How the West Virginia motorcycle test works

  • An F endorsement or a Class F licenseWest Virginia riders need a motorcycle endorsement (F) on their driver’s license or a Class F motorcycle-only license. It starts with a knowledge test at a DMV office for a learner’s permit. (WV DMV: Motorcycle)
  • Learner’s permit limitsThe motorcycle permit is valid in daylight only, allows no passenger and lasts 180 days; it can’t be renewed, so you retest if it expires. After seven days you can book the on-cycle skills test. Under 18, you must first complete Level II of the graduated license. (WV DMV: Motorcycle)
  • A course can replace the skills testThe Basic or Experienced Rider Course (about 17 hours, Saturday to Sunday afternoon) waives the on-cycle skills test; graduates present the completion card for the F endorsement. (WV DMV: Motorcycle)
  • Helmets for everyoneAll West Virginia motorcycle riders and passengers must wear a DOT-certified helmet. (WV DMV: Motorcycle Helmets)

Based on the West Virginia Motorcycle Operator Manual (WV DMV Edited Eighteenth Revision). Official licensing agency.

Questions about the test

How many questions are on the West Virginia motorcycle knowledge test?

The WV DMV doesn’t publish the size. Our practice exam uses 25 questions with 19 correct to pass, drawn from the West Virginia Motorcycle Operator Manual. (WV DMV: Motorcycle)

What does this West Virginia motorcycle practice test cover?

The West Virginia Motorcycle Operator Manual (the WV DMV’s edited 18th MSF edition, March 2023): gear and checks, control, lane position, SEE and intersections, crash avoidance, passengers and cargo, group riding, alcohol, drugs and fatigue, three-wheelers, hand signals and T-CLOCS. West Virginia Motorcycle Operator Manual p. 3–55

Do I retake the motorcycle test when I renew my West Virginia license?

No. Once you hold the motorcycle endorsement or a Class F license, state law doesn't let the DMV make the motorcycle exam a condition of renewal. The exam itself covers riding a motorcycle and the traffic laws written for motorcycles, plus a demonstration that you can control one. (West Virginia Code: §17B-2-7b, Motorcycle Examination and Endorsement)

How much does a West Virginia motorcycle permit and license cost?

West Virginia Division of Motor Vehicles lists the current fees for the motorcycle permit, tests and license on its official fee page. (West Virginia DMV: License and Renewal Fees)
