I took the 2 day BRC here. This is a great school for people who are willing to put what it takes to get their motorcycle license. The 2-day course is a little exhausting and demanding for people with no experience , like myself. However, my instructor Andrew (Yoda) was great. He told me if you don't give up on me, I won't give up on you. I made it through the course and passed the test! Highly recommend this for people with real interest and willing to put the effort needed to get on a motorcycle. Read Less

I would like to start off by thanking the home office​ for their cooperation, professionalism and understanding. Ali the instructor is the man.!! Makes you understand clearly the course instructions, what is expected and needed. Makes it fun but keeps the seriousness of riding always noted. Joseph the other instructor great guy, straight shooter. Wants you to pass, but not for the life of yours or other riders . He cares ! Like all the instructors do. Will be taking advance classes with them. Thanks guys ! Read Less

I highly recommend this riding school. I came in with zero riding knowledge and ability (outside of what I learned in the course) and they taught me all I needed to know to start riding. Andrew was patient, articulate, and caring in his coaching and criticisms. They thoroughly allow you to practice real life events you'll experience while riding and are kind and understanding when you make mistakes (like I did). Read Less

It was amazing experience with MSS instructors in Brooklyn, people that know what they are doing. And the amazing factor is that they make young people that never sit down in one motorcycle, make them in only two days, drive like they being drive for years. I had to do the course for my license, beside ride a bike for more than 35 years, but worth even who has their license to know some Technics that can save lives wile on the road. Thanks a million for the experience. Read Less

Great school!! The instructors are very knowledgeable and really took there time to explain why and the why not in riding not just "do this". Example: I HAD a bad habit of using the clutch in a turn to coast through a turn, I later learned that is a no no. My class had to 2 students that already had there license and they came back for some more classes form the instructors there. Read Less

Taking this course is one of the best decisions a motorcycle rider can make. I was on a 2-full day training with Andrew as our main instructor. He is excellent at what he does. His goal is safety for his students on the road, and he exemplifies his teaching with passion and love for his work. You will have a lot of fun with him as your instructor while learning effectively to ride a motorcycle. If I could give more stars I would. Read Less

Excellent class & super helpful staff. Andrew & Joseph are amazing instructors with a great deal of knowledge in terms of safe riding. P.S, Andrew's face mask is boss af. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn the basics of riding a motorcycle. Read Less

I'm British and had a licence in the U.K. but hadn't ridden in several years. They took me from the basics to being comfortable on a bike. Shmuel and Yoda are patient, explain things really well and are brilliant people. Couldn't recommend this place enough Read Less

Excellent school experience. Would definitely back to advance course after own a bike. High skilled, professional, and fun teachers keep helping and cheer up you through whole course. I took 2 days basic riding course and was amazed how great the school and instructors. Highly recommend the school if all you rode in your life was a bicycle and willing to learn how to ride a motorcycle. It's was a pleaser and fun to spend two fully engage to riding days with the group of our teammates and MSS's instructors. Also good for motorcyclists who wants to improve the skills that they have. After the school you would feel much more confidant with a bike. Thank you for this experience. Thank you for your help Andrew, Scott, Shmuel, Ali. Read Less

The course was pretty good--I definitely learned a lot.  My only complaint is that the range sessions (actual riding practice) were cut short by 1.5-2 hours both days, and it would have been helpful to have more practice and get more feedback from coaches.  There were a few exercises where each person only got one repetition going one direction (e.g. only practicing the right hand turn, but not the left).  I passed the road test at the end, but about half the class failed.  I think we could have used the full amount of practice time to get everyone more comfortable on the bikes and to a place where more folks would have passed the test.  This seems to be pretty abnormal, judging from the other reviews and friends who have taken the course here.

