Motor Cycle Training?

Question

No sure if anyone can advice me but I would like to learn to ride a motor bike however more then a 50cc I have been told that because I have been driving for a few years I might not have to do the full test however am not sure if this is correct, I am a little confused if a CBT is for only bikes under a 50cc.

Answer 1

If you want to ride anything above a 50cc moped (for which you are covered by your car licence if you passed that test before 1 February 2001) you will need to take the CBT, it is a basic training course and is not intimidating, the instructors want you to pass, don't view it as a test – that comes later.

Your age will make a difference as to what you can ride after your CBT.

Look for "Rider Ed" or "Rider Education" for your state.  When I went they had little 125s for the group.  And at the end, they gave you the motorcycle test.

NOTE - you do have to have your permit in hand before you take the course and they tend to book QUICK!

Just finished a Harley Davidson Riders Edge course. They book months in advance and the course is not cheap, but it is excellent. The Harley course is four days in Texas where the State approved Motorcycle Safety Foundation course is only two. The MSF training is conducted on 125 or 250 cc bikes, where as the Riders Edge course provided Buell 492 cc sport bikes. I really recommend the Harley course highly.

In most states, you can take a class from the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF), and it will count as your DMV motorcycle test. It's a great course. They provide all the equipment incuding the motorcycles, and start assuming you know nothing. Your insurance will give you a discount for completing the course as well.
