Evening all,

Figured this would be the best place to post up and ask. I just got my hands on an 04' Yamaha xt225 dual sport to jump around town and save some gas instead of taking my jeep around everywhere.

I've had an f4i in the past when I moved to Florida and had a permit but that was prior to July of 08' unfortunately never got my endorsement so now as I understand it I need to take a course to be legal.

I'm coming to you guys to get some suggestions of schools/classes you may recommend. More specifically I'm looking for the most affordable (read: cheapest) class available as I'm a bit poor and would like to get this under my belt prior to shipping out for bct in may.

If you have any suggestions that'd be great...thanks.

 

The closest one to ya would be the best. Its 230 I believe for the course

 

If BCT is military. Most armed forces offer the course for a free or discouted rate. If not just type in MSF to google and you will find what your looking for.

 

joes motorcycle training is in lakeland kind of a drive, but its only 2 days and 165 bucks

 

Ya, I figured a majority of the advice would be that they're pretty similar and to pick whats closest. I havn't heard of Joes Motorcycle Training....although I did find another one in lakeland offering a weekday deal of 155...I think that's what I'll end up doin.

thanks for the suggestions.

 

You may be able to take the course for free. a lot of military bases offer the class free of charge. Unfortunately I don't have a point of contact so you might have to google a bit. The only down side is that the wait list is usually long and they don't do them very often. Wouldn't hurt to look into to save 200$.
I think I took mine thru mSF back in the day. Prices don't seem to ave changed much. If your going to do it, I wouldn't wait to much longer. Once spring rolls in I bet those classes are going to fill up quick.

 

I thought about that as well bun unfortunately I have a Loonnngg training pipeline ahead of me which wont afford me time to take a riders couse....plus, I'd like get out and do some riding prior to leaving....after all I do have 5 months.
