About the company

Tommy Bee Motorcycle Training is a motorcycle training provider based in Leeds. It offers Compulsory Basic Training (CBT) as the first step in learning to ride a motorcycle. It also provides Direct Access/A2 training, which allows riders to obtain a full motorcycle licence without previously holding a licence for a smaller bike for two years.

The team consists of qualified instructors. A £50 deposit is required at the time of booking to secure a place, and deposits are non-refundable. Payments are accepted over the phone or in cash on the day of the test.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Tommy Bee Motorcycle Training provides motorcycle instruction around Leeds, and the reviews gathered there highlight teaching shaped to the individual rider. Susi is named again and again for the patience and encouragement she brings, guiding learners past nerves and building confidence at a pace that suits them, including those who need extra time or who start on an automatic before converting to a geared bike. Mark and Bill are also singled out for their experience, calm manner and thorough preparation for CBT, A2 and Direct Access courses.

A recurring theme is the benefit of one-to-one tuition in an unhurried environment, with generous time to practise manoeuvres and revisit anything that felt uncertain on the day of the test. The motorcycle itself is described as well kept and reliable throughout sessions, while the instruction is seen as clear, progressive and adapted to each person. Customers value the friendly and humorous approach of the staff, and the readiness to explain choices such as beginning on an automatic. Training covers CBT, manual conversion and full licence routes, with several riders intending to return for further qualifications. Susi's compassionate teaching and Bill's skilled, measured tuition remain the most frequently cited strengths.

I completed my full motorcycle training with Bill, starting from CBT through to Mod 1 and Mod 2, and I’m proud to say I passed all three first time. His instruction was clear, patient, and highly professional throughout. Bill creates a relaxed learning environment, using humour to keep things enjoyable while still maintaining a strong focus on safety and skill development. His ability to adapt his teaching to suit the rider really stands out. I would highly recommend Bill to anyone looking to progress their motorcycle licence. A top-quality instructor who genuinely wants to see you succeed.

id give 0 stars if i could but i cant. the lady in the office was extremely rude and was using aggressive behaviour, blamed everything on me and said its my fault for turning up at 8:20 even though she told me on the phone whilst booking my cbt with her that i should be there at 8:45 but when we got into the office she denied it all and said i shouldve came at 7:45. she said that she’d sent me a letter which she did but never sent an email as she said she would. and because i came at the wrong time that i was given the office lady she didnt want to give our £75 deposit back after the entire misunderstanding. selfish person i dont recommend

Phenomenal teachers! I did both my CBT and manual conversion with them and they do a great job at teaching me. Susi was my teacher for the CBT and she was an angel! Very patient, compassionate, and understanding. Despite me having dyslexia, and needing extra time, she was able to help me grasp things in a manner that encourages confidence. Great sense of humour too, which made the reality of being soaked in the heaviest rain through may incredibly fun. Super greatful to have learned with her. And today I did my manual conversion with Mark. Equally brilliant. Especially in our 1:1 session! He gave me the freedom to breathe and learn at my own pace with great tips, positive reinforcement and reminders when and where I needed it. I have the foundational confidence in needed thanks to them and I look forward to completing my direct access with them in the future. You're in great hands if you choose to learn with them. Thank you Tommy Bee 🐝

Honestly wasn't too pleased to have been put on an automatic to begin with but susi explained it perfectly that it was for my own good being autistic I struggle with multitasking, I will be going back to do geared but the teaching methods are bang on for anyone interested in starting to learn. Couldn't be happier with my experience with both instructors love to have a laugh and take the piss but in a funny way. Can't wait to go back.

I recently completed my CBT with Susi and she was absolutely amazing. I struggled so much with confidence but she got me through it with incredible teaching strategies, patience and a warm and funny personality. I couldn’t recommend Tommy Bee Motorcycle and Susi enough. Thank you so much!
