What the Massachusetts Motorcycle Manual says about licensing and gear

  • Licensing Requirements: Licenses and Minors

    You may apply for a Massachusetts Class M license from age 16½. p. 7

  • Licensing Requirements: Permits

    To get a Massachusetts Class M learner's permit you must be at least 16, apply, show ID, pay a fee and pass a knowledge test (applicants without a Class D license pass both the Class D and Class M tests). p. 7

  • Licensing Requirements: Permits

    In Massachusetts, a permit holder who fails the motorcycle road test twice must complete an approved rider training program before scheduling another road test or MREP. p. 7

  • Road Test Equipment

    For the Massachusetts Class M road test the motorcycle must be safe, registered and carry a valid inspection sticker (Massachusetts motorcycles are inspected every year). p. 9

  • Limited Use Vehicles and Trikes

    In Massachusetts a permit holder may take the Class M road test on a limited use vehicle or trike; the license then carries a restriction limiting the rider to that type of vehicle ("limited use vehicle only" or "limited to 3-wheels only"). p. 10

  • Road Test Procedures

    Before the Massachusetts Class M road test the examiner checks that the motorcycle is registered, insured, inspected and in working order and asks about its equipment and controls. p. 10
