How the Montana motorcycle test works

  • An endorsement on your licenseMontana adds a motorcycle endorsement to a valid driver license after you pass the written test and a road test; scooters and other motor-driven cycles need it too. You can start at 16, or 15 with approved driver’s ed (not online). Montana Motorcycle Supplement p. 2
  • Learner license firstPass the written test and you get a motorcycle learner license, good for one year, for riding under the immediate supervision of a licensed motorcyclist. Montana Motorcycle Supplement p. 2
  • A course can replace the road testA Montana-approved MSF Basic Rider Course waives the road test if you add the endorsement within a year; road tests run April to November and aren’t given on wet roads. (Montana MVD: Motorcycle Endorsements)
  • Montana equipment rulesHeadlight on at all times and seen at 500 feet, taillight and reflector at 500 feet, stoplight at 100 feet, a mirror showing 200 feet behind, at least one brake and a muffler that isn’t made louder. Montana Motorcycle Supplement p. 2

Based on the Montana Motorcycle Supplement (Revised December 2015). Official licensing agency.
