2007 Manufacturer Incentives

[g®eg™]

American Honda Motor Co., American Suzuki Motor Corp., Harley Owner’s Group (H.O.G.), Riders of Kawasaki (ROK) and Yamaha Motor Corp. have much more in common than you might think. Each has its own incentive program designed to benefit RiderCourse graduates.

American Honda offers a maximum $75 reimbursement to members of the Honda Rider’s Club of America (HRCA). Some limitations apply, and full eligibility rules are contained in the member’s benefit manual. This offer is limited to the MSF-recognized RiderCourses. Riders who own a Honda motorcycle or scooter can join at their Honda dealer or by calling 800.847.4722. Single membership is $39.95 with roadside assistance.
Membership without roadside assistance is $24.95.

American Suzuki offers a RiderCourse benefit for new “Rider Graduates.” American Suzuki Motor Corporation will reward a RiderCourse graduate $50 upon verification of both the course completion and the purchase of a new street-legal Suzuki motorcycle (one reward per person annually). Purchaser must submit a copy of the course tuition receipt, RiderCourse completion card, motorcycle purchase invoice and a reimbursement form (given to the purchaser by the dealer at the time of purchase) to American Suzuki. Training can occur up to six months before or six months after purchase of a new street-legal motorcycle.

Harley Owners Group (H.O.G.) and Buell Riders Adventure Group (B.R.A.G.) have Safe Rider Skills their own special incentive for RiderCourse graduates who are H.O.G. or B.R.A.G. members. To receive reimbursement, members must be active in H.O.G. or B.R.A.G. on the date the course is taken. The reimbursement is up to $50, paid in the form of a bonus coupon. Reimbursement is limited to one course annually. Requests for Buell Riders Adventure Group reimbursement must be made within three months from the course date. Members (B.R.A.G.) who have already completed a RiderCourse should submit copies of their tuition receipts and RiderCourse completion cards to H.O.G. or B.R.A.G.

Riders of Kawasaki (ROK) will reimburse $50 for completing the RiderCourse to members of ROK. Reimbursement is limited to one course annually. Reimbursement will be received in the form of ROK bucks. Present them to your dealer and use them toward your accessory purchase. To receive your reimbursement, submit copies of tuition receipt, RiderCourse completion card, and don't forget to include your membership number to Kawasaki Motors Corp. USA/ROK.

Yamaha has taken a slightly different approach. They are offering a $50 U.S. Savings Bond to purchasers of a new street-legal Yamaha, regardless of model year, when the purchaser completes the RiderCourse. Training must be completed within six months of purchase. To receive the Savings Bond, customers must submit copies of their Yamaha bill of sale, their RiderCourse tuition receipt, their RiderCourse completion card and a payment request form (given to the customer by the dealer at the time of purchase) to Yamaha.

Insurance Discounts: Many insurance companies offer premium discounts to RiderCourse graduates. These can range from 5% to as much as 20%, depending on the insurance company. In some cases, the savings can be as much as course tuition itself. When you couple this with the reimbursements available, it may be possible for students to not only take the RiderCourse at (essentially) no cost, but to put a few dollars in their pockets as well.