I just got home from taking the two day basic riding course. I'm exhausted as a result of the intense heat of the last two days. HOWEVER, it was a great experience and if anyone is considering driving either a motorcycle or a scooter, you have to make the investment in this course. Yes, I said investment! The course is $350 and that's cheap if you consider your safety important. $350 is chump change change when you consider the cost of biker gear (helmet,gloves, jacket, and pants) which can cost over a $1,000 easily. And if you consider the cost of a bike, then the $350 is truly immaterial. Why am I writing this review? I'm writing it because the instruction that we received, primarily from Andrew, AKA Yoda was exceptional!! Two days of learning how to ride, and in the heat was quite challenging. Yoda, however, kept it light and kept us focused as well as instilling confidence in our class. In my lifetime I have achieved many degrees, including a doctoral degree, and have had many professors/instructors in my life. In my estimation, Andrew is as fine an instructor, in teaching motorcycle riding and safety, as many of my great professors were in teaching their specialties.   Motorcycling is sexy and fun, but dangerous!! If you are really considering riding, don't fuck around with your well being! Go to these guys and get prepared!!Here's the bonus, if you pass the class, you get a waiver from the dmv and do not have to take a road test. WHAT!!!!BIg shout out to Yoda and Bruce, thank you for you dedication to teaching us to ride safely!!Richard Peña, PT, DPT, CSCS,LMT Read Less

I began a noob who was a bit overconfident in his skill and messed up alot but with the help of the best motorcycle instructors around, I was able to get down the basics. I learned alot. I would like to give a special shout-out to Andrew for giving me a more responsible approach to riding a motorcycle. Read Less

Informative and engaging staff made learning the basics NOT feel like summer school. That crew of instructors (Shmuel, Joe, Ali, and Andrew) spent all day on the range critiquing little mistakes and reiterating the technique of how-to-not-die-on-the-street. I'll be back here for the BRC2. Many thanks.Read Less

Had a fantastic experience at MSS Spring Creek. My riding coaches Dana and Shmuel were knowledgeable,patient and supportive. I Would definitely recommend this school to anyone looking to learn the basics of riding a motorcycle. I'm not really a "Yelp kinda person" (this is my first review) which speaks how highly I though of my experience. Many thanks to my riding coaches and the rest of he team over there. Can't wait to see you out on the road. Read Less

I truly cannot thank Andrew enough for the 2.5 days spent at the basic rider course.  It is worth every dollar and minute spent.  I had zero motorcycle experience prior to this except riding on the back of a bike. Before attending the class I was very nervous and afraid I would be the least knowledgeable person there.  Andrew made every student feel comfortable, regardless of experience level.  We all left that weekend knowing a great deal about motorcycles, how to be safe and how to ride.  His support, coaching and guidance got us all across the finish line no matter where we came in as riders.Before I started the 2.5 day course I took a one hour private class with Angus, who was fantastic.  We practiced starting the bike up, mounting the bike and really basic things.  Would suggest this for any new riders as well just so you have an IDEA of what to expect for the weekend. The fact of the matter is riding motorcycles can be dangerous and is daunting to beginners.  Like any new thing you are learning, it takes practice, study, a positive attitude and open mind.  This course was not easy for me, but I am so proud of what I learned.  This course provides the foundations you need to start riding and how to stay safe.   I recommend this course to anyone remotely interested in the sport.  You will walk away and maybe surprise yourself like I did. Thank you Andrew and my fellow students for a great introduction to riding.Vail Read Less

Andrew makes this place worth every penny!  What a phenomenal instructor!  He has the passion, skill and patience to teach a beginner or seasoned biker.  The class format is excellent and I learned so much in their Basic Rider 2 day course.I highly recommend this class to anyone and they are lucky to have a guy like Andrew teaching people how to ride.  I can't say how grateful I am and I will be back for more!Neil Russo Read Less

I cannot thank the instructors enough at this location, but I must give a special thanks to Andrew. He has an uncanny ability to keep the material interesting, fun and informative. His coaching was spot and  he did an amazing job of being completely honest with the class. I think I can speak for the class that we were all amazed with our progress from beginning to end. I took the 2.5 day course and came from Williamsburg. The commute was an easy 45 minutes. I highly recommend this location and, if possible, having Andrew as your instructor. Read Less

Just finished taking the 2 day basic riders course and was pleasantly surprised with all the instructors . Ali and Shmoud made sure we understood not only the fundamentals of motorcycle riding ,but how to stay safe and most importantly the joy that that comes with it. Highly recommend this site . Ride safe and Ride on. Read Less

