Does anyone know of similar off road / adventure riding training in New Zeealand?
As far as I know there is no permanent course available. I have seen riding courses advertised in the Kiwibiker magazine. If you are in Auckland you could join a family day at the Woodhill forest. These are usually organized by the Waitemata motorcycle club.Alternatively, it is just a matter of having a go on gravel roads, and once you have gained a bit of confidence, you could look at doing a trail ride. Having said that, a lighter bike is probably more suitable than the F650 for trail rides. It would be perfect for gravel, though.
