Introductory
New Training Structure
Effective from May 1st 2025, Think Bike Training is introducing a revised structure for individuals with no
prior experience on geared motorcycles.
The new approach is:
- Automatic CBT: Beginners will initially undertake their Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) on an
automatic motorcycle.
2. Post-CBT Geared Lesson (Optional): Following successful completion of the CBT on an
automatic, students will have the option to book a geared motorcycle lesson to transition to riding
geared bikes.
Benefits of the New Approach
This change aims to create a more comfortable and effective learning environment for new riders:
Reduced Initial Complexity: Starting on an automatic simplifies the initial learning curve,
allowing students to focus on essential skills like balance, control, and road awareness.
Smoother Progression: The optional geared lesson provides a structured transition for those
who wish to learn geared motorcycles, building upon the foundation established during the
automatic CBT.
Increased Confidence: By mastering the basics on an automatic, students can approach
geared bikes with greater confidence and a solid understanding of motorcycle operation.
Next Steps
If you are a new rider with no geared motorcycle experience, your CBT will be conducted on an
automatic. After completing the CBT, you can decide if you’d like to book a geared lesson. Contact