I had an excellent experience with Andrew, Sandra, Joseph, and Bruce. They kept the classroom material interesting, helped the class master the basic skills, and gave us confidence to go out there and ride.I did a 2.5 day basic course with a couple of friends and despite rain on the first day of riding we all did well and had fun. Definitely would recommend this place to others. Read Less

Wow! Two day MSS BRC - Done !What an experience. Our instructors were Andrew  (yoda) and John.     How they bring that level of enthusiasm,  serious information,  impromptu comedy wrapped in support is astounding.  Trust me I do training.   I specifically want to say that everyone is treated like a blank canvas.  I was the only female in my class and I was never treated differently.  Each student is evaluated and instructed at their own level.  If you're on a bike for the first time,  they got you. A scooter? They got you.  Experienced but need the basics and a license? They got you.   Thank you guys - much appreciation for what you do Read Less

My experience was great from the private lesson I took with Boris prior to the actual course until the end of the brc. I took the two day course being a complete novice never have ridden before.  I still am a novice but they teach a wealth of information that you cannot learn from your rider buddies or self learning.  My instructors were ray, adam, steven, I forgot the other 2 but all around great guys who explained every part and then did it themselves. Taking this course was a very good investment in my opinion. If you do plan on taking it and have never ridden before trust me take a private lesson before you take the course.  It will help you greatly.  Highly recommend this school. Read Less

My sister and I were looking for a motorcycle school, and each found MSS on our own independent search, so we signed up for the 'Two Day Basic course with NYS DMV waiver'. Initially, at first booking this, $350 for two days, seemed like a HEAVY financial hit.  It's essentially 5 components; Online self study instruction/testing at your own pace, then 2 days of 2 sessions each day, a classroom portion, then 'ridercoach' supervised skills/drills instruction on a private course, mixed with breaks, lunch periods, along with a  with a 'expletive' amount of fun. The class was varied ages, Guys & Gals with cycling experience ranging from never motorcycled, to owning bikes for 10 years. Joseph, our main instructor, was on point. Knows his stuff, book wise, and streets wise.. Very realistic and common sense approach to riding, your personal saftey depends on the knowledge he can instill into your noggin while your under his wing, and he does it in a very personable and relatable way.. Along with Joe, he was assisted by Schamuel, and Andrew aka Yoda, each with their own different approach and techniques, so by the end of the course, everything you've heard about was covered multiple times, explained multiple different ways. Something is going to sink in.Most people I know, learned to ride by jumping on a friends bike, and having a go.. Yes, you can do that still. The problem is, when you encounter a 'situation' when  riding, your going to be required how to solve your problem, off your limited experience and knowledge, in seconds. All the YouTube vids and motorcycle mags you consume aren't building your physical skill set and confidence either. Taking the MSS class, you'll KNOW your possible options before hand, feel comfortable executing severe swerve or braking action, before you need to put a plan into motion. The MSS program is a nationally accredited saftey school, requiring instructors to meet MSS's own skills and saftey criteria, and also be NYS DMV certified motorcycle instructors; (As a 'saftey' program, also qualifies you for insurance discount) This is NOT a 'teach to the test' program. Yes, you will have all the skills needed for handily passing the testing portions, but you'll also have about tenfold the motorcycling knowledge you actually need, for them, a good head start on a long, safe, fun, activity. Upon completing the class, $350 I paid seems a bargain. ONE incident while motorcycling, whether its equipment damage, damage to someone else's property, or the worst case if all, personal injury to yourself or even death, all would be more expensive, so I feel this is probably the best money I'll spend on motorcycling. You KNOW you won't leave home without your cellphone anymore, so don't ride without taking a MSS saftey class. Read Less

I took the 2 Day Basic Rider Course:First off, i would like to thank Angus, Andrew, and Joseph for one of the best experiences i ever had. All three of these instructors have lots of experience out in the streets and the track. Their main priority was to assure our safety when we ride out in the streets. All the instructors are very professional, friendly and will help you.  Especially Angus, he noticed a few things i was doing wrong and told me. 1st i was holding the handlebars with a death grip. 2nd i was looking at the floor. I highly recommended this course to any who's thinking about hopping on a motorcycle. After completing this course i came out with more confidence and a lot more knowledge. Read Less

