Motorcycle Racing Academies in India

It is not an unknown fact that the motorsports in India are not as popular as compared to other sports. In recent years the motorsport scenario has started to change in India as manufacturers and organizations like Suzuki, TVS, Maruti-Suzuki, JK Tyres, Red Bull, etc have started organizing various four-wheel and two-wheel motorsports in India to encourage talented motorsport athletes. Among various motorsports, motorcycle racing is one of the most popular motorsports, especially among the youth. Involving oneself in racing on public roads is dangerous and is illegal too. Racing must be practiced only in safe confinements of a race track under the guidance of experts. So for those who seek to build a career in motorcycle motorsports or want to improve their riding skills, here are three racing academies which specialize in providing training on motorcycle racing:
