I am turning 16 in a few months (WOO HOO) so I was looking at financing a new Kawi. I don't know what the power of the 636 is going to be like, but I am leaning towards it. I also have a few questions. I live in PA and am wondering what the motorcycle license requirements are. Do i have to carry a passanger for so many hrs.? Can i take my MC test before the car test and aquire a license?



Thanks,
Will



EDIT: I am not worried about the test tho, I have taken many pretests and have gotten all 98%s to 100%. For both car and MC. I have been driving cars and MC on road for about a year almost 2. I just would rather get my MC license first because I have the KLX250 to ride. I had a 90' RX7 turbo with 15 psi but I sold it.

 

i dont know about in PA but in washington i think the age is 18 for mc license. and i dont know if you need a drivers license or not but just a written and a ride test are required here

 

I pray its not 18 here.

you just gotta utilize your internet man..look at local laws. theres the pa dot site about bikes

 

I've read that already but it doesn't really answer any of my questions. PA DMV website sucks.

 

I guess you can get it under 18 or it wouldn't have a box that says "If under 18" if you couldn't. But I still need to know about if you can take it before car and some opinions for the 636 for a first sport bike.

 

i looked at the permit app. and it says that a notary must be signed, meaning that your parent or guardian must say its ok for you to get your motorcycle permit

 

Man Kev you are on the friggin ball!

 

most likely you can. just give them a call or go down there or something. as for the 636..never ridden one but if you've ridden dirt before it shouldnt be that much of a change. i jumped on my first bike for my first ride about a month ago and it was a 500...so just take it slow for a bit..or you can buy my 500 and ill buy a 636

 

Haha, or we can both buy ZX14's[sm=badbadbad.gif]
