Would absolutely recommend these guys. Carl is a legend who, despite looking like he might have onset hypothermia at moments thanks to the less than favourable conditions 🌧️ ☔️ gently & patiently helped us get to grips with the basics while water dripped off his nose, remaining resolutely upbeat throughout. Informative, enjoyable and safe 👍

Absolutely fantastic. I have never rode a motorbike before and carl made me feel so at ease. He is very patient and explains manovers brilliantly. I was absolutely petrified but he kept telling me I can do it. There is also ken who is brilliant. I can't recommend them enough. Thank you for making my first experience on a motorbike enjoyable.

Had a great day doing my cbt at Stoke Motorcycle Training. The instructor was fantastic (Carl) gave me lots of good advice and help getting up to scratch to get me road ready. Once on the road the day surpassed excellent. Can't thank Carl and Stoke Motorcycle Training enough and really look forward to doing my lessons with them. All in all a great outfit and would highly recommend them to all.

Just passed my cat A unrestricted motorcycle mod 2 test today only 16 days after passing my theory test, big thanks to Steve who I did my CBT course with, and a big thanks to Ken who prepped me for my MOD1 and MOD2 enabling me to pass both of them on my first attempt, it's been an absolute pleasure to learn from you both. I highly recommend stoke motorcycle training to anyone who's looking to get gnarly on the Harley (so to speak), good luck, take care, stay safe 👍 🙏

Brilliant place. I did a "rusty rider" course after 5 years away from riding. Ken was a fantastic help. Lots of pointers and after 2 hours, I'm feeling confident again!
Highly recommend!

I cannot recommend 'Stoke Motorcycle Training' highly enough! Steve was a great instructor, he was patient and very encouraging. Despite my numerous attempts at stalling the bike, he kept everything very upbeat and brought the best out of me. As the day progressed I felt my confidence levels increasing, and this was definitely down to his style of teaching. As well as being instructive, the day was also fun, again this was very much down to Steve's way of conducting the session. By the end of the day I felt thoroughly proud that I had earned my 'ticket.' At 50 years of age, I am a very late starter, but I encourage anyone who is thinking of having a go, or has wanted to ride for years but has never got around to it, to give the guys at 'Stoke Motorcycle Training' a call, I'm sure that you will enjoy and benefit from the training as much as I did. I did my Training on a Yamaha YS125, and Steve made a couple of adjustments with the clutch and rear brake which helped my riding style, the bike and all the equipment provided was top notch. I will definitely go back for more training as I progress along my riding journey. Five stars from me! Thanks again!

Did my cbt today with Steve, what a great guy and teacher. We had the worst weather possible and yet I had the time of my life out there on the road. This is such a good company I’m already planning on carrying on my motorcycle journey with them and going for my licenses. I can’t recommend them highly enough.

Did my Cbt with Steve and felt very supported. When on the road Steve gave tips and improvements to make sure we were as safe as possible. Overall a great guy and great place to learn

Have to give this a 5 star, the training was fantastic, the instructor knew what he was doing, he was patient with me stalling the bike alot, and gave good encouragement. The training was in depth and the instructor made sure we were fully comfortable on the motorcycle before moving onto the next stage, once we hit the road riding the motorbike felt natural, smooth and ended up being a real fun ride. Give them a go if you're thinking of doing their CBT, I'll be coming back for my full motorcycle licence.

He's not worth the 1 star but I'm unable to remove it, recently I decided to start a new journey on learning to ride a motorbike so I went to ken, big mistake! The school (if that's what u can call it) was very unprofessional and I felt like they only cared if you could already ride a bike, unfortunately this wasn't me. They had no time to train I was told to get on and go, I felt unsafe and was totally put off riding. I was told to come back another day to have a bit more time and again this was a joke. One he never answers his phone nor messages then when he finally replied I had 2hrs riding and he charged me full day cbt, when asked why he sent me a load of nasty messages saying it was my fault. If you can't ride a bike please do not come to this burk. Bryan's bmw training is a much better school with decent trainers who have time to make sure you are safe and enjoy your experience. We'll done ken for being the most incompetent instructor I've ever met

I took my CBT with Steve today. I was apprehensive as I had never ridden a geared bike before. I suggested maybe I should start on the 50cc automatic moped. Steve reassured me and said if you want to use a geared bike at a later date then try out the geared bike first, If you don’t feel comfortable afterwards then we can move you on to the moped.
As soon as I got on the bike I realised how good of an instructor he was and I took to the bike more easily than I thought. He made the day light hearted and enjoyable.
Absolute legend and I will be taking my training further with these guys as they are clearly good at what they do.

