Coach Can was exactly what I was looking for in a motorcycle (or any motorsport) coach. He is a great observer and will tell you exactly what you are doing incorrectly and how to fix it. He is straight up with his advice which is awesome! I don't want anything sugar coated. I take his classes to get better, not to have someone tell me that I am fast when I am actually slow. The day before I took his first cornering class I rode my favorite canyon road that I ride frequently and took note of my average heart rate as well as how I was feeling during the ride. I rode the exact same road the day after the class and my average heart rate was lower by 30BPM...I couldn't believe it. I felt soooo much smoother and had a lot more energy to push consistently throughout the entire ride. His techniques and advice just from the first class showed me what I was doing incorrectly and helped me have more fun and stay safer while riding! Side note but also very important, he has a really good sense of humor :) I cant wait to take more of his classes!!

I've taken Days 1 & 2 of Coach Can's Cornering class so far, and they've been eye-opening. As a new rider, the lessons have made me feel much more confident and comfortable on my bike, and being able to practice and be coached on a closed course is super helpful. Highly recommend!

Absolutely superb program and a great environment to learn and practice! I'm a seasoned street rider but have gotten quite rusty in recent years due to riding less, plus I am always eager to learn and improve my skills. With Coach Can and his team, I found exactly what I needed: the teaching style is honest and direct, and undeniably passion-driven. I had an absolute blast of a day in the cornering day 1 class; learned a ton, and took numerous improvements back with me to practice in my daily riding. Progress is felt in all areas of the riding experience, and amounts to more confidence, safety -- and enjoyment of the ride! Cannot wait to do all the other classes I have booked. Thank you Coach and team -- see you folks soon!

day 1 cornering nov 2022 class is outstanding. with 45 yrs of experience, i still learned the basics of entering and exiting the turn. find that line and use it. most importantly, coach explained the importance of safety in a very unique way. see it to believe it. how to save your --- in an emergency situation. and i have experienced every example he talked about. the beginner riders in the class(80%) will hopefully never encounter the live or die situations, if they do they will be prepared. rc51. its a great day of learning.

After a near head-on collision with a truck in a tight turn on a winding mountain road this summer, I knew I needed to get a better riding education as soon as possible. A quick internet search led me to Superbike Coach's Cornering School. This series of 3 classes proved to be tremendously helpful. The improvement in my riding skills literally began taking place overnight as I absorbed all the information from our "classroom" time with Coach Can, then applied each new concept on the track. Now that I've completed Day 3, I feel equipped to not only ride safely, but to enjoy riding even more than before because I know how to respond in a variety of different situations. It was necessary to "unlearn" some previous misconceptions about braking while cornering, but Coach and his team patiently demonstrated and worked with each of us to become proficient in each new concept. Every positive word I've read in others' reviews I can validate as well. This is not one of those businesses where you are just a number, nor are they there just to make a buck. Coach Can, Marion, Dean, and Wayne are zealous about making us better riders. They pour themselves into each individual with tons of knowledge, skill, and passion. There is never a boring moment in this interactive class, and plenty to learn whether you are a newer rider or were born on a bike. I love that everything learned on the track is easily transferable to real-life situations on the road. My riding companions have noticed an improvement in my skills already and even expressed interest in taking the class as well. I plan to go through these courses again as a refresher. I cannot thank Coach and his Team enough for investing in me and I highly recommend this class for anyone who has a passion for riding.

As of 11/16/2022 I've now progressed through Cornering School days 1-3 and couldn't be happier with my investment in Superbike Coach. Trusting the Superbike Coach Team is the best riding investment I could've ever made, worth more than the motorcycle (nuts & bolts) because I've started the see the bike as just a tool to apply the techniques we learn. Don't get me wrong, everyone loves a nice bike but even that is subjective and we have to have our priorities straight. Each class in the Cornering School Program was a successive eye opener and things really started coming together for me on Day 3. My pace had picked up enough to where Coach instructed me that I could try hanging off a bit and now I'm ready for the Body Positioning Class. Don't be alarmed that cornering school is split into three days because there is no way to pack all the knowledge into a shorter timeframe let alone apply it effectively! If you put your trust in Coach and only use the techniques taught in the classes in the correct order, you won't be disappointed. The only time I got myself in trouble during the classes is when I was trying to do something out of order or that we hadn't covered yet (late braking, trail braking etc...) Everything you need will be taught in due time. Just keep a clear head, be open minded and ride within yourself. Previous Reviews: I've taken Road Skills and Suspension Workshop with Coach Can so far and it has been the biggest investment in my riding that I could have made. My only regret is not linking up with Superbike Coach sooner! I'm already scheduled for all three cornering school days and they can't come soon enough. Coach Can is great at not only the physical aspects of riding. He will feed those pieces to you when he can tell you are ready for them but also the mental side of riding. Coach will get your mind prepared too. I am adding my review for Cornering Day 1 that I took on 8/21/2022: Wow, this is when your mind will start to open up to the ocean of stuff there is to learn! But fear not, Superbike Coach and Team will navigate you through the ocean. I stayed riding within my limit but still had a fear of being on track in general and/or falling. Once Coach assured me that I was far from the technical limit I was able to focus on the ideal line (which is covered in detail) and viewing techniques. The most important thing for me was to forget anything I thought I knew going in. I was only close to the correct line instinctively on a couple of turns and lost on the rest of the track until we started viewing the track as a whole and from then on, I had a purpose. The waypoint viewing technique that Coach teaches helped a ton to keep me on the line. I found myself picking up pace throughout the day and made a huge leap forward from my previous classes without even worrying about body position and other advanced concepts. I know those are topics for down the road and am trusting the process and order the Coach is laying out. I only wish I could take a class every weekend but in all honesty, the time off between is good to reflect, digest the information and get out on my own to apply the techniques (and get bike upgrades in the meantime lol). Looking forward to many more classes and hope to see some of you good people in there too!

