How the New Jersey motorcycle test works
- Two ways to the endorsementLicensed New Jersey drivers either take an approved Basic Rider Course, which can waive both the MVC knowledge test and the road test, or get a motorcycle examination permit by passing the MVC knowledge and vision tests, practice, and then pass the MVC road test. New Jersey Driver Manual, Chapter 10: Motorcycle Manual p. 164–166
- Practicing on a permitPermit holders must practice for at least 20 days before the road test. They may not ride from half an hour after sunset until half an hour before sunrise, carry a passenger, or use a toll road or limited-access highway, but no accompanying rider is needed. New Jersey Driver Manual, Chapter 10: Motorcycle Manual p. 166–170
- The road testYou bring your own registered and insured motorcycle, a helmet and eye protection, and must be 18. The exercises cover turning and stopping in a box, a cone weave and U-turn, quick braking and an obstacle swerve; stalling the motorcycle means a fail. Trike riders take a test like the car road test. New Jersey Driver Manual, Chapter 10: Motorcycle Manual p. 166–172
- Younger riders and the 500cc limitRiders under 18 must take the Basic Rider Course before the endorsement. Anyone who passes the road test on a bike of 231cc or less may ride only motorcycles up to 500cc (code 5 on the license) unless they have finished a state safety course. New Jersey Driver Manual, Chapter 10: Motorcycle Manual p. 164–165

Questions about the test
Do I have to take the motorcycle knowledge test in New Jersey?
If you already hold a New Jersey basic or commercial license, finishing an approved Basic Rider Course can waive both the MVC knowledge test and the motorcycle road test, though some applicants, such as drivers in the GDL program, may not qualify. Without the course, you pass the MVC knowledge and vision tests to validate a motorcycle examination permit. New Jersey Driver Manual, Chapter 10: Motorcycle Manual p. 164–166
