About Honda Australia Rider Training - Somerton

Honda Australia Rider Training (HART) at Somerton is one of two HART centres in Victoria — the other is at Kilsyth in Melbourne's outer east — and serves riders across Melbourne's north from its range at 200 Hume Hwy. HART is accredited by VicRoads to deliver both the rider training and the official assessments required to earn a Victorian motorcycle licence, so a learner can complete every stage with the one provider. The pathway runs from the Learner Permit course through the compulsory Check Ride and on to the final Licence Assessment, with practical work on a dedicated training range and out on the road. A key benefit for newcomers is that HART supplies the motorcycles and protective gear — bike, helmet, gloves and jacket — so you don't need your own bike to begin. Riders across every stage of the process consistently praise the professional, safety-focused instruction.

FAQ

Does HART provide a motorcycle for the course?
Yes. HART provides all motorcycles, helmets, gloves and jackets for the duration of its courses, so you don't need to own a bike to start training at the Somerton centre.
What courses do I need to get a Victorian motorcycle licence?
The pathway runs through three stages: the two-day Learner Permit course, the compulsory Check Ride, and the final Licence Assessment. HART is VicRoads-accredited to deliver all three.
Is the Somerton centre the same as the Kilsyth one?
No — HART runs two separate Victorian centres: this one at Somerton (200 Hume Hwy) in Melbourne's north, and another at Kilsyth (112 Colchester Rd) in the outer east. They share a central phone line.
Do I need riding experience to start?
No. HART is accredited to train riders of all ages and experience levels, and the Learner Permit course is designed for complete beginners.
Is the training on a range or on the road?
Both. The Learner Permit course starts on a dedicated training range, while the Check Ride and Licence Assessment include both range work and on-road riding.
