GARYSBURG, N.C. — November 2025 — Yamaha Champions Riding School, North America’s premier motorcycle training program, is proud to announce its 2026 nationwide schedule—a season designed to help riders of all levels ride with purpose, precision, and confidence.

At ChampSchool, we teach data-proven best practices based on the same techniques used by the world’s best riders. These universal principles apply to any rider, any bike, any road, any goal—because they’re grounded in the physics of how every motorcycle is designed to be ridden.

“Our sport demands respect,” said ChampSchool founder Nick Ienatsch. “We’ve all heard about the freedom, joy, and mental-health benefits of riding, but ‘two-wheeled therapy’ shouldn’t hurt the rider. The solution isn’t just training—it’s proper training: understanding the motorcycle, the data, and the habits that champions use on every ride.”

ChampSchool’s in-person programs remain highly exclusive, with over 90% of 2025 events selling out months in advance. Each program offers Yamaha motorcycles on Bridgestone tires and optional Dainese gear and Arai helmets for an easy “arrive & ride” experience.
