.

Fantastic experience: What an awesome experience! Great facility and really experienced instructors! I took the basic rider course to learn how to ride a motorcycle, get a license waiver and decide if this is for me. This course was perfect for that. Plus they offer many other courses. Advanced courses, dirt bike courses, and more. Now, for those of you thinking about doing this... do it. If you were thinking about riding a motorcycle and someone told you that you don’t need a class, they’re wrong. Take the class. There’s a lot of eye-opening material in the class that just teaching yourself, or just messing around won’t provide. Now be prepared to take it seriously. they move a bit quickly and you are expected to keep up and learn the material and get some proficiency in the skills. They are friendly, and they encourage questions, but they have a schedule to keep and 11 other students besides you. So you need to dedicate your mind to the class for the 2 days that it takes. I went through alone and I loved it, made some new friends. but I recommend doing it with a friend too, if you want to. Either way. The place is easy to find, google maps may give you a slightly wrong path to get there, though. So be early, rested, and ready. You will love it. [edit 2/5/18]~ less than a month after graduating here, I purchased a my first motorcycle from the nearby mountain Motorsports, a 2015 Yamaha R3. I’m riding 2-3 days a week with much greater confidence thanks to the trainers here at the Honda rider education center.

Fantastic experience: Excellent course the instructors were superb. Great for our children and our adult class was very informative.

Fantastic experience: My 11 year old who had never even sat on a bike attended the dirt bike beginners one day course in October. Coach Keith was great working with the kids. Within an hour Donovan was up going. We then attended the two day course in December with Coach April and Coach Geof. Awesome the amount of personal skill and knowledge they brought to the kids. We will be back in 2018 for another trail course. Much thanks to you all for the confidence you gave to my son. Barry Stroup

Fantastic experience: This was amazing fun!!! This is something me and my fiance have been wanting to do for a while now and we don't regret it one bit. Learned so much and our instructors Karl and bill were amazing teachers. They made the class fun and stress free. If you messed up on anything they made you feel like you had the ability to go back and do it right the next time. Go in with a open mind and positive attitude and your golden.

Fantastic experience: Hands down...the BEST training for dirtbike riding in the southeast.

Fantastic experience: Me and my wife took the MSF basic rider course this weekend. We both had some dirt bike experience but it had been many years since either of of us had been on a motorcycle. We learned so much in a short period of time. Most of the people in the class had very little experience on motorcycles with many not even sitting on one before the class. The rider coaches Peter and Carl worked hard and spent time coaching everyone as individuals and made the class challenging and fun. I can’t say enough good things about the instructors and facilities.

Fantastic experience: Great place to learn from Experienced riders, Instructors were using there own knowledge and personal experience to convey safety first. They paired us with the type of bike you want to ride so you can gain experience on that platform.

Fantastic experience: Awesome time for a first timer

Fantastic experience: Great Place!

Fantastic experience: Amazing trainers, will recommend this class to all who know and don't know how to ride!

Fantastic experience: Perfect place to learn to ride a motorcycle the correct and safe way! Coaches are excellent!

Positive experience: Was there in the mid of Nov 2015. 2 full days of the course. Nice teachers (Peter and John) which briefly described main technics before send class to the range. Good thing is that there're a lot of practice which give you ability to know how to ride. As didn't have such experience in the past it was really helpful for me. Bad thing that there're not so many of practice advances for safety riding as they can give having such a big experience in this. Anyway, having this this basic riding course you will know how to ride and what to do with the bike, but be sure you practice a lot after that when deciding to go to the streets on your bike.

Negative experience: I didn't enjoy the basic rider course as much as I thought I would for a few reasons. The instructors were ok not as friendly, approachable or as supportive as I would have liked. They were fine, they did the bare minimum nothing more nothing less. Joy and Terry is who I worked with. The style of teaching was not my favorite; however it may work well for others. They have you read paragraphs from the book and then summarize what you read out loud in class. This is a good technique for retention but it can't be the only and exclusive way to teach. You have to use a few different techniques so that all learning styles and personalities benefit. Out in the range was fun and I did love how they started off slow. Making sure every one mounted and dismounted the bike, turned it on a few times etc... It helps build muscle memory so that was great; however, once we got through the first part, I felt there was a disconnect with how to use the clutch and throttle smoothly. They never went over some of the details that a beginner wouldn't know. I feel they dropped the ball there. A good number of students in the basic class had riding experience and I did not so I think they just assumed all students would figure it out the clutch and throttle thing on their own or that you need to accelerate in order for the bike to ground itself. Which I did not! It took much longer than it needed to which was frustrating. When I asked, I didn't feel as if they wanted to break it down. At that point, I felt the instructors were not that approachable. It was extremely hot outside so if you guys do this, be prepared wear the right clothing! I was exhausted, sore and was very uncomfortable due to the clothing I wore. I think they should add a note on their website about weather and about what they recommend you should wear so that you are as comfortable as you can out there. Weather of course was not their fault! :) I think that if the instructors are a little more sensitive to pure beginners and their teaching style is a little more varied, it will be a great course. I am a positive person so I made this as much fun as I could and I never gave up! When you get out there, don't apologize for your level of skill! You are smart so you will pick everything up. You just have to be patient and safe!

Fantastic experience: If you want to ride a motorcycle this is your first stop. Great training and instructors.
