Question

Do I need to own my own motorcycle to take the Massachusetts motorcycle road test?

Answer 1

yes, the state does NOT provide equipment for the test. You must have a bike and it must have current registration and insurance. You must also have a DOT approved helmet.

FYI, I looked at your question again and realized that my answer was not as complete as you might have wanted. Specifically you do NOT need to OWN the bike you are riding during the test. You may borrow a friend or family member's ride. You must however have a valid learners permit, have taken and passed the written test and have insurance that covers you while riding. A helmet is also necessary in most states particularly when you only have a permit.
