I'm 16. When i tried to look up information on this all it said was that you needed a valid automobile driver's license, which i now have... so can i now get a bike?

Answer 1

I found the MI Vehicle code, but can't find anything about how old you have to be.

Answer 2

Once you have a drivers license you are eligible for a motorcycle endorsement.  No separate age restriction.

Don't get one.  You have a lot of mistakes to make.  What is a minor mistake in a car is often fatal on a motorcycle.

You also need to learn to predict other drivers mistakes before they make them.  That takes a lot of experience.

Wait until you have 50,000 miles under your belt.  Then consider the motorcycle endorsement.

In the meantime, keep a sharp out for those of us on two wheels.

Check with your DMV. All states list their requirements on a web site.
