Experience Honda on two-wheel in 2012
Honda offers some of the finest experiences on two-wheels, catering for riders of all levels. With the Ron Haslam School and Mick Extance Off-Road Experience, whose experience dates are now set for the year ahead, there is no better place to test yourself on two-wheels and improve your riding.
On track, the Honda Ron Haslam School offers a range of one day courses to suit all abilities, from basic motorcycle skills training for children as young as twelve on the Honda CBR125R and CBR250R machines. The ‘Premier’ course provides an introduction to performance bikes on the acclaimed CBR600RR, with the ‘Elite’ day offering even further advanced guidance on the legendary CBR1000RR Fireblade. All levels of courses provide expert and personalised tuition and are designed to improve overall riding or racing skills and bike control, whilst being tailored to the specific needs and abilities of each rider. There are twenty dates available during 2012 between April and October, to visit the school’s Silverstone base. A full motorcycle licence is not required and there are programmes to suit all needs.
The Mick Extance Off-Road Experience offers the taste of a full range of dirt riding disciplines, including Enduro, Motocross and Trials. Whether you’re a seasoned off-roader or complete novice, there are a range of great days available throughout the year. Once again, a full licence is not a pre-requisite, only a desire for a challenge and to have some great fun. Tailor-made packages can also be created for individuals or groups.
The Mick Extance Off-Road Enduro experience is based at a stunning location in North Wales, in the heart of 15,000 acres of Forestry Commission land. Surrounded by some of the most beautiful scenery in the UK, there is no better place to embark on an off-road adventure on Honda’s world-beating CRF machinery.
Motocross training takes place at Britain's biggest and most famous race circuit, Silverstone. Although historically known for road-racing, the Silverstone facility also offers an excellent motocross track and training terrain, suitable for all levels. Again the CRF is the bike of choice with the 150R, 250R and 450R all available depending on your requirements.
Finally, the Trials experience is perfect for riders who either have never ridden a bike before, or for those who would like to develop their trials skills. Set in the heart of the Peak District, it’s a great introduction to two-wheels, as the excellent Montesa Honda 4-stroke trials machines used are lighter and lower to the ground than any other type of bike.
