Default how get a motorcycle license...

Hi,

I have been in US since 2009. i am from NJ. Since 2010 i have Driver license for a car, i didn't need to take a driver test, because i have Driver license from my country. Now i need to do for a motorcycle ( i don't want to have problem with law) , and i don't have any idea how it works? i was i MVC they gave me some book to study, but when i pass a test for a car they gave me the same book to the study. i am little confuse , because i don't know all rules in NJ . what i need to do. i need to study the same book? and pass the same test?

Thanks for help.

In michigan you have to pass a 20Q multiple guess written test... then you can schedule for a physical riding test with a private instructor who is properly licensed to conduct the test for the state of michigan... good luck

Everything you need to know can be found here: State of New Jersey - Motor Vehicle Commission

1. Study the motorcycle rules.
2. Take a written test.
3. Get a permit.
4. Practice for at least 20 days.
5. Go back and take a road test.
6. Get a motorcycle licence.

I don't know about NJ, but many states also offer riders courses where you are taught and practice riding skills. I rode for over 15 years on the street and "thought I knew it all." Then took the class and realized how many things that I had learned earlier were wrong. The course I took this last fall included the "riders test" listed above. I learned how to do stoppies on the KLX

you'll still need to get a permit/pass the written test....if you take the motorcycle safety class and pass, you can take that and the permit to get your motorcycle license...

The nice thing about taking the class is that they will let you take the road test a few times if you mess up but have the skill. You get one shot at the DMV. Blow it, and you have to come back another day.

I'm sure you can find all the answers to your questions on the New Jersey DMV website. You can probably even download the motorcycle license handbook.
