Honda Off-Road Centre

Doubtless inspired by the success of BMW’s Off Road Skills facility in South Wales, Honda has decided to launch its own off-road riding school.

Run by ex-Motocross World Champion Dave Thorpe - and so officially known as the Dave Thorpe Honda Off-Road Centre - it too is situated in South Wales, near to Cardiff.

The focus seems to be slightly different from BMW’s though, as the syllabus includes both motocross (using a dedicated track) and enduro tuition. However, one aspect that both operations have in common is that complete novices are welcome to attend.

Naturally Honda motorcycles will be used, with riders having a choice of CRF150R, CRF250R, CRF250X, CRF450X or CRF250L machines.

Courses are due to begin in February 2013 and bookings are being accepted now. Currently, prices are £199 for the Enduro or Taster Days, while the Motocross Day costs £150.