Excellent school Ricky, Tony and Ray were all great instructors who not only taught me how to ride safely but gave me the confidence to do so. My only complaint would have to be the instructor Jeffrey. He was unsupportive and made rude comments to people who were on a motorcycle for the first time i.e. "Oh looks like you're not ready for the big time" or "were you even paying attention during the demo?". Besides his attitude the course gave me the skills to get out on the streets right away. I highly recommend this school! Read Less

I took introductory course here in summer 2015. This was great experience for me. Highly recommend this course and the place to every one who wants to get a feel for the motorcycle ride. Better later than never! Read Less

Whatever has brought you to this page is real.Listen to this instinct and take the course.The trusted staff are a passionate group.Joseph ran point on my group.

This was also thanks to Ed. Ed killed it.WATCH OUT FOR YA BOY SCOTT THE MAN THE MYTH CLASS A GENTLEMANI mean, I'm telling you, you've gotta talk to these people.Be reasonable and take the course.

I took the basic rider course which I highly recommend for any new rider.  The first day was a solid six stars if Yelp went that high.  The instructors were Joseph and Ray, both of whom were outstanding.  Joseph in particular is a great instructor and even the classroom session, which I assumed would be boring, was informative and entertaining.  The riding portion was really well done, and the feedback of both instructors was encouraging and always valuable.The three stars is due to the instructor on the second day, a rodeo clown named Chris.  Clearly couldn't care less.  Class started an hour late (and this place is a pain to get to on public transport) with stupid youtube videos unrelated to the class.  The whole day was this guy giving clipped answers when he answered at all.  Total jerk and, educationally, a wasted day.  Pretty much ruined the MSF experience for me.  I'd go back if I could be assured of getting one of the excellent instructors.  But I'll be going somewhere else for the higher level courses.

KELVIN KU IS THE BEST THERE IS! I was super excited to learn about riding motorcycles but at the same time, ridiculously nervous and scared! I arrived at the site to learn and not only was the team very helpful and gave us a good run through, but it was who I was paired up with that really sealed the deal. Mr. Kelvin Ku really made me feel at ease and educated me A LOT on the bike and the most important things for beginner riders to know. He showed me the ropes and really knows his craft! I began to feel more and more comfortable and I have to say, even confident that everything Kelvin was telling me will certainly stick! With the positive and contagious energy he had, my nerves were put to rest and this instant jolt and boost of energy overcame me!  There was not one question I asked that was left unanswered by Kelvin. He was able to give me the best answer there was and not afraid to correct me. He instilled a new sense of thinking when it came to riding motorcycles and he stressed the importance of safety and what to do if you are (God forbid) ever in danger. OK.. I must be very honest and also mention that not only was he an AMAZING, FRIENDLY, WELL EDUCATED, ENERGETIC, INTELLIGENT, POSITIVE, HILARIOUS instructor, but SUPER DUPER HOTTIE! So ladies... if you are interesting in learning to ride motorcycles, what can make a better class then a top notch instructor who is total eye candy!!!All in all, MSS is a great program and everyone on the team was like a big family and greeted myself and any first time riders with open arms! THANK YOU KELVIN KU! Read Less

Highly recommended ! As a beginner I needed a lot of practice and confidence in my own capabilities before I dared to take a motorcycle. I got both over a weekend that was challenging at times but always progressively built upon learnt skills to go to the next level. Read Less

Before I contacted this school, all I knew how to ride on two wheels was a bicycle and after being introduced to a motorcycle by Jimmy and then taught more while being coached by Danny and Jason, I could say omg... I rode a motorcycle and these guys thought me. And yes, we even rode in the snow as well... The best place to learn how to ride a bike.... I've had a few bumps during the lessons but they kept on coaching me and made sure I was ok.You guys are the best. Read Less

Worst school ever, took a class at Lehman college in winter 2014. Terrible instructor, does not teach anything in class, just tells you to answer questions at the end of book he hands out... without giving you time to read the book. Didn't show how to ride the scooter either, some other guy on the field had to show me how to navigate. Similarly terrible phone receptionist Audrey. They also lied to me about getting a refund. Read Less

