My buddy just got his certificate here and told me how great the school was. Coming into the course i was a bit nervous since i've never ridden or even been on a motorcycle before but Chris and Peter did an excellent job being patient and practical with all of us (8 trainees) to the point from not knowing where the kickstand was to safety ripping around corners and shifting like pros. If you're interested in learning to ride a bike, scooter, or tricycle this school is 100% worth your time and money! Thank you again to the legends: Chris and Pete for hanging out in the heat all day with us newbs and teaching us what you're passionate about!! read more

I had a great experience throughout my weekend of beginner training. Having never ridden before, these guys got me feeling comfortable on two wheels and confident in my abilities while also expressing the importance of continued training. Peter and Alfredo were great to be around, made the time fun and informative. Very knowledgeable and also helped guide me in the right direction to purchase my first bike. Highly recommend. read more

William sold this. The new owner doesn't seem to care about repeat business. I can no longer recommend this establishment. Took 3 days to respond to my inquiry. I replied to her questions, and have not heard a word back. Must have too much business to care about having 10 to 12 customers dropped right in their lap. read more

Shal and Peter were both amazing instructors who are incredibly knowledgeable and care about promoting rider safety. Don't waste your time taking any other class just to save a few bucks. The competent instructors, selection of motorcycles, and huge dedicated parking lot add even more value to the top notch training material. And then there's the opportunity to take even more advanced classes, too. This is the ONLY school I will ever recommend to anyone learning to ride! Thanks again, Shal, Peter and Iron Buffalo! read more

I completed the 3 wheel course this past weekend and had the best experience EVER. Wif and Shirley made the class fun so you absorbed information. They didn't talk AT you, they involved everyone and made you want to participate without forcing you to. Their enthusiasm is infectious and you can tell they love what they do. My classmates were all fantastic and supportive with each other. We cheered each other, we offered suggestions to each other. There were high-fives all the way around. It was the best two days of learning!!! I highly recommend this class if you don't have a 3 wheeler and thinking about getting one. If you have a 3 wheeler and don't have your endorsement yet, this class is very informative and TOTALLY worth every minute. read more

I loved this course! Bob and Peter were amazing instructors. I learned a ridiculous amount of riding skills both mental and physical. I really feel confident in taking my skills out on the streets since receiving my endorsement. The range is bigger then some other ranges I've seen which allowed us to practice some higher speed exercises (still no more then 20mph). I also loved how they do a zoom meeting the day before the first class and also the evening of our first class. It helped me feel more comfortable knowing what to expect and somewhat meet my other classmates prior to the actual class. I can be quite shy or less social meeting new people but this allowed me to be more friendly and social with my classmates during the course. The curriculum was 20 riding exercises which most other classes only offer 14. This was great cause we were able to get more miles in which that definitely helps better prepare a rider for the streets. Overall I highly recommend taking this course. It's worth the price! read more

Beware. 7 instructors so of course everyone had different opinions. I took the intermediate class just because I've been riding for many many years. Well needless to say they failed me but each instructor wanted something different. One says one thing the other says something else and at the end of the day you don't understand what they want to see you do for the score card. I'm a proficient rider so for the beginners taking this course be very careful spending your time and money with these guys. Waste of money and feel like I got schemed to come back. No thank you! Only 1 rider passed this course with 7 instructors that should say something. 5 days later after the Iron Buffalo experience. I went and did a DMV riding test with a different school/instructor. Took about 30 mins to walk away with my motorcycle endorsement. The instructor told me I did really great with zero penalties on my riding test. read more

Had a great time this weekend taking the 3 wheel class! Shirley and Bob did a great job running us through the 3-wheel specific skills as well as providing a great refresher course on basic defensive driving skills. What's not to love about spending some time on a Ryker? Can't wait to get my own! Now I am street legal and proficient to handle it. read more

Terri, in the office, is great. She's easy to reach, very helpful, and on top of her business. Pete and Bob are great, too. They have decades of experience and first hand knowledge. They keep it light while not missing a thing and never letting anything slide. They are very cognizant that this training is about keeping people alive, unharmed, and safe. I found it to be a fun, informative, and challenging class and will be going back for all of the advanced classes as well. read more

I wouldn't suggest going here if you are a real beginner. Pretty much ruined it for me!

These guys are simply fantastic. Our RiderCoaches, George and Alan, were perfect; always supportive and encouraging, but stern when they saw bad habits or unsafe practices. Training here was a genuinely good time, and the bikes provided were more than sufficient for the task (Honda Nighthawk 250s and Honda Rebel 250s, in good repair). Exercises were well-paced, and I feel like I had sufficient practice time for everything. The Metro Denver training area (the former Lowry AFB in Aurora) is a perfect place to learn, with very little traffic or extraneous noise. Somehow, IBMT also provides the lowest price in town! It's hard to believe, but I actually felt a bit sad having to leave our class afterwards. Everyone had a great attitude, but I attribute this at least partially to George and Alan who consistently ensured that people were learning at an appropriate pace and didn't feel embarrassed if they made mistakes. I can't emphasize these qualities enough, especially if you're someone who isn't quite sure if they're ready to start riding yet. I had about two years of experience before taking this course and never felt bored, and they got my girlfriend (who hadn't ridden a bike in two or three years!) to a near-perfect (-5 score) performance for the final test. read more

