When can you hire a motorcycle?
Passmasters does not offer standalone road-bike rental. Hire is only available when you are completing an eligible course, coaching session or motorcycle assessment with us.
Learner and BHST
A suitable training motorcycle is included with the one-hour, 1.5-hour and two-hour learner sessions. A helmet and gloves are also provided, up to helmet size 2XL.
CBTA Restricted and Full
Hire bikes are available for selected CBTA 6R and CBTA 6F assessments. The bike must be confirmed for your location and assessment date.
Ride Forever
Selected motorcycles can be hired for Bronze and Silver courses. Your licence, experience and the bike available at the venue determine suitability.
Important: booking a course does not automatically reserve a hire bike. Contact Passmasters and receive confirmation before relying on a hire motorcycle.
