Ducati Rider Training Launches in the UK

The British division of Ducati today announced the launch of a new rider training scheme that customers will benefit from at 13 locations across the country. The ‘Ducati Rider Training’ scheme will see a training facility linked to a franchised Ducati dealership and will be tailor-made to an individual’s ability and previous experience, which will also be reflected into the pricing of each course.

Initially, the training will take place at one of the authorised training facilities on 125cc motorcycles before moving onto the training school's bigger bikes and then relocating to the Ducati dealership, where the training company will progress the rider on to the Ducati Monster 696.

Riders over the age of 21 may take their full licence on a bike of 46.6bhp or above. Once they have reached the required standard. All full licence training will be conducted on the 696 and will cover all aspects of riding in both town and country.

They will be under the guidance of a fully qualified instructor with a radio link using a bike-to-bike radio. Upon successful completion of the practical motorcycle test they will be able to ride any size Ducati without waiting for the end of a two-year restriction.

“Ducati UK is committed to introducing new people to not only motorcycling but also the Ducati brand. For many people their ambition is to learn to ride and ride a Ducati. This scheme encompasses both these aspects and makes the dream come true with a simple call to one of the 13 dealer/training facility locations. We hope to expand the number of locations next year once the scheme has been established,” stated Debbie Wiggins, Marketing Manager for Ducati UK.
