What my students say
A few of the reviews on my Google Business Profile.
“Vlastik is a great and very patient instructor. He can spot mistakes in any situation and explains how to fix them with simple, easy-to-follow steps. After my IBT with Vlastik, I feel much more confident on the road. I highly recommend him!”
Petr Z., Motorcycle IBT
“I did my Category A driving lessons in Kinnegad, where I met Vlastik, and it turned out to be a super valuable experience. He is very patient, no matter how silly my questions were, he always explained everything clearly.”
Katerina S., Category A, Kinnegad
“I had a great experience with the motorbike pre-test lesson. The classes were clear, easy to understand, and very helpful in building my confidence. The instructor was professional and explained everything really well. The price was also very reasonable. Highly recommended!”
Sandeep K., Motorcycle pre-test
Motorcycle training questions
Where do you teach motorcycle lessons?
IBT runs at my RSA-approved centres in Kinnegad Plaza and Tullamore. Pre-test and back-to-riding lessons run anywhere in Dublin from my Rathfarnham office.
Which motorcycle categories do you teach?
A1, A2 and A.
Do I need IBT before pre-test lessons?
Yes. You must complete IBT before riding on a public road as a learner, so IBT comes first.
Do I need my own bike?
Not for IBT. The bike, helmet and riding gear are included, and I have a bike for every category I teach. For pre-test lessons you can use your own bike or hire one of mine.
How soon can I sit my motorcycle test?
First-time learner permit holders must have held the permit for six months. Riders using progressive access do not need to wait.
How much does motorcycle training cost with Raven?
IBT is €650 for A1, A2 and A, run over a full weekend. Pre-test lessons are €45 an hour (minimum two hours, €90, on my bike), my test-day package with bike hire is €200, and back-to-riding or advanced lessons are €90 for two hours.
Can you take me to Kinnegad for IBT?
Yes. Transport is free from the Red Cow Luas stop, Naas town or Sallins town. From anywhere else, message me on WhatsApp and I’ll arrange it, with the price depending on the distance.