Sheeeeeiiit! It has been a long ass minute since I've been on a bike! Damn nearly 20 years! Decided to get back on it mostly because one my lovies said she goes nuts in her subwaistial regions when on a bike. And you know your boy needs to make THAT happen. Yeah, I was a bit rusty a first but came back like, well, ridin a bike. Ended up w the top score on skillz and writtent, beating all them white boyz that was in the class. My instructor, William, was on point. Real good dude. Easy going but didn't let any of us knuckleheads get out of line read more

Had a blast this weekend in the basic riders course!!! Bob and Deb were amazing instructors that taught me more then I ever thought I could learn in 2 days! They were very supportive and knowledgeable. I would definitely recomend this company to anyone that wants to learn how to ride! read more

I recently completed the New Rider course at Iron Buffalo. I'd definitely recommend them for learning the basics of riding. Paul & Doug are a couple great guys, patient an knowledgeable. read more

The program accommodates riders of all skill levels. It is well organized and run by very experienced riders, who also happen to be excellent instructors. They are patient, attentive, and able to quickly improve rider's skills, no matter what level you come in at. Highly recommend Iron Buffalo. read more

It was 20 years since I had been on a motorcycle and I wanted to get my endorsement, so I took the experienced class. When I called, a person answered the phone who answered all my questions. I was able to sign up online and pay with paypal, no problem. I was sent a confirmation email telling me everything I needed to know for the the class. I also got a call to confirm and remind me what I needed to bring to the class. The class is part prep for the written test and other part is riding a motorcycle threw cones simulating different situations. I was able to run the exercises as often as I needed. The instructor criticized me for not looking over my left shoulder as much as I should have. I told him that I had a pain in my back that kept me from turning my head too much. I was impressed that he picked up on it as I hadn't mentioned my back condition. This is a great way to freshen up skills without needing to worry about the restrictions imposed by the Colorado motorcycle permit. Also since motorcycles are supplied, you don't need to worry about dumping your own bike. I asked why the bikes had no mirrors on them and the instructor told me it was because the bikes were dropped so often. After passing the written and riding test, I took my certification to the dmv and got my endorsement after paying a $28 fee. It was hassle free, I learned to be a better rider and it was easily worth the price of the class. read more

Love that the class is presented by people that love riding and answer our questions.. Loved taking the class with Shirley, she was amazing. Made me feel like I ACTUALLY learned something. She made the class informative, fun and easy to understand. I now take my Spyder out every chance I get. Still hesitant to try I-25 yet. I'll wait til I get a few more hours under my belt. I highly recommend this class for women and men. read more

Took the beginner course this past weekend. It was super easy to book the training and the venue was very comfortable and convenient. Brian was my riderguide and he made it fun and I learned a ton from him. Well worth the money and I got my motorcycle endorsement on my license after passing the course. read more

Highly recommended! If you are at all nervous about being on your bike, taking the DMV class or testing with the DMV for your motorcycle endorsement..take this class! Heck, take it if you already have your endorsement- it's great to refresh your skills and may save your life! The instructors made this day fun and were so informative. Bonus, I got my motorcycle endorsement card after testing on the course and taking a 25 question written test! What a great day! I tested with our scooter group of ten, we often ride together on group rides throughout the city. It's great to know we are all taking the time to be safe riders. I feel like we all learned something and will be even better riders going forward. Iron Buffalo makes it fun and easy to level up your skills. read more

I can't recommend this enough. My wife and I took the 2-day Beginner class this past weekend. Our instructors were David and Bob. We have both ridden bikes in the past, but it had been about 8-9 years since we last rode. I thought I'd learn a couple things here or there, but never expected it to be this informative and learn as much as I did. The instructors were great and provided both encouragement and ways to improve. My wife and I improved quite a bit, but what was amazing is how the absolute beginners went from not knowing anything to being able to perform fairly complex tasks by the end of the second day. If you're looking to learn from scratch or improve, you should strongly consider going to these classes! read more

I had a GREAT experience with Iron Buffalo. I took the experienced rider course, instructed by William. I was looking to pick up some safety tips, get some practice on my bike and various obstacle courses, and get my endorsement. The one-day class was perfect and I walked away with some helpful safety tips and my endorsement after a very fun day! Need to send my wife next! read more

Excellent experience! The price was competitive, the location is convenient for Denver and Bob, the instructor I had was kind, patient and just a cool motherfucker. I wouldn't hesitate to send a friend here. Go for it, you won't regret it. read more

Bob and Kent were great instructors. I highly recommend this course. Having never been on a motorcycle before, I walked away feeling confident and capable of riding. read more

