Idaho Motorcycle Manual 2024

All responsible motorcyclists need to learn to share the road with other vehicles, many of which will be many times larger than the bike.

Unfortunately, most other vehicles aren’t going to be looking out for a motorcycle. It’s up to you, the rider, to know how to drive defensively, in order to keep yourself and others safe on the road.

Getting the motorcycle endorsement in ID is typically a two-step process. Applicants must pass a written knowledge test and a motorcycle skills test. However, applicants under the age of 21 must also complete an approved motorcycle rider training course. You might also want to consider the motorcycle instruction permit, which is available for those applicants who have a valid Idaho Class A, B, C or D license. The permit costs $15 and is valid for 180 days. This allows you to operate a motorcycle, with certain restrictions.
