BMW Signs with California Superbike School for 2010 Rider Training Program

Long regarded as the premier learning institution for performance-minded motorcycle riders, California Superbike School will offer an exclusive program in 2010 for riders of the new BMW S 1000 RR. Beginning in March of 2010, CSS will begin rider training in one- or two-day schools. Forty-eight session are planned throughout the country.

The school is intended to bring new S 1000 RR riders up to speed on the 400-pound, 193-horsepower superbike. “We would not be content offering a motorcycle as powerful as the S 1000 RR without access to top-shelf rider training,” said Todd Andersen, BMW Motorrad USA Marketing Manager. “We want S 1000 RR riders to have the skills and confidence to maximize their ownership experience with this state-of-the-art superbike.”

Some riding experience is required to attend; the school doesn't train first-time riders. However, you don't have to bring your own bike to attend. Participants will have the choice of bringing their own S 1000 RR or renting one of the school's bikes.

Prices vary depending on location and session length. One-day schools run between $390 and $450, plus an additional $200-225 for bike rental. Two-day camps run $2250-2450. Dates for the school are available at www.superbikeschool.com.
