Default how much does the msf course cost?

How much does it cost?
Do they offer it in AZ?
How long is it?
If you pass it, do you automatically get your liscense?
Is it worth it?


Thanks for the help. Im thinking about getting a bike soon and the only experience that ive had is on dirt bikes and mopeds hahhaha. Anyways, thanks for the help.

Usually around ~200+ if yer 21 or older and around ~70 if yer under 21. Its usually 4 days, two classroom 2 riding. In CA you still need to take yer written test but the msf class bypasses the riding portion. Yes its definately worth it.

$55 in SW VA. 3 hours in classroom the first day. 4 hours on course/motorcycles on the second day. 1 hour in class to take test and then 4 hours on course/motorcycles the third day. But it seems to vary a lot from region to region.

Damn, you guys pay a lot of money. In Ohio it's $25 if you are over 18, under it's free. I guess the state subsidizes the program more than others.

Thats so dumb they charge extra if your over 21. That seems completely backwards to me. If you are over 21 you dont *need* to take the course, so it seems the HUGE increase in price would just cause those over 21 to just say **** it.

18yr olds are more likely to say f*ck it then 21 yr olds. I guess they really want the "kids" to get experience before they jump on a bike. Makes sense to me... but whatever over here its mad money either way.

Damn, should have went to one of these states and taken it. Driving, gas, and hotel, still would have been cheaper