I am so grateful to the MSS. I have dreamed of riding a Motorcycle for years now. This place was the best . I did a few private lessons and then the 2 day course. Now I am riding my Harley around N.Y.C ! Shout out to Zaid , Ray and Preston.Look nowhere else for lessons just go here! Read Less

So you wanna ride a motorcycle? Look no further! This is a very well run and quite intensive 2 / 2.5 day course. Don't be scared people! Every step is talked about, explained and ultimately experienced repeatedly on motorcycles as provided by MSS. A few notes from my experience:- Don't be late! I took the course out in Spring Creek and as someone without a car had to rely on weekend trains (the closest being the A/C at Euclid Ave then a 15 minute walk). To make it there around 7.15 meant having to get up at the un-Godly hour of 5:30am! I can't believe I managed that!- Plan ahead! Aside from the required riding clothes bring plenty of water, some snacks and a packed lunch. It's amazing how dehydrated you can get after a few hours on a bike, always have water at hand. There is a vending machine inside but unless you want to live on junk food for 2 days I say bring your own.- Relax! Don't go into this having never ridden a motorcycle before expecting to be some kind of automatic Hells Angel. This is a completely new skill set that your body has to learn so take everything slow and don't get frustrated with yourself. The instructors here are very patient and understanding and will encourage you to LEARN in a group where everyone is at the same level.This was a great overall experience. I would say this course should be the starting point for everyone before getting a motorcycle for the safety education, basic 101 riding skills and knowledge of how motorcycles work. I now have a license and feel like I am capable of taking the next step by buying my own motorcycle and taking (cautiously) to the streets of NY.Thanks MSS! Read Less

Never in my wildest dreams would I ever think to say the words "I love school."  This place is where its at, through and through. Super informative. I have rode bikes in the past and took this to get my license and a refresher. Took the two day course. I would recommend  this to ANYONE that is considering having a motorcycle or motorcycle license. Jason, Omar, and Rick were such great instructors. Money well spent. Thank you. Ride safe everyone. Read Less

Ed. is the best instructor ever! He is very patient, cheerful and nobody explained to me the "friction zone" like he did.He starts with the basics and make you more confident. Joseph is an excellent rider and was very nice too.They give you good advices and it's amazing how you make progress during this 2 days courses! Great experience, thank you. Read Less

Super A plus teaching mechanism,  cant complaint about anything.Just pass my BRC today thanks to the instructors Joseph, Omar, Tony, or antonio, not good with names lol. Great teacher,money well spend.My first time riding a motorcycle, and let me tell you, this guys will make you understand every part of the motorcycle, point your mistakes as soon as you make them so you wont do it again, help you build your confidence in the bike,teach you good riding strategies,From baby steps, to Pro handling experience, overall Take this class If your serious about riding safety, not only becuase it gives you the opportunity to get your license.The class session is "great" nice and smooth, with lots of video interaction. (Better than the 5 hour pre licensing class, At any driving school lol, DMV ORG, please Make a better video.) :)The range session, "Even Better" with lots of simulation,Lots of exercises. And teaching strategies. Knowledge test, multiple choice question.Skills test, 4 Evaluation parts, U-turn, swerve, braking, making a turn.Had a great class, thanks guys, and the Last class of the Year.Thanks for reading, Merry Christmas guys and have a Happy New Year.

