What the Utah Motorcycle Operator Manual says about Utah motorcycle laws and licensing

  • What is a Motorcycle?

    Utah defines a motorcycle as a motor vehicle, other than a tractor, with a seat or saddle for the rider and no more than three wheels on the ground. Section 1

  • Required Equipment

    In Utah, motorcycle handlebars may be no higher than shoulder height, motorcycles built after January 1, 1973 must have turn signals, and no one may ride on Utah highways unless the vehicle is in safe mechanical condition with all required equipment working. Section 1

  • License: Learner Permit

    A Utah motorcycle learner permit can be issued to someone at least 16 with a valid Class D or Commercial Driver License who passes the vision test and the motorcycle written knowledge test; it is valid for six months. Section 1

  • Safety Inspections and Registration

    Utah no longer requires safety inspections for motorcycles (a first-time street-legal ATV registration still needs one). Section 1

  • Insurance

    A Utah motorcycle operator must carry evidence of insurance; failing to show it to a peace officer can lead to surrendering the driver license, and further violations to surrendering the vehicle's registration. Section 1

  • Tiered Licensing

    Utah issues motorcycle endorsements in tiers set by the size of the motorcycle used on the skills test: testing on 249 cc or less restricts you to 249 cc or less, on 649 cc or less to 649 cc or less, and on 650 cc or more gives no size restriction. Section 1
