There is no separate state motorcycle test at the office: new riders must pass the Basic RiderCourse, which includes the course's own written and riding evaluations. Applicants for a Motorcycle Only license must also pass the regular 50-question Class E knowledge exam (80 percent) and the vision and hearing screening.
