What do I need to do to get a motorcycle license?

To obtain a motorcycle license in New York State, there are a few steps you need to follow. First, ensure you have a valid Class D or DJ learner permit or driver license. You must then complete the Motorcycle Safety Program Basic Rider Course, which provides essential training and a certificate. Next, make an appointment at a local DMV office to take the motorcycle road test. During the test, you must bring the appropriate motorcycle, including valid registration and proof of insurance.