Informative and Incredible! Highest recommendations from others and now I personally know why after successfully completing the basic course with instructors Bob, Gavin and David. Professional, great incite, real, patient, encouraging and applied positive correction and feedback where needed! Soooo worth it to learn, reinforce good and correct bad habits, get back up to speed for me. Highest praise to Iron Buffalo, staff, instructors, and all! read more

As somebody who has never even been on the back of a motorcycle, nor knows how to drive stick, I was worried coming into the Basic class. Within a couple of hours, not only was I on a bike, but riding it (slowly) with confidence. The RiderCoaches were both so encouraging, informative, and just genuinely good people. I came away from the class with more knowledge and safety information than I even thought existed, and I'm already considering taking their Intermediate class once I ride around for a little while. Highly recommended to everyone--beginner or not. read more

I took this class with zero experience and quite a bit of nervousness surrounding learning how to ride. I arrived on time both days as did the staff and was beyond friendly. Bob, my instructor, took great care of making sure all questions were answered and everyone was included and on the same page. His level of patience really was awesome and he makes one incredible instructor. I took this class last weekend and I am already riding a Suzuki C50 800cc around my town and on the highway to and from work. I was given the confidence and skills to be a safe and instinctive rider and I couldn't be happier. This place is absolutely worth your money and time!! read more

Holy moly! Words cannot express how amazing this class is. Not only have I learned so much as a motorcycle rider (and car driver), I thoroughly enjoyed the method of teaching/learning of how to be the best rider you can be... I have never driven a motorcycle and it was the most mentally and physically challenging thing I've done. My instructors Bob and Peter were beyond patient and extremely helpful. They cheered us on and answered all the questions we had (I asked a lot). I encourage anyone aspiring to be a licensed and responsible motorcycle driver to take this course. read more

Great course, iron buffalo is very accommodating and professional. The course was helpful and confidence building with great driving exercises and instruction. read more

I was very impressed with the whole experience. I had my original class dates rescheduled twice due to weather. When the next available classes were dates I could not attend William kept me informed and got my training completed on days that no classes were scheduled. The instructor Ken was great, fun, and engaging. My instruction was superb. I really appreciate this class and the lengths the staff went to accommodate me. Thank you. ... read more

Excellent course, excellent instruction. The progression of skills we learned over the two days gave us a great foundation to build on to ride safely and defensively. I was really impressed with our instructor Bob. He instilled confidence and was very encouraging. I would highly recommend Iron Buffalo to anyone that wants to develop their skills and stay as safe as possible out on the road regardless of their level of experience. read more

I like that it was easy to sign up online and the reminder call a few days ahead of time was thoughtful, courteous and helpful. My instructor, Bob, was more than accommodating after I told him I plan to ride a scooter; he immediately asked if I wanted to change vehicles and quickly switched out my motorcycle for a scooter before we started class. I was grateful and appreciated being able to practice on the type of vehicle I would actually be riding. The class itself was thorough, informative, and I came away feeling relieved and confident. We were given plenty of breaks and the small class size made it easy to feel like we were getting the best feedback we could get. I really enjoyed my experience and will definitely come back for the advanced classes. read more

The good: Professionalism over the phone. I had a very bad experience with "The motorcycle training center" and called this place to get into a class. I was quickly scheduled. The actual class. Small class size with easy communication. Good little bikes to ride. The bad: You will be on a black top parking lot with no shade or cover. Prepaid to be assaulted by the sun, while sitting in the most horrible metal back breaking chairs. A canopy is $40 bucks at Walmart mart guys. The lot is painted with all manner of lines for different exercises which gets pretty convoluted and confusing considering the "cones" used to mark the course for unpainted exercises are the size of a hockey puck and hard to see while mixed in with the crazy lines. The instructor was kind of a dick when you fail to see these tiny tiny cones. His instruction was more inpatient than preferred and I've been riding for many years. It wasn't as though I was trying to run anyone over. Just couldn't decipher one exercise at first run. Anyway, not a big deal. Take the class. Get legal. read more

So I've never actually taken their course, however, I was signed up for one and had a family issue come up and had to go out of town. They kindly refunded my money and were very professional about it. Nice group of people. read more

10/10 would HIGHLY recommend. I had not ridden any street bikes until i took their weekend class, but now after going through and passing both the written and road test, i feel so much more confident with getting a bike. The instructors were professional, super nice, extremely knowledgeable, and most of all, they were very good teachers! For the price, what you get is unbeatable and the skills they teach are invaluable. I look forward to taking an advanced class with this school once i get better with the basics. I cannot say enough good things about this class. Thanks guys! read more

After being away from cycling for 15 years I was wanting to ride again. I took the 2 day Basic Rider Course and it was fantastic. The instructors Bob and Deb were knowledgeable, patient, and encouraging. We spent two full days which included thorough and understandable examples, demonstrations, and then actively practicing the riding skills. I was totally amazed at how much we covered. Bob is a very knowledgeable rider and has a formula for helping every biker improve with his positive way of explaining, correcting, and encouragement. Deb was outstanding as well and had plenty of energy and patience. I loved this course. I will likely take the other courses they offer as I progress in my riding and knowledge. read more