I did my CBT with Stoke Motorcycle Training on Saturday. I'll admit that I was a little apprehensive at first, as it had been 35 years since I've riden anything other than a bicycle or a horse. But the trainer/assessor, Steve, was absolutely brilliant. A few of his jokes soon put me at ease, and I found his laid back style just right, very informative and reassuring. I was soon feeling confident and riding safely and assuredly on one of their 50cc scooters. And I've been out on my 125cc with confidence since. Overall it was a brilliant day, and I can thoroughly recommend this training centre and especially Steve. I'd definitely be interested in going back in the future to take my full bike licence with them.

Used Stoke Motorcycle Training today 22/5/22 for my CBT and could not be happier with how it went, Ant and Steve were both great instructors, very thorough and helped with any questions we had to ask, they made us feel comfortable from the start, I was nervous about going out on the streets but they assured me I’d be fine and as soon as I got on the road my nerves went, I could’ve stayed out all day. Thanks guys

Started out very nervously but Steve (our instructor for the day) helped talk me through what was done right and wrong and in no time was riding well, went through and explained everything very well and helped me with great pointers and helped me build more confidence.
Managed to pass my CBT and I'm sure I'll be back to do my full license with abit more experience :)

Passed Mod1 test today 1st time.
What can I say from training on the road to prep work for Mod1 Ken will make sure you are 100% ready for the test. He will break it down bit by bit for you so you are clear and understand what is required. Just got Mod2 to go now. No doubt with the training provided Mod 2 should be a breeze. highly recommend Ken and team for all your motorcycle training.
Thanks 👍

Before booked for my CBT here, I had experience with other schools and had bad experiences with tutors. But Steve was an amazing and patient instructor, didn't rush with exercises, walk through again and again when saw that can go on another exercise we moved further. I had some issues but he works with me individually and helped to build self-confidence and end of the day I pass my CBT. The next step will be a big bike and definitely, it will be in this school. Highly recommended 👍

Had an excellent day with Steve doing my CBT. Received some great tuition and all the information and knowledge I needed. Steve is an excellent instructor able to tailor and adapt his tuition style to each trainee depending on their ability.
The whole day was very well organised and was an informative yet fun experience.
I will definitely be returning to further my training to progress to a full licence.

Great riding school. Went through everything thoroughly but wasn't confusing and when i got nervous, just took the time to have a little break, relax and go again no problems, (First time on road atall). Would highly recommend for first timers.

I don’t normally do reviews, but they helped me to choose where to learn, so I thought I should leave one. I did my CBT, Mod1 and 2 direct access, passed all first time, I never felt like things were dragged out and the whole process was made much quicker and easier than expected. Thanks Ken, for making it an enjoyable and relaxed experience. All the best to you and the other guys at the school.

I’ve just gone from having nothing to getting everything to a full license in less than 2 months. Ken is patient and calm and a great teacher knows exactly when your ready and is extremely accommodating. Can’t rate or recommend him enough and even better I passed my mod 1 and 2 first time and if he can get me to that stage he can teach anyone :P

Just did my CBT, not been on a bike for a few years and Ken the trainer was really good out on the road, kept you thinking about what was ahead and how to approach without giving you the answers. Didn't make me nervous like other CBT trainers have in the past.
Best trainer I've had so far, can't fault it.

Had my lessons and took both my MOD 1 and Mod 2 Motorcycle tests with Ken through stoke motorcycle training, Passed both, Ken is really good, Very patient and willing to go over the little bits that you may struggle with as many times as you need to, I now have my full licence and a Suzuki Bandit 600. Fantastic and patient teacher with nothing but as much time as you need to get ready for your test. Would highly recommend him to anyone who wanted to pass their test and start driving bigger bikes :D Thanks Ken
