Highly recommend Riverview to anyone looking to ride. Friendly staff and Graeme, my instructor for the day, was extremely patient and encouraging. Training was full-on but I came away feeling confident and excited to start motorcycling journey. Will be doing all future training with Riverview!

Great training from some great human beings

Completed my CBT, Mod1 and 2 with Wayne and team over the course of a few months. Wayne has been great throughout, a down to earth sensible human who provides great input and loves a laugh along the way. I've always felt at home at Riverview and enjoyed the chat as much as the riding. I'd 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a CBT or DAS who values honesty and a genuine interest in you doing well.

CBT training

Had my CBT with Steve. I haven’t been on a bike in over 10 years. I was nervous, but with Steve’s training and patience, I was riding in no time. I never felt pushed, we didn’t move on till we were comfortable with the progress.

I am a more confident road user after my training.

After failing my Mod 2 on a totally inappropriate bike for me, Riverview provided a bike I felt comfortable on and training that will keep me safe for many years as well as passing my Mod 2 with no problems. I was exhausted after my training because of how intense and thorough the riding and instruction was through Southport. Wayne is an easy going guy who wants you to be safe and pass with confidence but won’t give you any BS! He is a very effective instructor that will turn you into a very competent road user. Southport roads are tricky at times but the skills you are taught within the first few hours will prepare you very well for your test. Thanks Wayne, I’ll definitely see you for my big bike test in two years!!!

Brilliant riding school

Brilliant riding school. Passed both my mods on the first attempt. Commuted an hour each way to use this school and it was definitely worth it. Thank you so much to Wayne and the team!

Riverview training is OK

Riverview training is OK, Wayne seems a nice straight forward bloke, I always felt rushed but got there in the end. The only advice id give if you take your training at Riverview is, DONT have your MOD2 test at Southport, the roads aren't maintained properly, as aren't the road markings and the Examiner dosent know his own Highway Code, he failed me for stopping in a "cycle box" that you couldn't even see its that worn out, and then lied id stopped in another after complaining to the DVSA, he failed me twice, 1st time going through flashing Amber at a pelican crossing, read your Highway code Rob.

Best rider training in northwest

If you are looking for the best tuition which prepares you to not only ride but also ride safely river view is the only choice.

I recently did my DAS mod 1 and mod 2 and Wayne will prepare you for both with clear instruction and good tips for successfully passing your tests and giving you the skills to enjoy riding once you have passed.

Highly recommend this riding school as the best in the northwest by far.

What can I say 5 days training and I am now a full licence holder for motorbike category and why is that? Because river view bike training is the best in business.

Wayne the instructor and owner is top class instructing and will soon get you riding how you should be. I had a great week here really good fun and had a laugh with Wayne he makes the company. Brilliant. First time pass on both modules.

Cheers Wayne!

Chose Wayne at Riverview for both My CBT and my DAS. Both times (4 days in total) was totally professional with just the right amount of humour. Instructions were clear and concise and at no point did i feel overwhelmed. 100% recommend to anyone needing motorbike training especially if you are new to it all. Thanks

Best riding school in the Northwest!

Having used two other schools in the Northwest for CBT’s I can safely say this is the best by far. Excellent training facilities with all brand new high standard bikes. I found Wayne to be extremely professional and an excellent teacher. He took me from CBT through to full DAS. He explains everything in detail and in a way that is easy to understand and fun (he has a great sense of humour). Really enjoyed the training and I can safely recommend him as the best!!

Great riding school

I did my CBT and direct access with these lot and can’t rate them highly enough. I recommend them to my brother, wife and 2 work colleagues who have also had positive experiences with them. Might be slightly more expensive than some other outfits but the service and skill more than makes up for it.
