The Minnesota Driver and Vehicle Services (DVS) issues a motorcycle endorsement to applicants who meet the following requirements: To begin with, they must be at least 16 years old, hold a valid driver’s license, and pass a motorcycle knowledge test. What happens next depends on the applicant’s age. Riders at least 18 years of age must complete either a skills test or an approved Basic Rider Course (BRC). Riders under 18 must complete both the Basic Rider Course and the skills test and have a parent or legal guardian provide consent.
We know you’re eager to take your Harley-Davidson out for a spin. Minnesota’s roads have a lot to offer to motorheads, but you must be patient and consistent in your studies.
