    You do realize that VTEC evolved from REV which HRC developed in the early 80's. That's right, it was on bikes first.

    Btw...this was news in 2002

    taking it in april. Can't wait heard its a fun course. Even people that have been riding for years take it every so often as a refresher course. plus it helps with insurance discounts.

    https://online.dds.ga.gov/motorcycle/index.aspx

    This link gives a better understanding of the class.

    The Basic Course (BRC)

    In this course, you'll learn how to operate a motorcycle safely, with emphasis on the special skills and mental attitudes necessary for dealing with traffic. GMSP Coaches will start you off with straight-line riding, turning, shifting and stopping. You'll gradually progress to cornering, swerving and emergency braking. In the classroom you'll learn about the different types of motorcycles, their characteristics, and how they operate. The GMSP Coaches, all experienced motorcyclists, will advise you on what to wear for comfort, visibility and protection. You'll find out how alcohol and other drugs affect your ability to ride safely. A very important segment of the course will show you how to create your own strategy for riding in traffic, and how to deal with critical situations. The course concludes with a knowledge test and an on-cycle skill evaluation. The Basic Course requires no experience and we provide a motorcycle for you. Click on Course Information for more details.

    Enrollment fee, $250.00 (Out-of-state fee, $300.00) NO REFUND

    * General Facts
    * Schedules/Register
    * Course Information



    BRING YOUR OWN HELMET That way, it fits, smells less and prolly hasn't been crashed in before.

    they teach you a lot of useful tools that can be used EVERY TIME you ride. also, if im not mistaken they teach you how to lay your bike down causing you less harm? i think i heard some one talking about that that took the course.

    I had thought about getting an interceptor instead of my FZ1 but I went for the better performance of the FZ over the comfort of the interceptor.

    They are, just more on the touring side of the sport touring class. My FZ1 is more on the sport side of the line and I'm not ready to get an old person's touring bike quite yet. Of course neither are anywhere near a Goldwing.

    I rode a friend of mine's goldwing just to see what they feel like and it felt like I was sitting on my couch driving down the road. It actually had decent handling/pickup. I was genuinely surprised but it still won't run 10's like my FZ1.

    My great aunt told me that she has fallen asleep on the back of her husband's late 70's model GoldWing. It should have several hundred thousand miles on it by now, it is the only thing he has driven for decades.
    I would have never thought of an Interceptor as any kind of tourer though, I would be scared by a puny 600 though.
    Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground...

    The FZ1 and VFR are in the same class. If anything, the VFR is more sporty (full fairing). The FZ1 is Yamaha's non supersport 1000cc bike.

    I took the BRC and they do not teach you how to lay it down...they teach you how to keep it up. Also on the insurance thing...it really only applies to Honda Red Riders (that is where you get a discount) other than that the BRC does nothing for insurance purposes thats what I was told when I got quotes.

    Course worked well also...not saying I never will, but I have never layed my bike down riding. Few close calls but that is what the training in the BRC is about. My first bike was an 04 rc51 brand new
