• Answer:

  You have to be 16, and already have a valid license (full provisional, regular, or commercial) to get a motorcycle endorsement. To get a motorcycle learner's permit, you must have a full provisional or a regular license, and be between the ages of 16 and 18. You will also have to pass a knowledge test, and then a practical test, just like when getting your regular license. Since you are under 18 you will also be required to take a motorcycle safety course offered by third parties (meaning not the DMV). There are links to two such programs in the source provided, as well as all the information you'll need to get on the road. Have fun, I wish I had a street bike to cruise around on!
