Munich. Focusing on both the beginner and the old hand returning to the world
of motorcycling, and giving equal attention to the experienced rider, BMW
Motorrad Rider Training offers a whole range of attractive new options entering
the 2006 season - including courses on the race track, enduro training
exclusively for women, and special training on the new BMW HP2. So whether you
wish to perfect your nimble and dynamic handling of a motorcycle in even the
fastest bends or seek to master the steepest offroad challenge, the wide range
of training options tailored to the individual skills and interests of each and
every rider offers the best for every taste and preference.
Experienced instructors fully dedicated to motorcycling themselves show you
what it means to gain perfect command of your machine in the interest of even
safer and more superior riding pleasure on two wheels. Courses are offered in
small groups at the BMW Driving Center in Munich, on selected race tracks, and
on demanding offroad terrain. And participants are naturally also able to use
their own machine, with the fee charged being reduced accordingly.
Compact Training: Starting out the Safe Way.
Compact Training enables above all the young rider to prepare for everyday
traffic, conducting brake exercises, manoeuvres to avoid obstacles on the road,
and taking the right line in approaching a bend in order to optimise his riding
skills.
Lasting half a day, Compact Training is offered at a fee starting at Euro 95.-
with the rider on his own machine and up to Euro 125.- with a motorcycle
provided by BMW Motorrad. Young riders in the 18 - 25 age group pay between
Euro 50.- when entering on their own motorcycle and Euro 80.- on a machine from
BMW Motorrad.
Advanced Training: Setting out for Dynamic Performance.
The focus in Advanced Training is likewise on the ability to safely master all
kinds of everyday traffic situations. Completing slalom exercises and
practising various techniques in bends, the participant learns to handle his
motorcycle in superior style.
The fee for one-day Advanced Training is Euro 180.- on your own motorcycle and
Euro 220.- with a machine provided by BMW Motorrad.
Circuit Training: Focusing on the Ideal Line.
Finding the ideal line on Hockenheimring in Germany, at Salzburgring in
Austria, or on the Nordschleife of Nürburgring - BMW Motorrad Circuit Training
offers you the right opportunity for such a wonderful experience. In the
process the focus is primarily not on speed, but rather on safe riding,
following the ideal line. Depending on the track and course offered, prices
range from Euro 380.- to 995.- per person.
Enduro Training: Fully Prepared for Every Challenge.
BMW Enduro Training is intende for both the beginner and the experienced rider.
Depending on their personal interests and individual skills, participants are
able to enhance their riding abilities in mud and on gravel, as well as on the
most demanding mountain routes, in courses lasting between one and five days.
In 2006 BMW for the first time offers training sessions exclusively for female
riders , featuring the same training contents and the same level of difficulty
as in the one-day basic course.
Whether it is Enduro Park Hechlingen in the south of Germany, Gross Dölln near
Berlin, or Aras Rural in Spain - the enthusiast seeking a genuine challenge
will find exactly the right answer in BMW Motorrad Rider Training.
The prices for Enduro Training range from Euro 180.- on the participant's own
machine all the way to Euro 1,290.- on a motorcycle provided by BMW Motorrad
(F 650 GS, F650 GS Dakar, R1200 GS).
BMW HP2: Power Training at Its Best.
Special training sessions allow the participant to enjoy the particular
potential of the new BMW HP2. These training courses are offered at no less
than four locations - at the Hechlingen Enduro Park in south-west Germany, in
Gross Dölln near Berlin, at the Erzberg in Austria, and in the Spanish town of
Aras Rural. The focus in all cases is on a truly sporting style of riding in
demanding terrain. Prices range from Euro 385.- to Euro 1.450.- per person.
Going New Ways: BMW Enduro Tours.
BMW Enduro Tours offer an attractive opportunity to put the skills you have
acquired in training to practical use - either right in the middle of Europe or
at the other end of the world. The range of tours extends from the Sea Alps
Enduro Tour at a price of Euro 1,610.- (F 650 GS, F 650 GS Dakar) to Euro
1,710.- (R 1200 GS) all the way to the Puszta Enduro Tour at a price of Euro
1,490.- (F 650 GS, F 650 GS Dakar) to Euro 1,590.- (R 1200 GS).
Up-and-Coming: BMW Trial Training for the Young Rider. The dedicated enthusiast
wishing to learn genuine riding safety and master sporting challenges must
start training as early as possible. Precisely this is why BMW Trial Training
for the young rider at BMW Motorrad Park Hechlingen offers special training for
children and young people between 10 and 17, long before they take their first
driving lesson, teaching them safe handling of a motorcycle and the right
behaviour in road traffic. The fee is Euro 150.-.
