Never ridden before? Don’t sweat it. The Harley-Davidson® Riding Academy New Rider Course is designed to get you comfortable on a bike and give you the skills you need to ride with confidence, and in many states provides a completion that may excuse you from taking the road test portion of your DMV’s motorcycle operators exam.
Now’s the perfect time to get ready for Riding Academy. Get ready for the classroom and range experiences.
Get comfortable on a motorcycle before you even walk into your first class. Make the most of your class by getting in the saddle at your local Harley-Davidson® dealership and trying a Jumpstart™ demo. Getting knowledgeable before your class begins will get you on a bike and feeling comfortable faster.
You’ll mount the motorcycle, set your boots on the foot pegs and fire up the engine under the watchful eye of our trained personnel. And then, sitting comfortably on the motorcycle, you’ll give the throttle a twist and continue to shift through the gears – all while safely and securely attached to the Jumpstart™ platform.
Meet riders like you, explore new roads, share tips, and get inspired! This groups is exclusive to Riding Academy Graduates only. We’re looking forward to you joining us once you’ve completed the course!
