Triumph Daytona 675

Depending on your level of riding experience our DAS courses are available in blocks of either 4, 5 or 6 days. Our 4 day course is aimed at people who already hold a CBT and have a lot of road riding experience, whilst the 5 day course is best for people who hold a CBT but have little road riding experience and the 6 day courses are aimed at the complete novice without a CBT or any riding experience.

Accelerated Access Scheme

If you have already obtained a full standard category A licence and you reach the age of 21 before the two year qualifying period is complete you may opt to take a further test on a motorcycle with a power output of at least 35kW (46.6bhp) to gain immediate access to all motorcycles. This is called Accelerated Access. You can practice for this test on motorcycles above 25kW only if you are accompanied by a certified motorcycle instructor on another motorcycle and you are displaying `L’ plates. You do not need to complete CBT again, or pass another theory test.

All our courses include the Module 1, Module 2 practical and theory test fees. The course start time is 9am.
