What the Kentucky Motorcycle Operators Manual says about Kentucky laws and safety tips

  • Kentucky motorcycle law

    In Kentucky, motor bikes, mini bikes and other small vehicles may not be ridden on a street or highway until they meet motor vehicle requirements such as a registration plate and the rider holds a license; without them they may be ridden only on private property. p. 1

  • Operator/passenger requirements

    To ride on a Kentucky public road you need an operator's license with a motorcycle endorsement, a motorcycle license, or a motorcycle instruction permit; a rider on an instruction permit may not carry passengers. p. 1

  • Motorcycle safety education program

    Kentucky's motorcycle rider training courses are open to any resident with a valid driver's license of any class or a motorcycle instruction permit, and finishing an approved course that includes a similar skills test exempts you from the licensing skills test. p. 2

  • Operator/passenger requirements

    Kentucky requires the motorcycle operator to use an approved eye-protection device, whatever their age or license, in the way the Transportation Cabinet prescribes. p. 2

  • Safety tips/summary

    Stay off interstate highways unless your motorcycle can cruise at interstate speed; Kentucky's manual says the engine should be 250 cc or larger for interstate speeds. p. 32

  • Safety tips/summary

    For the best control and comfort, Kentucky's manual says handlebars should sit no more than 15 inches above seat level. p. 32