Echoing some of the previous yelper experiences, the instructors are absolutely fabulous and lovely. However, the management and the administration are terribly trained, inconsistent, and insistently do not take responsibility for their errors on top of being accusatory and rude. It is a shame because the instructors really are wonderful. They clearly are not supported by the "support staff". Many errors abounded in my 2 day riding class at the Spring Creek location. 1) 3 of the 5 of the students were never informed about how the start time was rescheduled to an earlier time so they showed up for the original later start time. We had to start the class very late (~40 minutes). Since I got there early, I waited about an hour for the class to actually start. 2) I was called the Monday of the week that my Th-Fr class was canceled and I was rescheduled to the Sa-Su class but then wasn't put on the roster. I didn't realize this until the 2nd day, got thru day one and the morning of day 2 totally fine with nothing mentioned to me. Then on the 2nd day afternoon, when the instructor couldn't boot up, in the frigid cold, enough bikes for everyone, I was called into the office and admin dressed me down for not confirming with them and tried to make it my fault. At this point, the class had already waited an hour for the bikes to be ready and I had already offered to step aside if need be (everyone else had taken time off from work/family/etc. to take the class; I had a flexible schedule currently so was taking the class for fun/no deadlines). It was an offensive way to deal with an issue of their equipment by making it seem like it was the student's fault there were too many students/not enough bikes. It was a slippery/morally-convenient way to deal with the issue of not having enough bikes, EVEN after I had already offered to step aside separately. They could have resolved it gracefully but chose to not only not do that, but to escalate and accuse. 3) When I asked for a supervisor, the person was like "you're talking to one". It was really sad. Then I asked to talk to the owner and was told a manager would be in on Monday. After that the Manager did call and was very solicitous. Clearly, it seemed they realized how terribly the situation was handled. I was comped and rescheduled for February and was told I could just come in for the 2nd day afternoon, by the Manager and the instructor. 4) But then when I called back to inquire about my rescheduled class (for February of the next year), they said I had to retake everything, including the written test I had passed already. This is totally different than what the Manager had said that I could just come to the 2nd part of the 2nd day. The person on the phone was just also rude, assuming that the miscommunication was due to the fact that I was on speakerphone or bluetooth. (Wut??) They really go out of their way to put blame (even for minutia, like a poor line connection) on the client, rather than take any responsibility as a professional company. (Sorry for the minutia, but it seems they can't get it together so here's a solution that could be tried: They could easily ask for call back numbers when they answer the phone in order to call you back should the line be dropped or unclear. Why ever waste your energy insisting it is the customer's imagined bluetooth or speakerphone?! If your customer service folks are frazzled or overworked and therefore obnoxious to customers, rotate them.)The communication is not clear/rigorous. There is a lot of back-and-forth, cancellations, missed communication, poor scheduling. Be prepared to waste some time dealing with inept admin/managers and doing a lot of the extra work yourself, confirming and re-confirming things have not changed and that you have the right information (different people will give you different information). It's unfortunate that you, as the client, have to take on the burden of providing an extra time cushion in the case your class is canceled/rescheduled/something happens--so if you have to get your license before your permit expires, do it well in advance and don't rely on the MSS getting it right the first time around.  Again, the instructors are great and know what they are doing and clearly love to ride and introducing that to others. It's clearly an administrative/managerial issue. If they were not one of the few in NYC that offer the test waiver, I don't think people would put up with their unprofessional and abrasive administrative/managerial staff. I certainly wish there were more options for a similar class such as this in NYC. For $350/person, and very little overhead costs (old bikes and some cones?), you'd think they could get some customer service training for the staff for the holidays. Read Less

This place is awesome. I never had experience riding any type of motorcycle and MSS taught me all the fundamental basics to boost my confidence and become street legal in 2 days. The administration office is professional and friendly, but the actual training locations are mind-blowing. The Sprink Creek location is simply the best!! The instructors are mad chill and answer all your questions thoroughly and professionally. Ray and Zaid especially. Those guys are freakin' awesome and I couldn't have asked for a better learning experience! Read Less

Had no experience on a motorcycle before and they recommended a 2-hour private lesson before taking the Basic Rider Course. I did prep work by reading the BRC course book online and watching youtube before taking the private lesson. It helps cut out the time it takes to explain basic controls. The private lesson gives you the extra seat time beforehand so during the BRC you can work on perfecting the maneuvers for each exercise instead of learning for the first time during the BRC. Read Less

Pros: instructors (Lenny, Robert, and the guys) are very friendly, they'll kick you in the butt or give encouragement as needed; instructors pass on a lot of real world experience; very positive atmosphere (no stupid questions); they supply the bikes and even helmetsCons: most locations are a pain to get to (I took the course at Mott Haven in the Bronx); bikes are old and banged up and very very finicky; really need more time on the course practicing and less class room time (though the class time is informative)Conclusion: highly highly recommend, it's a bit pricey at $350, but well worth it. Read Less