Highly, highly recommend taking the cornering class whether it is your first time on a bike or if you have been riding for 20 years. The passion with which Can Akkaya teaches the class reminds me of my old highschool football coach, which really makes you eager to learn and improve your skills on the bike. I've been riding MotoX since I was 5 y.o., but the Day 1 Cornering Class was only my second time on a streetbike ('12 Ninja 650). The rate at which I gained confidence leaning the bike over and utilizing hard braking made me feel ready to race despite only having about 5 hours of saddle time in my career. Coach's drills and methods of teaching really helped to instill that uber-safe, but still quick, rider's mindset. Really looking forward to Day 2 and 3. If you're on the fence about signing up for a class, just do it, because at the very least you'll get up to 3 hours of track time on a fun, technical track. UPDATE - Just finished Day 3 of the Cornering School and I can now say that this series of courses has expanded my confidence on the bike 10x. The techniques he talks about are so easily understood through the drills that are practiced, and he makes sure that everyone gets the fundamentals down before moving on to the next. As Coach likes to say, each drill adds "tools to your toolbox," where the toolbox is the set of skills riders can use to stay safe in any situation on the road or track. I can confirm that after day 3, the toolbox I have now feels practically complete. The only thing to do now is to work on the principles Coach taught and practice until they are muscle memory. Oh, and also attend the Track Academy/Day 4. Really enjoyed the class curriculum, all the coaches, and the company of the fellow riders there to learn with you. Truly an all around great experience.

Great course. Super practical skills to keep us safe while riding better. Took day 3 again as a refresher. Another great day. It changed how I ride for the better and made me faster and safter.

I loved everything about superbike-Coach and Coach Can. Finished all 3 days of cornering school and it was mind blowing. All the bad habit and wrong things we do without realizing it is bad is demonstrated and discussed to improve. You will be a faster, more confident and much much safer rider after this. Highly recommended

Just finished Day 2 with Coach Can- the class is everything I hoped for and more! There are many things to like about him and the class- first and foremost is his passion for the topic and how he can keep an entire class engaged, while also still making you feel like he is watching you and only you almost every moment. Second, he goes out of his way to show you the difference between what you need to know vs. the entire world of what you could know if you were trying to become a Moto GP racer (which we are not). Third, and what I like most, is how he breaks down complex processes into simple steps to learn one at a time. Super excited to attend Day 3 next month! Great students in both classes that I have attended so far as well. UPDATE- Just finished Day 3 class last week. Epic. It's amazing to see the various skills coming together as you start to build increased confidence with the technical know how... excited to keep the training going and excited to hit Thunderhill in 6 weeks! UPDATE #2- I learned so much from taking the Cornering Skills Day 1-3 the first time, that I am retaking the course with my son. What is really interesting is that I find I am learning even more in the 2nd round of the course (thankfully comes with a discount to re-take) as the skills start to sink in and become more advanced. The extra opportunity to practice certain drills that I struggled with the first time through is really helping me to overcome challenges and get them right the 2nd time. Of course, sharing the experience with my son is also amazing, and not only is the entire Superbike Coach team amazing, but it is great to be in a class full of enthusiasts who share your passion. Could not give a higher recommendation than this one- definitely amazing! Update #3- Well, I have finished Cornering School Days 1-3 for a 2nd time, so now 6 classes in total are under my belt. Definitely you can see the difference in your own skills when taking the classes a 2nd time, and at a 50% discount for the re-takes, the value is unmatched. In addition to a full day of training and camaraderie with other people who share your passion, the open track practice at the end of the day to put all your learning together in live track time is just amazing. I cannot say enough great things about Coach Can but I will sum up that he gains pleasure watching you develop into a better rider, whether your future is the street or the track. Next up is the Track Academy and then some 1:1 track coaching next season!
