Learn to ride the right way! Perfect your skills with Territory Motorcycle Training
Congratulations on taking the first step toward becoming a licensed motorcyclist! At Territory Motorcycle Training (TMT), we’re here to guide you from day one. This is the Pre-Learner Motorcycle Rider Course, and upon successful completion, it grants you your R Class (motorcycle) learner licence in the Northern Territory (NT).
Whether you’ve never ridden before or already have experience riding motorcycles (even off-road or on private property) this course is packed with valuable learning to help you transition safely onto Northern Territory (NT) public roads. You’ll carry out your training and motorcycle practical assessment in a friendly, supportive environment with passionate instructors who tailor curriculum delivery to suit your level. We'll be helping you build the skills, safety awareness and confidence needed to ride effectively in the unique conditions of NT roads.
Why Choose TMT for Your Learner Motorcycle Licence in Darwin?
We offer the best pricing on all motorcycle licence courses in NT. Skilled riders are safe riders, and we believe that getting the right skills and knowledge from the outset should be as accessible as possible for everyone. We also include free motorcycle or scooter hire with all bookings as standard. No gimmicks, no hidden costs, just great rider training at a great price.
Experience our top-tier motorcycle and scooter fleet and feel the difference in your riding. Our impeccably maintained bikes and scooters have been handpicked for new motorcycle riders as they learn to manage the many challenges of NT road conditions. With manual and automatic options, and a motorcycle height range to accommodate tall and short riders, we ensure each student is matched to the right bike or scooter to build confidence and have fun from the moment you start. Fun fact, our smallest fully road compliant bikes have been lowered to a seat height of 70 cm! All of our bikes have top safety features such as ABS, and 6-speed gearboxes. And you'll never see us running agricultural bikes or outdated machines - you deserve to learn on a real-world bike to set you up for real-world NT riding conditions.
We offer super flexible motorcycle learner licence options that work around your busy schedule. Choose a full-day course, or split your sessions across two weekday evenings.