I would recommend this class to ANYONE interested in getting a motorcycle license or learning how to ride. Some people in the class took a private lesson beforehand, some people had been riding for years, but I didn't have any experience on a motorcycle. However, the class pace is amazing and the instructors were incredible. I had no idea what to expect, but while every one of them was a different personality they were all welcoming, encouraging, safety conscious, and great teachers. Over the 2.5 day class in Mott Haven I had Brett, Josh, Cheri, Jimmy, and Danny. The classroom portion isn't the most fun you'll have in your life, but the riding portion is great. Being on time is no joke though, so make sure you leave early - especially with a long commute. I was coming from Brooklyn, so it takes over an hour to get to Mott Haven anyway... then there was a fire on the 4 train Sunday morning. Thankfully, I still made it on time in a cab. I don't fault them for having such a strict policy though, otherwise people wouldn't be on time. This review is getting pretty long, but only because I really can't say enough good things about this course. HIGHLY recommended. Read Less

I took this class with absolutely no experience on a bike.... Antonio ""Tony"" instructed the course and in his patient manner of teaching made me feel like I knew what I was doing in a very short time. I recommend this class to anyone who is willing to learn more about motorcycle driving and safety. Thank you Tony for such a wonderful experience!!! Read Less

Great Instructor's very helpful & Knowledgeable took a couple of private lesson first a Must. Than set up for The Basic Rider Course long Hour's but well worth it when it come's to the Test. Highly Recommended This School Get's You On The Road Quick & Safely Read Less

I had a private lesson with I thought was a one on one but I guess because I was special, I had the help of two instructors with different riding styles. Fred and Melvin were great. I had no idea getting on a motorcycle was so much fun. They made me so relaxed that it felt I had done this before. They both told me my strengths and what I needed to focus on next time. They encouraged me to stay focus and I can't wait to start my basic rider course. MSS has a great staff, if you get these two, they sure know what they are talking about. I have no doubt they all do. Read Less

I guess you could say I'm an experienced rider since I've been renewing my permit for over 30 years! I failed the road test several years ago. I didn't feel it was justified but what is....is. It always gnawed at me that I didn't have the license. I say I'm experienced but I ride less than 500 miles in a year....not much. To the point. I decided to take this course which would result in obtaining the holy grail - a motorcycle license. I got MUCH MORE out of this course. Although always safety conscious I learned to be much safer and UNDID a few bad habits, by learning skills and tips that you will hone as you continue to ride. Instructors are GREAT....encouraging... and they make it fun. Make no mistake though. They are super serious that you learn. What shone through the most was their concern about your SAFETY...at the class and in knowing they are sending you out into the REAL WORLD of motorcycling. Antonio, Ray, ""T"" and Joon....THANKS VERY MUCH!!!! Read Less

I took the basic rider course earlier this month and I can't believe how easy they made it to learn how to ride safely. The instructors (Antonio and Steve) were extremely helpful, encouraging and engaging. They provided tons of experience and made the two-day experience a great one. I highly recommend you take this course. I had zero (0) experience before I came to this class. When I say zero, I mean to say I didn't even know how to properly start up a bike. After passing the course, I felt comfortable enough to ride and can't wait to get my own bike. I recommend you take this course even if you're an experienced rider.

I cannot recommend this enough for anybody inexperienced who wants to learn to ride a motorcycle. Before going through MSS I had 0 experience on a motorcycle. If that's your case I recommend 2 or 3 hours of private lessons before the course, although somebody I was in the course with had no experience or private lessons and by the end was a great rider. Besides learning and skipping the DMV test, the people here are absolutely AMAZING! I took private lessons with Antonio and Johnathan in Williamsburg, and then the course in the Bronx with Ray, Antonio, and Monica. All 5 were some of the most positive and encouraging people I have ever met. They really seem to get excited when you master a new skill. Even more amazing is they remember everybody's name and therefore give you even more personal encouragement. I heard ""That's it Jason, you got it!!"" many times. Even when I had my helmet on they knew it was me. Right after the class I bought a Ducati and felt comfortable driving all around Manhattan. I'm sure I would have been scared had I learned to ride from a friend or something else. I have never written a review on Citysearch before, but this was such an amazing experience I felt they deserved it. Read Less
